Do you carry a defibrillator in case you take one of these old timers with you?

What's the pay, profit sharing and how soon can I retire?

did a rough calc

look like a guy should have 12500 shiny silver pieces, flow through his pocket by the end of the month every month, as a helper, not bad for a young lad, at the end of the month being able to purchase a new 900 ranger xp with cash, with expeience comes more $$$$. crew chief neighborhood 18,000+ pieces of silver .

I'll get back to you. I have to see if I can buy that sweet parka back from teeroy. When I sold it, I didn't think there would be a time I would need it again. I still have the Sorrel and wind pants so I'm nearly good to go.

[Sledderglen]

Larry this job will have a effect on your post count. What is your plan to keep that up?

 

[Bogger]

Is that before or after Harper and Prentice get their cut.....

Even pre tax $12k / month is a good wage.... I played around in the locating racket for a while when I was land surveying.... Labor laws regarding hours of service mean nothing to those guys

[imdoo'n]

[buckie]

Yup, understand completely.

[DRD]

What do you do for the mandatory days off? Hang in the hotel and drink to excess??

 

[Bogger]

In pipeline & seismic there are no mandatory days off, no maximum daily hours either....AWESOME cash but from my experience the labor laws go out the window, I've done 62 days straight @ 12-16 hours pipeline surveying... young mans game, Larry's just an old fart who thinks he's a young buck...

[Bogger]

I hear ya.... I like my gig but if I was a young lad with no ties or experience I'd be all over this like tex on a chitty strap down or Many #'s on a spelling mistake

We never followed the labor laws, those were for unions & fab shops and we were bush monkeys...

I didn't know pipeline and seismic had exemptions? Where I work it's getting more enforced as time passes. HR just sent us this link for reference last year to cover their azz.

[Bogger]

No official "exemptions" we just ignored..... Larry confirmed that they do now keep it in line, my experiences were 17 years ago... I haven't set up a transit in over 15 years....
