You want to bring your pump to the states to work or you want to move for a few months and work on someone else's pump?

slow buddy...I had a nice job at marche jean talon, everyday for 5 weeks. Saved my winter. Hopefully once this cold weather is over work will restart...this commission bullshit and the elections are just making it worse.

Gboon: 400 hundred miles more and i got to keep in mind that my wife and kids would better like staying at the beach than eating the biggest steak ever made.lolIf the pay worth it i ll go.

Working down south is a thing but i have to pay my house in Canada and the Camping,the trip gas so i need to find how much an op get paid to see if it s worth it.

not sure what the pay is down here, all i know is, that there is plenty of work, maybe some Houston area pumpers can pitch in to give you numbers??  the beach is close by and plenty big Steaks available

I met a guy last week at the Putz factory from Tampa. ..that's right where you want to go. But I'm not 100% if it's worth your time or his going only for a few months. He was planning on buying his 3rd pump but I think he was looking for a permanent guy.

All of us here, that's our dream work here in the summer and go south in the winter, it would be great if it would be easy but I think it's a little out of our reach.

Didn't Big Johnson fold I see one of his pumps a few years ago and what a pile of junk and it was for sale in Jacksonville, thats a good place to go if youre retired,next winter if it starts out like this last winter you can fine in on the St Johns River in and RV Park.

I'm in southwest louisiana and we are super busy. I came from west palm beach, fl it's nice but the traffic is horrible. The pay over here is great and the hours are endless. Houston and Dallas are also booming
