    I had to readjust my head doing the mods, being paid by the day. 4 of the 5 drivers had a mindset of working as a team.

    2 of the 5 pilot cars had that mindset.

    I lost respect very quickly for the people that didn’t want to ‘get stuff done’ .

    The tank loads have detention and layover baked into the rate, but both Pat (64) and I get pretty itchy after 4-5 hours of watching employees jack around and waste our time.

    Not because we’re not being compensated, or have anywhere else to go - simply because being constrained by other people’s ineptitude is aggravating.

    Yeah - if they’re not going to pony up $3-400 for detention, I’d be looking elsewhere.

    man you could put together a welded pattern billet and give it a twist pattern if you're up to hammering out a knife or whatever .
