Been at this job for just over a month, I like it and the pay is ok! (Scot Industries) I get 10 dollars per hour plus a little over 2 dollars an hour crome incentive. When I applied at this job I also applied at two other places, well one of them called and we set up an interview a few days ago. They hired me, its a maintence job refueling and lubeing heavy equipment. I felt like a kid in a candy store! The pay is 14 per hour, half the drive, the other is an hour drive! Told the boss today, and they said they like me to much to let me go and offered 15 per hour plus the crome incentive, I nearly sh!t myself! He said he wants me to run a couple of the grinders, but that is 6 days a week, 8 hours a day, and an hour drive both ways! Right now it is 12 hours a day, 3 to 4 days a week, the new job is 12 hours a day also, and I still farm for my dad! I milk at night and on my days off. Oh the problems in life! Thought I would share, i'm still in ahh!

you must be young feller , i once was,, can you keep that pace up at age 55, knowing you only got 10 yrs before retirement ? make it while you can, choose sumthin you like,, and that always don't mean sumthin , easy and comfortable ..
 
With the price of gas the extra 1.00 will be eaten up real fast, not to mention the wear on your transportation. Fueling equipment will be an outside job. I worked in a factory in the maint, dept most of my life. About the only time I saw the outside was going from one building to the other. You know what you have now, but you don't know what the new job will be. Stan
 
Tom, you've got a good problem. Kinda like having too much money (a subject I know nothing about).

A lot of heavy equipment operators got their start as an oiler for an existing equipment operator. When things were a little slow, the operator would teach the oiler how to run the machine. I knew a guy that started his own pipeline business after being an oiler for a big firm. Then his oiler/assistant started his own pipeline business as well. You need to look at where there's the best opportunity to advance and also the least chance of being laid off.
 
Crome incentive is just a little extra they give us, they take it away if you mess up bad enough, just for a day or week. And the new job is at clayton IA, a sand mine, yeah under ground. Imagine a d9 cat under ground, its a big hole. The current job we put crome plateing on shafts.
