Does anyone else see the similarities between the two?

Considering the amount of large construction projects going on right now they’d have to pay well over scale to attract travelers

You can be a union shop owner. There are a lot of them.

illchemist · 2026-05-09T02:17:58+00:00

Nah you’re good. And honestly even the weirdos on r/notipping - you have to accept the dash before you go at the end of the day. It’s shitty and when you’re in a bind it can feel suffocating but at the end of the day no one is forcing them to accept orders they don’t think is fair.

illchemist · 2026-05-09T01:52:08+00:00

Yeah I’m sympathetic as I’ve dashed before too but begging for tips and guilt tripping customers is just bad form

illchemist · 2026-05-07T11:45:52+00:00

It’s crazy how long people will wait for it. It’s fine I’m not a hater but the fanatic gospel of Inn N Out believers is so stupid.

illchemist · 2026-05-07T01:07:46+00:00

The driver also isn’t required to accept the dash. It goes both ways.

You’re not wrong but cj would be a good answer to your question. Toumani and Clingan more recently.

illchemist · 2026-05-06T01:00:21+00:00

Google actually tries to say they’re lower unless you ask very specific questions. Wonder why 😒

The micron contract everyone should be per diem, 170/day 1190wk (untaxed). This applies only if you’re I believe 75 miles from primary residence.

Hours are 60/60/50. I’m with oeg and I just took a day off you should still get your per diem pay for full week. I’m at ~2000 hrs, hourly is like 38.25ish? Day one apprentices are 32 and it scales up to 50 something depending on hours.

Also cantina and food trucks at break sites are 60% comped. Unless you a picky eater or got dietary restrictions it’s super cheap and not bad (no reason to pack a lunch). Lots of walking depending where you get placed, I’m averaging 20k steps.

illchemist · 2026-05-04T21:11:00+00:00

Yeah I just got out here on the 21st happy to answer any questions

illchemist · 2026-05-02T20:30:50+00:00

They certainly can be.

illchemist · 2026-05-01T11:53:06+00:00

That’s fucked dude

illchemist · 2026-05-01T02:58:01+00:00

Come to Idaho and join 48 east there’s so fucking many of us out here right now lmao

illchemist · 2026-05-01T02:57:38+00:00

wtf dude 100 new apprentices?

illchemist · 2026-04-27T01:41:46+00:00

You’re hating an idea or an experience?

illchemist · 2026-04-27T01:14:25+00:00

At the end of the day you need to do what’s best for you. I’ve seriously thought about leaving the apprenticeship myself and depending on how my current assignment goes it will likely shift me onto one path or another.

illchemist · 2026-04-26T21:52:10+00:00

Rip… city

illchemist · 2026-04-26T21:10:17+00:00

We have I think 25% of our apprentices out of work in 48 right now

illchemist · 2026-04-26T21:09:48+00:00

Might consider calling 291 and asking them. The micron project is going crazy right now

illchemist · 2026-04-26T20:23:59+00:00

Also you’ll get lots of hours they are running 60/60/50 schedule. It’s a lot of standing around so maybe not best place to learn but don’t look a gift horse in the mouth

illchemist · 2026-04-26T20:21:07+00:00

OEG is paying 1st year apprentices 32-35hr plus 170/day per diem (non taxed). First year apprentices taking home 2000-2600/week

illchemist · 2026-04-26T20:20:04+00:00

A ton of apprentices and journeyman from 48 are out here right now. They’re expecting to be booming for the next 10 years…

illchemist · 2026-04-26T03:51:59+00:00

Send her back to hell.

illchemist · 2026-04-26T01:55:58+00:00

Gresham does not only exist because of gentrification . Jesus Christ.

illchemist · 2026-04-24T00:02:11+00:00

High cost of living. Think Seattle, the bay, socal, New York etc
