OH man that is an AWESOME VIEW!!! I have always been curious about barge life! I love being on the water it doesn't matter in what! You like doing what you do? Do you have to have a military background to get on with a company in that profession?
You on the Arkansas river canal in that pik?
I absolutely love it! 280 days on the water a year, we fish a couple times a week when stopped, monthly two week vacations, full benefits with pension. I'll retire doing this. My teacher said I would never make a living by looking out the window, guess I showed her!
No, several veterans out here, but most guys come out here with just a high school diploma or GED. I'm the odd one out having gone to college.
And we are in the Intercoastal Waterway in Louisiana headed to New Orleans, then onto Mobile and up the Tenn-Tom. That Arkansas river is a booger!
Great view. Can't imagine the number of batteries you'd need to put a trolling motor on it!
yeah, but just imagine the spider rig we could set up!Quote:

Very neat.
So hang a couple of rods off the back and pull crankbaits, Never know!!!
My older brothers were engineers on tie boats. My oldest brother died of a heart attack worker for hunter marine. The other worked for Jan Tran out of rosedale ms and ran the Arkansas and White rivers. They loved every minute
