Ive known a couple guys(2) that broke 100k in the late 90's or so. One of them on a 32m! Anyone else?

Did 60k in 6 months two years ago then quit because of safety issues.

I came pretty close in 99' on a 32/1200 dedatch. Mostly detatched! Lots a early starts and too many late nites  

yes more tan 4 ot 5 times in the Bay Area running big booms

Bay Area here too! 101 &103 but the hrs were gonna kill me

1993,was highest earned in company and broke $70k.DIA and the local economy was the biggest contributor.The hours really took it's toll.

 Plenty of times. when I first got in the trade it was a pretty common thing for most .  I  had not done it in a few but did it last year again. I know a few mixer drivers who even broke 90k last year

I'll never try that crap again, Cuts in to my "Catch'n & Kill'n" time too much! I Work to live not live to work. I let my "Hero" membership expire a while ago! lol. Besides it burns my A$$ to pay 10k in taxes!

115 last year and 107 the year before

You got it Ruck! 3&1/2 years ago I got smacked head-on by a drunk driver! He died and I did breifly. Broke 16 bones, Crunched both legs, pelvis, 2 vertibrae, left arm&collar bone. Crushed larynx was the worst! Traecheotomy (hole in neck) for 2 mos. wheelchair for 4 mos. Lost 1 vocal cord (half my voice) for ever. I was back on the payroll in 6 months outta stubordness. The drunk was on the clock for a pretty big insur. company. I dont do this for money. I could'a retired last year with the settlement I got. But I love this shit baby!  Got a whole new view on life, Just like your self! What amazes me is the respect I get from employers when they know you really dont NEED to be here, You like to.        Pump-On Ruck!

I love it to.Money can't buy everything.I'm glad to see you are getting along well. Ive been clean for three years now.You need to have fun before it ends.

Have fun and stay safe

Ruck, Usually when a friend tells me they been "clean" for some time its because of booze or dope. Bones heal, Stitchs come out, I could'nt fathom bein sick like that! I'll say a prayer for ya man. I may act ruff & tuff but when it comes to a brother bein down... Well there's just too few of us to not care about one another!!  Stay on your path Ruck, Its the path of the Rightgious Man     Pump-On,TT

SOCAL Works just as hard as any of us do. He earns every dime he makes just like any operator they have.  He will run anything on the lot whether it is a line pump with hundreds of feet of system, the old 23 meter, or his big bad ass 61. I respect the hell out of him. It has nothing to do with him being the Boss mans son. I got to spend a few weeks in San Diego With him and the Merli Crew. They all work harder than most of the people I have seen in this industry. Their equipment and there customers will vouch for that. He is first class just as well as Merli San Diego  is a first class outfit. If it was up to me i would still be driving one of their trucks down the road but the lord works in mysterious ways. Justin I got your back lol Hope all is well out there. I messaged you last week. Give me a call or shoot me an email. See ya

Ummm. No. I wish.

I made 52 in 6 months but that was a bitch the time away from my family and the wear and tear on your body it just wasnt worth it I will take my 70 a year to the bank and live happy and actually have a life besides pumping,you cant take it with you when youre gone life is short family is forever

I agree you Pudg

Ruck: Keep The Faith Man! It's been almost 20 years for me,and it was the BEST thing I've ever done. I've know how hard it can be to be clean and sober in this business, so here's my salute!!
