Everyone tellin me i made a BIG mistake.
I quit a job payin 19.10 hr to go work on tugboats I hated the tugboat job so i quit and now on monday am going to start a new job haulin dry bulk. It pays by the ton/cpm. In 2 weeks at my other company i would work around 95 hrs. and make 1906.83 gross. Bring home 1300. Thats not even workin 50 hrs a week. To make that everyone is sayin am going to have to work 12-14hr days. So i think i am a retard. For all you newbies out there some times the grass aint greener. I used to think i had it bad. But once i got lookin around i didnt have it to bad after all.

Your story sounds like mine on the hours. I did nurse mine to the bitter end, but I got laid off. Now I'm making more money to work a lot more hours, and my hourly rate has gone down from $16.80 to about $15.50 for actual hours worked. Either way I'm still making less than you used to for hauling sh¡t. |

And how does that make you a retard ???? Mackman, you should give yourself a pat in the back for your career move, and a kick in the butt for wringing your hands and whining like an old woman. |

Mackman, try getting on with some of the barge companies that run the rivers and intercoastal waterways. Usually you get hired on as a deckhand or tankerman trainee. Most of the companies keep you out 30 days with 30 days off. Average starting yearly salary is $36-40,000. Not bad for only working half the year. Then as you gain more experience and move uo your pay increases. Pilots are making $80,000 and up. They also feed you. Typically you will work 12 hours on and 12 off or 6 on and 6 off.
