My job title is a steamer...I work for Mountain Valley Explosive steaming their trucks, I like it i started tuesday and I have to go today for my drug test which i will pass with flying colors.....But I figured I would share my info...they started me out at 7 bucks an hour part time cause im still going to school, and in the summer they r going to put me on full time and gimme a raise....

Yea, I order my explosives there too CTD. They have some great prices on that Acme TNT from all the cartoons. lol :mrgreen:

[crazytaxidriver]

Hahahah. yeah. but i was being serious.. they deliver the primer caps, anfo, det cord, primacord, and anything else we need lol

[thetribe]

i was just playing CTD :mrgreen: you know, im always making jokes

my cousin used to cover the holes on the strip jobs where they put the dynamite to blow out the rocks and stuff, i thought that was kind of cool to see
they did that alot when they were clearing those mountains to make room for East Ridge too

where do you work CTD?

[crazytaxidriver]

I work for appalachian fuels... Who is your cousin?

[football05]

Yeap, thats where I work, I only wash the trucks right now...Today Conley Wrecker Service brought in a truck that had been on a strip mine for 3 years and the job finally closed, well the mud was about 4 or 5 inches thick all over it and it took me about 2 hours to wash that truck so the mechanics can work on it and service it tomorrow......But my job is fun, but wet, and I am thinking they will ask me to go on the hill this summer and be a shooter helper....I am hoping.....
