    If you don't mind me asking what are you pulling in and how long are you staying out to make that?

    I don't mind at all; 3 weeks out and barely bringing home $900. Two weeks ago I had a whopping $460 check. Needless to say I am very disappointed with my decision to start with them.

    That is work that is not always guaranteed to be there. I personally wouldn't relocate my family on a whim like that. Regardless of HOW 2016 appears to shape.. lol just me.

    I hope you mean PER WEEK, not for three weeks total.

    No per week.
    I don't mean to #####, but with my wife and my current financial situation, $900/week really doesn't cut it.

    They always have issues with turnover. Speaking with a few friends who are still there, they have a new director of training, and he's made some changes in the training program pushing for more quantity over quality. Pushing guys through and giving trainers less say over the progression.
