Long-Time Partnership, New Heights in Drilling Success
At Rig Source, we’re honored to support drillers through every stage of their journey – from early rentals to full fleet builds. One of those success stories belongs to Nick Jones, owner of Jones Drilling, whose relationship with Rig Source spans over a decade and continues to grow stronger each year.
A Decade of Trust
Nick has worked with Rig Source for over ten years, relying on our rentals, service, and equipment purchases to support his expanding drilling operations. Two years ago, he branched out to start Jones Drilling, and since then, his business has seen tremendous success across the geotechnical, environmental, and exploration sectors.
Reflecting on his experience, Nick shared:
“I’ve had the pleasure of working with Rig Source for ten plus years and my experience has been nothing short of outstanding. From the moment I first connected with them, I was impressed by their professionalism and commitment to quality. In particular, Patrick, the manager I’ve worked with directly, has been an absolute pleasure. His knowledge and attention to detail have made every step of the process seamless, and he consistently goes above and beyond to ensure that all of our needs are met.”
“Rig Source truly stands out for their reliability, excellent customer service, and high-quality products. Jones Drilling would not be where we are today without the help of Rig Source’s support. Their excellent service has allowed us to grow to where we are today. I highly recommend them to anyone in need of rental, service, and rig purchasing. Patrick and his team are a real asset to the company, and I’m confident you will be as satisfied as I am with their work.”
From Skeptic to Fraste Fan
Over the years, Patrick Madden has worked closely with Nick to supply a wide range of equipment – including Diedrich rigs, Versatran Retriever trucks, and most notably, a growing fleet of Fraste drills.
While Nick initially had some reservations about the Fraste line, his tune has changed entirely. Today, Jones Drilling is renting two Fraste XL-140s, one Fraste ML, and one Versatran Retriever, and has also purchased a Fraste ML to round out his expanding fleet.
His success is a testament to what’s possible with the right tools, support, and a commitment to growth.
The Rig Source Difference
Nick’s journey from long-time renter to business owner is exactly the kind of story we’re proud to be part of. His trust in our team and equipment reflects our ongoing dedication to supporting drillers not just with rigs, but with real relationships and reliable service.
Thank you, Nick and the Jones Drilling team, for continuing to choose Rig Source. We’re proud to support your success and look forward to what’s next.
