TowRig.com - Diesel Discussion and Tow Tech

Title's self explanitory.

My full-time job is as a graphic & layout designer for a medium-sized regional newspaper.

I also own & run a web desgin, hosting and computer repair business that consumes almost all my spare time. Hopefuly soon, it will be my only income... it's just too early to feel comfortable leaving my day job.

I'm a computer geek, I do desktop support for a company that nobody has ever heard of, but hopefully will one day be a household name.:pimp:

I'm a Regional Manager for a large company based in the East. I have 8 people that report to me and I travel quite a bit for this company.

We supply all of the non structural components for both the interior and exterior of a Self Storage Building. Not very exciting but it pays the bills and then some.

I don't, I need a job. :o

Wow, all these fancy management/computer oriented jobs and here I am just a dumb 'ol farmer.rotfl I farm 365 Acres of rice with my dad, mechanic for his commercial trucking business/manage when he is out of the office, and am just starting to get into buying and selling used heavy equipment.

Construction Manager.

I am currently building the National Museum of the Marine Corps in Quantico, VA.

Here's a website for it (http://www.usmcmuseum.org/Store/MCHF/index.asp)

Dairy Farmer, I proably work my dodge harder than anyone here. Farming is tough on a truck I haul tractors,equipment, and hay with it all the time. I'd say when I am towing with it, 50% of the time its overloaded. :D

HVAC Service Technician doing mostly commercial work, currently looking for a new job in Roanoke, VA.

Nothing. Been out of work since last May for medical reasons i wont get into.

Although i do still go to school full time, i guess that counts.

Programmer for a company specializing in medical billing software for hospitals/dr's offices. Not real exciting, in fact it's pretty boring, but it does buy a lot of K5 parts. :D

Technical Support ~ I use to support network hardware when I worked at 3Com but now I support software at a payroll company. Mostly enduser support, error boxes and data issue. Someday I will quit and be a House Husband washing dishes and cooking dinner while my wife make all the money, hey it's her turn to be the bread winner:pimp:

Computer programming and architecture consultant. Currently under contract as architect and lead programmer for a large scale system automation project. Also under contract with IBM Speech Research (talking to your computer) until recently (budget cuts). Sometimes also teach advanced programming techniques and new technologies to experienced programmers (1 week classes). That's why I was in NY and Boston earlier this year.

I'm a mail processing equipment mechanic for the US Postal Service. I prefer to be involved with projects at work, automating machines, etc., than my regular work. I'm taking the test to become an electronics technician soon, because it pays a little more.

We have several, multi-million dollar machines in my building to process the mail, as well as computers, labelers, strapping machines, conveyors, etc.

We do only international mail in my facility.

Electrical Engineer, I design building and industrial power systems, controls, fire alarm, lighting, security, etc.

I'm a lunch lady, and yes I really do serve mashed potatoes with an ice cream scoop. It's not a huge paycheck but it's nice for a college kid, plus if you work 8 hours you get 2 free meals.:pimp: One meal for 4 hours.

During the summer at home, I work for a small freight brokerage that my neighbor started 2 years ago.

Nothing, but I need one... My excess funds ran out about a week ago from my last project. I'm highly skilled at everything, anyone hiring? :pimp:

Really though, I don't design the machines, I just design the power systems that feed it, and external controls for some types of machines. And yes, I know how E-stops should be wired in.

Control circuit is wired with telephone wire, flexible conduit everywhere (runs of 20'+) on the outside of equipment where it could be hit (needs to be IMC, and they ran flexible).

And I'd hope with that EE next to your name, you don't have to design individual control circuits. I can see you needing to design the panel--some of the panels for our machines are HUGE, with boatloads of wires for various PLCs, etc.

It's a mess. :rolleyes:

My pop is an ET in the altoona, PA branch of the post office. I forget what level he is, like 10 or 11. I know he rakes in the money by the double fistfull. He's been there about 15 years now.

If no one has guessed yet I am a gravedigger. I bury the dead. We have 3 cemeteries and a monument company. My wife and I work together and in addition to the gravedigging we also make headstones (she does the layout and cuts the stencil, I sandblast them), pour the foundations for the headstones, and set the stones.

And I'll tell ya something Mrbeer I think I could give your dodge a real beating here in the cemetery. I'm usually hauling 4-5 ton of dirt from the hole with out F350 dump. Figure20-30 ton of dust a year from the quarry, 40-50 ton of 2RC and 2B gravel for the roads, 18' trailer with backhoe. And shipments of granite ranging from 4k-7k lbs. And that's not even counting the flatbed monument truck we pour the foundations off of and set the stones with. waytogo

I never did respond to this post. I am a regional manager for physical security for a big computer company.

I'm a Safety Manager. My company contracts with other companies (mostly construction) to help them maintain the safety programs and to be OSHA compliant.

Aw schucks man. You're making me :cool:

The thing is, it helps companies fix stuff before they get busted for real. Also, the price of my contract is sometimes even lower than the cost savings on insurance for having us.

So, saves company $$$ and they get to fix stuff before being busted by OSHA. Win win for ALL :stir:

I repair Nuclear Powered Submarines in the US Navy :D

No I completely agree with you. So many times i have been the guy who no one likes because I actually try to work safely. Some of these contractors are just so darn cheap they would rather endanger employees than spend the extra time and money to do a job the right way.
Keep up the good work!!

I spent my first 12 working years in the typesetting/printing/graphics industry in NYC, the last 2 as Type Director at a large advertising agency. Left NY to persue happiness as a home improvement contractor (my customers were always happier than I was!). Worked as a residential framer, sider, roofer, trimmer, cabinet maker, painter and I forget all what-else. Was a commercial subcontractor for several years installing door packages, trim, and cabinets. Currently a superintendent for a company that builds really big boxes (retail warehousing), and run a contracting and tractorwork (digging, grading, mowing) business on the side.

Guess I'll update. I jumped on board a small commercial/residential electrical company. Basically I go out all day and do residential service calls fixing things around people's houses and do some commercial stuff when the commercial guys are too busy. Pays great but being in a hot attic when it's 105 outside is not the greatest... The company owners want me to take over the company when they retire but they want a longterm commitment and I'm not sure I want to commit to that but it's hard to say no to $$$

Oh yeah, you wouldn't believe how many people pay an electrican $60 an hour plus materials to come out and change a light bulb...

I still work as an electrician. I just received a $6 an hour raise on Saturday, got my own office, and basically became the highest paid electrician in the company after 6 months of working there, some guys have been there 5+ years :eek: . My boss also offered to start paying my personal gas (with a gas card) and pay for all the electrical items I need in the remodel of my new house (~$3000). Can I ask for anything else? :cool:

I'm a gynecologist. Some days I love my job, others I hate it. Just kidding. I really work as a salesman for a large family owned International truck dealership. We have three locations and I sell out of two of them. We sell mostly to logging and construction companies with the occasional over the road truck. We are big into bidding for municipalties needs. I was sales manager for Big Tex Trailers main plant in Mt. Pleasant, Tx for years until my in-laws health went south and the wife wanted to move back to La. to spend some time helping out. I shut down and sold out our ranch where we were running around 2000 head of commercial cattle. We do have our herd built back up to around 300 head now, so that helps to pay the bills from my playtoys such as my '64 Peterbilt, roping, or playing with our 4 F350's.

I'm new here so I guess this can be my introduction. I'm a civil and environmental engineer working with a consulting firm in east TN. I've got a 99 F350 that I love to drive. I ride motox and hangout with the wife in my spare time. That's about it!

I now live in Castle Rock Colorado and work for a company called A-1 Garage Door as a Service Technician. Pay is all right and I really enjoy it (worth more than money IMO) We service the whole Denver Metro area and I cover the South end of the area.

I'm the Senior Pastor of Jenison Bible Church in Hudsonville, MI. I bought my truck when I lived out in the country and pulled a trailer with horses and mules. Now that I've moved to MI from MO (and into the suberbs in the process) I don't need all that power anymore, but I still like it!! :D

BTW, my name has "1/2 ton hauler" under it, but that's not accurate. I drive a 3/4 ton. This is probably pretty obvious, but I can't find where to change it. Could someone point me in the right direction? Thanks.

I am a small business owner. I hand craft "bat wings" & "dragon wings".:eek: They are high quality costume accessories that I currently sell at various craft festivals around the country. I just bought the concept and equipment from a friend 2 years ago, and am working towards being able to produce enough to get them on the web:stir: , hopefully in the not too distant future.waytogo

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction. This post should make my name a little more accurate! waytogo

I work as a chief engineer onboard an ocean going tug boat. Travelling between New Jersey and Puerto Rico and sometimes Florida. Running 2- 3,600 horse, 20 cylinder, turbo charged EMD's for main engines and 2 Catapiller 3304 (turbo) for generators, a Blown Detroit 8v71 for the tow winch. We burn about anywhere from 7,000 to 8,000 thousand gallons of diesel a day, and normally carry 168,000 gallons fuel on board. The power is unbelievable. We tow a 730 foot triple deck barge, 100 foot beam, which in turn carries maybe 5-6 hundred autos and other various equipment, and about 600 full size trailers. These mains run constantly, about 650 hours a month, the Cats run 250 hours and are then serviced.
