    Russ. I appreciate your service having to go to a place like Iraq. That is no easy task, and to come back in one piece.

    I was asked by an employer , to go on the crews to put out and fix the oil wells. I turned them down because they wouldn't let us wear a bulletproof vest or carry a gun on the oil rigs. They did say we could wear a bright yellow safety vest.


    I couldn't even imagine being on the ground there. Thank you for your service, and anyone else on #5 who served.

    I charge $65/hr for people I know well. $75 for other locals. $85 for road call plus mileage.

    The going rate for established shops around here ranges from $95-$120.

    Watertown, SD at Stone's for the night. Not the worst place in the world. At least I worked almost a full day before being told "nothing till tomorrow".

    Now it's time to sit down and have a bite.

    So that’s like $30 bucks and a box of fish sticks right?

    @AModelCat I think $60/hr would be a good rate for an individual if you were diagnosing and fixing problems. You could piecemeal certain things that are redundant (tires, grease, etc), especially things you can knock out quickly and have set rates.

    Bunch of caterpillars pulled in just ahead of me for fuel.

    Couple 4-6-4-6 combos too. Lots of single tires (I thought they were duals) but they look like heavy duty wide base singles.
