About
Who We Are
About Team Services: We are a second-generation, family-owned and operated company, continuing the legacy of 50-year industry veteran, Jim Fletcher. Founded in 2007, Team Services began by providing shore tankerman services to the inland marine transportation system along the Gulf Coast.
Over time, we expanded our offerings to crude storage terminals, performing total site management, including tank farm, rail, truck and pipeline operations. From inland marine to offshore support, Team Services has you covered.
What Sets Us Apart
Team Services is committed to delivering Operational Excellence to the industry with a total teamwork approach. This concept extends to our customers, employees, and their families.
- We are a woman-owned company
- We are employee and family-focused
- We strive to understand our customer business needs
- We provide seamless integration
- We offer education and apprenticeships
- We give back to the industry and to our local communities
Training + Experience
We understand our customer’s safety and operational needs and develop employee-focused training and career growth plans.
Employee development begins with participation in the Team Services Apprenticeship Program, which:
- Trains and develops tankermen through a customized, proprietary 4-6 month program
- Culminates in the successful completion of our in-house Coast Guard Approved Dangerous Liquids School and Marine Firefighting School
- Incorporates the Safety Net process, providing hands-on supervision to newly released tankermen.
Focus on Safety
ZERO HARM: We relentlessly pursue an incident-free workplace through proactive risk management, teamwork and continuous improvement.
STOP-WORK AUTHORITY: Every team member is empowered to halt operations in the presence of newly developing or unresolved hazards to safeguard our workforce and environment.
COMMUNICATION: Safety discussions initiate every meeting, reinforcing our shared responsibility. Our robust near-miss and hazard reporting program gives a channel for every team member to contribute to a safer environment.
RISK ASSESSMENT: Hazard assessment and risk mitigation play a pivotal role in our operations, creating a proactive culture where every risk is identified and tackled head-on.

Industry
We believe in contributing to our industry with the best trained team and the highest quality service to seamlessly integrate with our customers’ operations.
We grow our employees from the ground up with the Team Services Tankerman School, Apprentice Program, ongoing continuing education, employee development, and training with a low employee/supervisor ratio. Our hands-on approach develops the culture of safety and supports performing the Team way, which leads to incident and injury prevention.
We contribute by participating in the following organizations:
Our People
We believe that a healthy employee is key, so we strive to lead the industry by having a robust benefits program, covering 100% of employee health premiums.
As a family-owned company, we believe that strong family support helps our employees perform their best. When a family is thriving, so is our team. We cover a portion of family health insurance benefits and host events throughout the year to celebrate the contributions made to help our Team succeed.
We offer competitive wages, as well as appreciation events and anniversary and incentive programs, that enable our Team members to support their families.
