Gate Guarding 5 Types of Gates-RVSWAT

[@GratefulOverlander]

You do such a better job at explaining all the jobs then anyone else does. I've learned a ton from your videos. Thank you

[@NoAcresHomestead]

Thank you so much for the kind words.

[@jeanetteywolfe]

I’m in a 12 hour Gaurd shack type as of today Thank y’all for this :)

[@DSherman50]

You two appear to work more jobs than any other Workampers I’m familiar with at present. I’m impressed that you appear to be undaunted in your pursuits and apparently take no time to adjust. I enjoy your great attitudes and informative content. Thank you.

[@TeamBorek]

Thank you for the information. Sean and I have just signed up with G1 and look forward to the experiences this winter.

[@ShortShortTrailer]

Interesting to know all the different types! Glad to see Johnny back up and "going"!

[@NoAcresHomestead]

He is glad to be working again and can't wait to get back to our normal routine.

[@ShortShortTrailer]

@@NoAcresHomestead Awesome!

[@marybourgeois5235]

VERYYYYYYY INFORMATIVE!!!!! Thank you so much......

[@promomm]

Good info, whenever we were gate guarding in years past, they really only had a 12 hour in a kiosk you drove to from a campground and the 24 hour gate where you stayed on site. Interesting changes.

[@GrassRootsLiving]

Finally, (thanks to your video), I have convinced my wife that this is something that we should look into for sure. We only knew about the 24 hour/7 day a week site. We are like you in that we want to work side by side. We don't have a pet so that won't be a problem. How much does the 12 hr. team shack pay compared to the 24 hr/7 day a week site? I heard the 24 hr. /7day a week site pays $175 a day. Do all the gate guarding companies do the 5 different types of gates? Lots of questions I know, but your videos are most helpful! Thanks!

[@GrassRootsLiving]

Also, what is the difference between a Frac and a Loadout site?

[@NoAcresHomestead]

12 hr team shack that we were on pays $220. Most companies have all types of gates

[@GrassRootsLiving]

What percent of the gates that are available to newbies are 12 hr. Team shacks? We are wondering if it is a very small percent, becuase most gates are 24/7 sites.

[@gregoryellis1143]

@@NoAcresHomestead Is the pay more because they don't pay for a campsite or hookup? If so, how far away is the campsite from the GATE?

[@scenicdriveways6708]

Good morning guys , Nice video , thanks for sharing. Looking forward to meeting you two somewhere in our travels. JT

[@NoAcresHomestead]

Thanks for watching! We look forward to meeting up as well.

[@TcOkie57]

Thanks fr sharing this video and the information you gave. Watching frm Oklahoma

[@NoAcresHomestead]

Thanks for watching!

[@teresaw6780]

Great video as we prepare to gate guard. Thanks

[@waltobringer2928]

Thanks guys!

[@ronhines9376]

Were do you park your Rv?

[@jeanetteywolfe]

I’m really liking my new job . I’m with timekeepers .

[@Outdoorstaycations]

Good information. Before gate guarding we also thought that we be at a 24/7 gate working from our RV. Not the case at all. We are on our 3rd assignment and each has been different than others have discussed.

[@NoAcresHomestead]

We just arrived to a frac site so we will see how this goes..lol

[@theprez7802]

We are host of a campground in North Carolina and have been wanting to do the gate guarding and this week on of our campers in the park are members of your group and have followed the information from you all and start in October this year. How do we get more information to get on board thanks

[@NoAcresHomestead]

Hey you can check out playlist on youtube for gate guarding, Here is the link.kzbin.info/www/bejne/aX3CoKOVnsh8fck . I would start with the video called step by step to becoming a gate guard, here is the link for that. There is also alot of info in the description of that video as well.kzbin.info/www/bejne/fZeniqmwmJyWhpo. If you need anything just let us know.

[@chrismathieu6650]

How much do they pay you and how long are the commitments?

[@backcountryboondockers]

Would love to do this. Preferably somewhere rural. Very rural. Currently camp hosting in a rural area

[@SandyRichardson-f8q]

The pay amount I heard you mention in another video, is that one pay for both people or each? Great videos!!😊

[@RVkidzTV]

Thanks for the helpful information. I've been talking to my husband about different workamping jobs. Thanks for sharing.

[@NoAcresHomestead]

We are so happy we can put our helpful videos. It seems difficult to find videos that discuss the jobs and how to go about getting them. Let us know if we can help more!! See y’all down the road!!

[@susananderson618]

By the way you both look GREAT!

[@NoAcresHomestead]

+Susan Anderson Thanks!!! We’re happy, and that really helps! 😁

[@robynjinkins8314]

Thanks for sharing this!

[@NomadicInNature]

Thanks for the great video on gate guarding! We started full-time rving in January and want to gate guard. Looking forward to following your channel. Liked and subscribed!!

[@NoAcresHomestead]

+Nomadic In Nature Thank you so much for subscribing! Keep us posted on your journey, and let us know of any specific info you are looking for. If we have that info, we will be happy to share it with you. Good luck with everything from here on out...the journey will be amazing!! 👍

[@NoAcresHomestead]

+Nomadic In Nature Thanks for joining us! We try to keep it interesting!

[@RyanW3112]

Now I'm a single father of 2 pre teens. Pretty reliable and mature. looking to work room the rv 12 hr shifts with a relief 12 hr shift . Where did you look to find the jobs available? I tried indeed but I didn't find anything.

[@roydavis2242]

Very informative. Be aware, when you figure out there are 2 of you working 12 hrs shifts 7 days a week, the money isn't all that great. They get around the laws the requiring overtime pay (time &1/2) for anything over a 40 hr week by hiring you as independent contractors. Yes, you get free camping, but just how much is that worth?

[@NoAcresHomestead]

Well for us we like the 24/7 because it ties our hands and keeps us from going out and spending money. You are right in saying that the pay is not great but not being able to spend it we actually save more money working here than we do when we work a good paying job.

[@jeanetteywolfe]

I’m thankful for the work. No job is perfect.

[@ONEFAITHofJESUS]

Thank you

[@solarsoltice9075]

The middle of the night encounters scared me as a watchman. Millions of dollars of equipment to protect. As a fire lookout. I would try to get them when they were small. Still. Scary people around.

[@donnaparker1928]

How many days a week do you work a 12-hour day?

[@therainbownugget4007]

If you are on a gate that is a 24hour rotating shifts at your RV, can you do it if you have kids living with you in the RV?

[@NoAcresHomestead]

most companies will not allow anyone under 18 on the sites.

[@carl2591]

how much is the pay for this type of 12 hr team gate vs like the RV at you hear so much about. thanks

[@NoAcresHomestead]

+Carl Newton Great question. This gate pays more than most RV gates. This particular gate was $220/day for the couple. Most RV gates run about $150-$175/Day for the couple. We actually have moved on to an RV gate. The extra pay isn’t worth it to us to be away from our four leggged baby for 12-13 hours a day. We like being in the comfort of our home better.

[@jdhall229]

Question. Was the 12 hour gate guard job a 7 day a week job?

[@billharris7057]

Nice video awesome info but can you chose 12hrs if so what company are you going thru?

[@NoAcresHomestead]

+Bill Harris Some companies do have 12-hour gates where you work from your RV, although there aren’t many of them. I’m not sure if the company we work for (J&G) has any. If you work in a shack, that is a 12-hour shift. All companies have some of these gates.

[@ranbec3237]

We are planning on gate guarding this year. Are there positions that are 12 hour, couples on same shift and you can park your rv on site?

[@NoAcresHomestead]

They do have 12 hour gates for RVs but they are rare. The best thing to do is let the company know that is the type of gate you are looking for and get on a wait list for one. But be ready because when they get one you will only have about 24 to 48 hours to arrive onsite.

[@sunnyday9088]

To see if gate guarding is for you, jump from you seat and run outside every 5 minutes or so. If you enjoy this, you will enjoy gate guarding.

[@Kenscialoia]

How much does it Pay ?

[@SteveTurtle]

Great topic! You two look happy. Glad to see you are on a gate. Hope it's working out for you. Be safe and watch for snakes. Is the guard company paying for your site? Jill says hi!

[@NoAcresHomestead]

+Steve Turtle Hey Steve. Sorry it took a while to respond. Frac sites are super busy!! Yes, they were paying for our site. We had full hookups and we’re about 14 miles from the shack. Snakes!! Uugh!! We will be on the lookout for sure!! HEY JILL!! WE MISS Y’ALL!!

[@honestyfaithful]

We just found your channel we are interested in gate guarding, but we are not sure how to go about finding gate guard companies? I have heard some companies are not so good to work for and others are great. Could you share the good ones and how to get in contact with them. Thanks hope to see you on the rd. We just subscribed to your channel..... j

[@NoAcresHomestead]

+We are free to roam Welcome to the team...so glad to have you join us!! We have a playlist about guarding, and one of the videos actually takes you step-by-step on the process of getting licensed. We don’t like to talk bad about any companies, but we can tell you who we like. We have been with 3 companies, and our favorite is by far J&G Security. The step-by-step video has info in the description for most of the Guard companies. We hope to see y’all down the road, and feel free to contact us if the playlist still leaves you with questions. The fastest way to hear back from us is by messaging us on our RV SWAT Facebook page. Tracy checks that several times daily! 👍

[@honestyfaithful]

RV S.W.A.T thanks so much for replying back, we watched several of your videos, they are GREAT. We will be starting to sign up for everything shortly, do you stay gate guarding in the winter as well?

[@danaedwards3761]

Are there any gate guarding for singles?

[@NoAcresHomestead]

they do have some singles gates, you would work a shack 12 hours shift.

[@susananderson618]

Is there any license or registration requires to be a gate guard? What is pre-employment like, drug test, physical, background check?

[@NoAcresHomestead]

+Susan Anderson License-Yes Drug test-yes Physical-no Background check-yes We are going to do a series on gate guarding, so hopefully we will be able to answer all the questions. It’s been hectic for the last few weeks, but we are finally getting back on track. Stay tuned...more videos with more info coming. Let us know if there are any other specifics you are wondering about. 👍

[@danaedwards3761]

What is the pay? Approximately

[@NoAcresHomestead]

anywhere from 150 to 300 per day depending on the gate.

[@caroldtrip703]

Hi. Guys : )) Just found you on my feed : )) My internet is no good right now. Hope it gets to y'all.

[@happydays0716]

do they offer these jobs for singles or only couples?

[@NoAcresHomestead]

There are some for singles, but not where you work from your RV. You have to be ok with working from a guard shack.

[@brianflowers2517]

can you do this job if you smoke?

[@NoAcresHomestead]

Yes. As long as you are physically able.

[@RoamingwithRover]

Thanks! #Roamingwithrover

[@MrJoe7784]

you cant bring your pup ?

[@NoAcresHomestead]

+Rainy Daze 24 Unfortunately no. Which is one of the reasons we want to be on an RV gate. We hate leaving him!! ☹️

[@solarsoltice9075]

I was a logging site watchman. Also a fire lookout. Very boring, followed by a few minutes of terror.

[@doitmanrv1084]

: )

[@sunnyday9088]

Please tell the horrible life of a gate guard. You have to live in an RV...usually with no way to do laundry or take a relaxing bath. The water tanks run out of water quickly, so you have to take quick showers or none at all. Also, depending on what gate you work, you may or may not get a lunch break or even a bathroom break. Also, if you break down the pay, you make less than a Mcdonald's starting employee. Which starts at $15 an hour. And even less than a Doordasher...which averages $20 an hour and is a much easier job. These people that are paid to promote Gate Guarding always say "Yeah, but we don't work all the time of our our shift". That doesn't matter. You are still captive in that small shack for however long you are paid for. They are not free to do what they want. And all for $13 an hour.
