Dam

Had a guy tell me once he wanted 96, 16 ft long 2x6s and 15 sheets of 1/2" cxd plywood. I asked how many trips he wanted to make- he said one..and I'm gonna stand in the door on the 4th of July , eat an ice cream and watch you load it. It was 3 days before he came back to get the last 7 sheets of plywood, seems a 1/2 ton pick-up won't haul that much, something about broken springs. I love good customers. Coal companies can be the worst... they always want something done while the mine is idle, weekends , holidays or vacation.

I hate when we work all week long.. and my dad works usually 7:30-6 every single day.. and 8-1 on Saturday.. and on Thursday evening our big companies call and have work for Friday evening.. or they wait til Friday evening and call and want it back Saturday.. sometimes.. I want to scream, slam a few phones, hit something, and shoot something haha

I also hate the [censored] who want [censored] done on Christmas Eve/Christmas Day, Thanksgiving, or any other holiday.. like we don't have a [censored] life.. God.. I hate some [censored] bastards</div></div>

where is this at?

Radiator Shop..


Spuds nailed it on the head.. Coal Mines want EVERYTHING done when the mine is idle.. or the bosses are the only ones allowed to take vacations, all other vendors and such don't do this.. gah.. haha.. it's all good business though.. and my dad loves it.. but i'm 23 and young.. it kills me

I know all about how those Coal Mines are. I get to come up to the Warehouse every Saturday and Sunday bc they are ALWAYS needing something. Who in the hell needs a scoop motor at 2am on a Saturday night????

The guy that is trying to change the head on the miner...who got a bad oil sample from Carter. Got to fix the scoop to have something to handle the miner head with. 1st year I worked at Arch I got 5 Sats off- Memorial Day, 4th of July, Labor Day, Thanks Giving and Christmas weekends. We get 1 or 2 a month now. Used to save all my vacation days when the kid was playing football and I worked midnights, took them on Friday nights in the fall.

You work for Arch coal huh? We send quiet a few parts to you guys

I swear it ain't me at 2 on Sat. [img]/LDPforum/ubbthreads/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/grin.gif[/img] Yep, but I'm at the Belt Corridor now so I don't see as many parts as I used to. All we have is beltline, no miner sections.

Well do me a favor and talk to the fella in charge of getting parts from Sandvik and ask him if he needs parts on the weekends, to do it a lil bit earlier lol ..nah Im just joking, I actually dont mind getting paged at all on the weekends, I get 4 hours of OT pay for about 45 mins of my time so I cant really complain.

To tell the truth we get chewed out over the "hotshot" runs. We are supposed to limit them as much as possible. I'm in Pardee, by the way. The problem is the Ky group running the Blueridge Whse. [img]/LDPforum/ubbthreads/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/grin.gif[/img]
