About 701 Clean LLC

North Dakota gets by on a single area code for the whole state, and Watford City wears it on this crew's truck doors well before sunrise finds Highway 85 already busy with oilfield traffic. By the time the first tankers roll south, the driveways along the side streets are already scraped down to bare asphalt. Wind out here packs snow into drifts that look soft and pack hard as gravel, the kind that needs a blade set low and a second pass right behind it. The crew works McKenzie County's grid roads and cul-de-sacs alike, clearing lots before shift-change traffic builds and walkways before the school buses start their rounds. A freshly cut driveway shows as a long dark stripe against the white for exactly as long as it takes the wind to start filling it back in.
