Looks like them ol slip on Georgia boots❤
That was the worst wire laying I've ever seen and I've seen some bad tow building holy crap I'm surprised them barges stay togeather
“Back in my day we broke and built tow 700 times in a watch and we were paid 3 nickels a day” iykyk.
Yeah we doing that now with scf barges with no rigging or deck fittings on them🤦🏾♂️😂
Would that happen to be shannon Arnold on that barge lol if it is this is david watching ur crazy ass kend folk lol
Ive been on two boats in a month. First boat was cool had a damn good crew but my lead deckhand was only 5 months in, there was an extra man in the wheelhouse being pilot trained so the actual pilot would come down on tow to show us when we couldnt figure something out. Second boat i got on was constantly bitching at me for being to fast dor the old man i was working with. Needless to say i just got off that boat today and am getting sent to the fleet where i belong. Im glad the captain noticed i wasnt wrong about what i was doing, i just did shit the way i was taught on my first boat.
Respect to you bruh‼️ Being too fast? Thats crazy😂
You’ll learn more in the fleet. The lineboat guys talk sht about fleet guys all the time. But truth is the fleet guys can work circles around the lineboat guys any day of the week. Lineboat guys try to figure out which watch will catch the next tow work that’s 3 days away. Fleet guys know there will be tow work every day.
That shit is grown man work. Not all barges have winches and still gotta double up sometimes. Hard work foreal
Facts I’m on a turn boat as we speak 😢
Damn my man this video still up lmao😂 dude this shit was years ago , im on 175 now in darrow can't believe this video still on UA-cam and with the haters not surprised 😂
Always someone begging for cigarettes 😂
😂😂
I don't smoke cigarettes drink coffee smoke crack or meth and I'm about to get into this business😂
Lmao cods was not for another week and they messed up my order
Sounded like he said sell
Tug life or no life
Geez I'm knocking on 5 yrs on the river and this damn video still here 😅 if only we could shoot that now I will make it easy and simple , but hey my man look at the views we've got
You have to love them assholed wires. I believe that is the product of a shoreside personal that has never had to work with the equipment installed. The problem is with what’s known as the D/d ratio. The diameter of the wire being too large for the small drum diameter. Basically the wire is bent to sharply around the drum. Once it’s placed under a load the compresses on the drum side and stretches on the outside. This permanently distorts the wire into a continuous pile of assholes. I believe the lowest recommended D/d ratio for pulling wire is 15 to 1 and 19 to 1 for lifting wires
It happens with boat rigging and stationary wires as well. I think it has alot to do with all the different ways the wires are laid.
Is that bucksnot? Tell him that ole boy isn’t banging his wife anymore He’s done and I guess she stopped too when they got caught screwing while you are towboating lol The best, absolutely the best news
FUNNY WATCHING THESE 3 GUYS. DO THEY KNOW WHAT THE HELL IS UP ?
Yo bro if I wanted to get into tug boating with 0 off land experience never been on a boat kinda scared of the water lol and the dangers but I’m old country fucker and used to work on a ranch u think I should go for it. Is it good money and worth it and how hard is the work ?
Depends on the company but most pay pretty well after a while. It can be dangerous but if you use your head you’ll be alright I’ve worked out here for a year now it’s been awesome
Great content 👌
Man we got rite at 3k views that's alsome
Our company so strict on recording especially on the barges
I really miss working out there on the Mississippi and Illinois River.

@@joseph_clavier_225 I work fleets bub busiest fleet in my company matter fact
Getting out of the army here soon and headed up to Louisville looking to work on the barges. Anything pointers or advice you can give brother?
Work hard keep your goals in mind and don't ever take no shit from a green hand
Keep the cook and engineer on your good side lol...trust me!
@@towboatlife6540 what do you mean by green hand?
@@unitedbushaman6900 a new deckhand usually a first trip guy that comes in thinkin he knows everything right out of training
hey man i’m supposed to be starting soon with ingram but i’m kinda scared about the dangers of being out there on the waters. any tips ?
Be ready to work and learn better hope you get on with a Good crew they got plenty of safety rules I've heard and for good reason
I got on with ADM/ARTCO. I hope this kid asking for advice had a good mate or lead deckhand to give ‘‘em some courage.
RUN FOR YOUR LIFE!!
The reason why a lot of mates do not take interest in teach new hands what they need to know, is they have watch so many new hires come and go, they get burnt out. The turnover rate is so great it makes them feel like they are wasting their time. But I bet if you were to go to your mate and ask for him to show you whatever it is that you need help with. He would notice that you genuinely want to learn and he would help you.
^^It make new guys feel like they wasting time as well when you got a mate that sit there and point and give orders🤷🏽♂️🤷🏽♂️
I'm famous LMAO 😆
He sho appreciated the smokes
Is that you Justin👀
