Don't pay attention to the Lead Dog, why, he's about 2 guys away from the axe on the layoff list, so he's quite bitter these days....... ;D

Welcome! Don't worry, we won't corrupt you immediately. It takes a while. Be sure to read the past threads. There is a lot of good info in them.

f**k 'em if they want my water. I have a 90 gallon tank, and it's MINE. Hehe. I'll show up a little dry and add maybe 20 at most. A few times I've had to wait for a pea gravel pump to long, and they used almost 70 gallons. I filled back up from a fire hydrant. When the pumper's crew wanted water from my tank, I depressurized the tank. =)

You're out of 25, huh? I'm out of 21. good luck out there, its really slow what I suggest is try working your way to LA county as much as possible everyday. If you happen to live near 25 I'd tell you to transfer b/c all the work is over at our plant since we're a source plant. Just food for thought. |

We do alright at 21. Last week I logged 50+ hours. This week is another story. A little slow. It comes and goes, but I average a 40 hour week usually.

I'm sure you'll hear this from a lot of us here and at the plant save money..save, save, save. save at least15-20% out of every check. Once winter comes with your senority chances are you wont make the line up. When it rains show up to the plant anyways. What truck do you drive? |
