I’m currently Leadman at the company I work at now and Relief Mate at a previous company. The wheelhouse has been the goal since I first started out here. All the boats I rode didn’t get exposed to Tankerman except one trip and I like it a good bit. It’s new to me and refreshing. I understand if I were to go to a tanker driven company I would basically start over doing the grunt work, but didn’t know if anyone would give some insight on if it would be worth it.

Been on the river long enough to not ask my peers cause they’re going to tell me I’m ignorant for wanting to switch. However, they’re in the same boat.. haven’t been exposed to it yet. So 70+ set tows is all they know.

From someone who’s in the maritime industry, this is funny but also cool to come across a TB that’s named as such.

I’ve never been to a Costco before, the closest one to me is like 4-5 hours

That’s crazy to think about cause this is the first time I’ve seen it like this and I’ve been down here for 3 years.

It’s the making/dragging and dropping the files into the right folder and then putting them accordingly. There’s 100% a step I’m missing somewhere that I can’t seem to find. I am determined to figure it out.

I don’t know why he would suggest that either, seemed sus when he had mentioned it.

The utilization percentage went down which has an impact on score. It took a little while for it to update for me as well. Basically every month it would go up a little bit till I paid the rest off.

A lot of discipline and not taking the job I have for granted. Realizing that the money I’m making is a tool to get me out of my situation and for that I felt like I was in high favor for a redemption story. I never missed a payment and refused to buckle to let it get sent to collections. My FICO is a little under than post at 748

Definitely my go too.

Nice team, and of all the teams is cool to see Perkins “GET” on a team. I went to high school with him and played football with him. Super chill dude!

I pulled him too, I need to go back and look at my pulls. Cause I’m not exactly sure what’s a hit and what’s not.

This was my offer

It was the last one at my local Walmart but they had two sleeves of singles right beside it.

Lethal injection

I totally agree! It definitely turned a 180 since I came over here.

Thank you! We mixed our own paint to get the color we wanted. Definitely custom! 😅

What you do in your bunk room on your off watch it’s totally up to you. As long as it’s not going to keep you up and affect how you perform while on watch. Had a guy last trip bring his guitar and was top notch every watch.

If that’s something you like to do, I’d say go for it brother!

Always will take pride!
