<p>[QUOTE=&quot;stepanahalf, post: 2035800, member: 66622&quot;]So I made it through my second day.&nbsp; Started at 2 p.m. on Friday.&nbsp; Basically we took two empty &quot;airslide&quot; trailers, one silo hauler bobtail truck and a chase truck out to the rig site.&nbsp; We offloaded the first silo at the site.&nbsp; When empty the bobtail picked it up and we took it about 20 miles to another rig and then &quot;blew down&quot; offloaded all the cement from our two trucks.&nbsp; When finished we all drove back to the first site and unloaded the second silo and repeated this process.&nbsp;&nbsp; Basically we moved two cement filled silos from one rig site to another.&nbsp; It was less than an hour drive back to the yard.&nbsp; We rinsed off the trucks which are beginning to get quite full of cement dust.&nbsp; Then fueled up the trucks and we we were done about 3 a.m.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>This was a much shorter day but still a lot of standing around in the south texas heat.&nbsp; I think I am starting to get the idea of how to load/unload these trucks.&nbsp; They still got clogged but we were able to clear the blockages much more efficiently.</p><p><br /></p><p>Today my dispatcher said if I didn&#039;t have a load by 6 p.m. then they wouldn&#039;t dispatch me until Monday.&nbsp; I didn&#039;t get called today so I am getting the rest of the weekend off.</p><p><br /></p><p>Right now we are getting $925.00 per week salary.&nbsp; We get paid every friday.&nbsp; After six weeks we will have a different pay system but I still don&#039;t know what it is.&nbsp; The work should get more regular once we get this account established and have a larger pool of drivers.&nbsp; Right now there are only about 5 of us training.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
