I am looking into working overseas in the greenzone. Has anyone worked over there for a private contractor? It would be for a year and some hometime after 6 months. 12hr days 7 days a week. Any info would be great.

G'bye, Coop. Been nice knowin' ya.

BTW, how many truck drivers you suppose have been killed by RPGs in Wyoming. Sheesh. I realize some guys make a lot of money driving trucks in Iraq. Might just have to do with the significant number killed doing so.

Work is slow and don't think the wind deal will start up for months. Got to put food on the table somehow. I have another app in at the base but I'm not holding my breath.

#5 Sorry. I understand the job market is tough. I had to fill a position last year, got something like 12-15 resumes. This year, same position, got over 60 resumes.

Seems like so much danger lurks there, and you seem like a good guy. I'd hate to see something bad happen to you.

yeah come to think of it i haven't seen any turbine parts on the road for a month or 2...i imagine the weather has an effect on that.

Just an idea..why not try to shake some regular 18 wheel frieght until things pick up?

The FBI is hiring a bunch of new folks. I'm sure they could overlook that conviction for molesting a goat this one time.

Nobody is buying anything freight sucks looks like a alltime low. I didn't think wind towers would die off but they did we are not moving any towers. About 65 trailers at 500 to 700 grand each sitting aint good.

Mabey I'm just in a frump but I like to keep my eyes open all the time. Looking out for my ass!

Also there are a lot of other companys buying trailers to haul wind. When it starts moving there will be a price war.

... ain't nothing better than a bunch of rednecks wearing black suits and driving ATV's to work ...

Re: #1

... Coop ... contact me off-line ... I'll discuss some details with you in private ...

... DO NOT go through a hiring agency to take an overseas job like that ... they will take 25%-40% of what the contractor would have paid you otherwise ....

... tried to e-mail you - came back as "undeliverable" ...

... p6h6a6r6k6o6r6*a_t*c6o6m6c6a6s6t6d6o6t6n6e6t

... remove the 6's of just ask Hog or Bloody for my contact info ...

... and let me know next time you're up in the Northeast ... I'll show you how we take of coyotes and bobcats up here ... their own curiosity gets the best of them ...

- Jimmy

p.s. FYI - the grass is not always "greener" on the other side, nor is it as "green" in the "green zone" ...

- and I'll give you another BOTL's contact info that you can discuss with as well ... but I won't post that here ...
