"I miss my wife and kids"

Brian Martindale drives truck in North Dakota, but his family is back home in Minnesota. He’s married with three young children, all under the age of seven. Martindale spoke with Black Gold Boom’s Todd Melby about working in the Bakken while his wife and kids live hundreds of miles away.

That story was produced by Todd Melby.
