The line on the jobsite.... About 15 trucks in line for 2 days to unload. What a joke..........

Cooper

Do you only get paid for the miles? 2 day is BS! I know fuel prices are already killing truckers, but waiting in line sucks.

That's a trip . . .

Cool Photo . . .

Cooper, where you pulling those towers from?

I have seen these move through Marinette, WI at night.

Hey Grm are the windmills out your way Gamesa built? they just opened a plant in my neck of the woods Pennsylvania and a few of my friends are working for them. The pretty much stop traffic when they roll through town.

These towers are made by Trinity in Clinton IL for GE wind. The unload site is in Lincoln KS. (35mi west of Salina KS)

Cooper

it sure looks like a hell of an undertaking, its amazing how big they are.

Cooper, do you ever pull ut of Bergan SW - Canutillo, TX?

Looks like I will be pulling out of Colman TX when I'm done here. Why?

Cooper

They make a bunch of these in Canutillo close to El Paso. That where I be.

So much for 15 trucks in line now it is closer to 45!!!

Cooper

This site is a GE site. Ran by a comp called Morenson

I would love to go postel on them right about now.

Cooper

So I'm a little confused as to how this works gm...

You've been stuck there for 15 days, right?

Where the hell do you grab food? Do they have a cafeteria on site? Are you paid anything for your downtime? I'd assume that there is some sort of contractual obligation where they have to cough up cash for your lost opportunity....

I got unloaded after i sat for 6 days.... Now this is another piece i have brought here. I got here on Wed and here i sit... GE is paying the down time here. I get a daily pay and a room when my truck is on site. I cant unhook the truck when a tower like this one is on...

Cooper

Well, at least you get paid for your time, and a place to stay off the truck.

Hell, I thought you were stuck sleeping in your truck the whole time. I was really starting to feel sorry for you. 🙂

Looks like you should strap a dirt-bike to the back of your truck and spend your days riding around in the dunes.

^^^^^^I wish!!!!!

Cooper

I just emailed Pablo; letting him know that there were dozens of truckers stuck out there.

He said he'd be there as soon as finished putting on his lipstick.
