here we go

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...

not uncommon 300 plus hrs a month, went 7months without a day off years ago. don't do it now, usually 21 days and 5 or so off. depends on the job, on the money and whom I'm workng for and with. I'm there to make cash not party time. lol, indicated they wanted to go till end of march. they are hoping for 6km per day on there end.

 

[imdoo'n]

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

so you going to plant your azz in a hotel room and make squat or you going to work and make money? sounds like you wouldn't fit in don, ian has the right idea.

this is not for everyone, you need to go in with a goal, work till end of march, break up, then take time off. as much as you want. you should have some $$$, built up. buy new Polaris, have some fun, sit by a pool, lots of guys travel all over the world. not as if this is a really tough job tying ribbon on a branch every 100 ft or so.

 

[imdoo'n]

kind of funny though, jobs seem to be drying up rapidly, guess couch surfing must be good, some guys just haven't got hungry enough yet, see a few already saying they need to sell there chit lol. , surprised they haven't jumped all over this. lol.

I absolutely wouldn't fit in, I kinda like fixing compressors vs walking through the snow. Rather work than sit in a hotel room but we have to follow the Ab rules and coupled with us having to follow the Federal Commercial Drivers hours of service , azz time in a hotel unavoidable, but we get guaranteed 8hrs if away from home.

 

[Joholio]

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 .

Quarters, dimes or nickels??

Yeah, I long for the patch of 1990. Being stifled by retarded safety policy and getting grouped with the lowest common denominator of intelligence is getting old. The companies have brought it in against themselves though.
