Hey "T" you forgot to mention weather conditions.Winter decks ice up and rain they slick up. You are right the money is great and benefits are great too. I really enjoyrd this video I subscribed so stay safe brother.

[@LifeWithTheodore]

You’re right I did. But I’m on the lower we don’t usually deal with bad winters and stuff like that but it is a good point to mention. Thanks watching brother. Stay safe

I am interested in this field. My father did it when I was a youngster. I'm working on getting my twic card right now. I seen Ingram and thought of applying but it's a company here in Memphis where i am called Southern Devall, I'm going to go through them but I'll keep Ingram on my option list just in case. But I'm definitely looking forward to it

[@LifeWithTheodore]

ingram is a great company and im sure southern devall is too. main thing is youre getting in the industry. its a great industry to be in

Artco is a good company I hear. Are you new to the industry?

I'm thinking about getting back out there man. I worked at kirby for a year then went on to truck driving.. I would much rather be back on the boat

[@LifeWithTheodore]

@immortal come on back out brother. Where did you work out of?

Hey man, how does the pay work hourly wise? Is anything over 40 hours overtime? Do you get paid weekly or what? & do you get paid for time off? Thanks!

[@LifeWithTheodore]

With most companies you get paid by the day. Normally overtime (tripping) doesn’t start until you work your normal scheduled days. The company I work for we get paid biweekly. Also most companies I think have to where you do get a check on your off time.

[@Marloncatfishing]

Question. If i wanted to do back to back trips would the company let me?

[@LifeWithTheodore]

You’re wanting to trip over. They would let you if they have a boat for you to ride on.

[@supreme.deevlogs1949]
