You got a great attitude. 👍 keep grinding and working hard.
Keep up the good work big dog. You’re a humble individual that’s what’s up.👨🏭Salute from California
Appreciate that 🤟🏼
What part are you from, maybe you can teach me something!
This man spitting straight fuckin facts for y’all boys. Love it. Rico be rippin them welds out baby. Work comes in and out but the quality of the work never changes
Thanks for the positive word, been on the road welding for 20yrs...been down in the dumps after taking a pay cut to be home...definitely a strange transition. Got me thinking about building my own rig to make up the difference and freedom.
I love rig welding it’s feels good to work out your truck I recommend it
Your input is very much appreciated stay uploading videos
Thank you, I will🙏🏼
Hey man, I feel your stress. I've been there. You have a great list of positive workmanship traits. I hope the sun shines bright on your area enough to contradict the bad weather. May you continue to work hard and put enough sweat and investments with every opportunity you recive. Stay blessed my friend.
Thanks brother 🙏🏼

100% Agree with you Family First
I understand bro moving from state to state is hard on loved ones but that rig welders gotta moving state to state
Hey brother, I’m about to graduate welding school, and my goal is to be in Texas. Starting off will I have to be a helper? (I don’t have a welding rig)
Damn I don’t know if I wanna be a rig welder man
👍
I’ve been at your job site before we have equipment there I’m a diesel mechanic and work on the forklifts and manlifts
Hey brother I’m in Houston as well and I have no experience in the field and really interested what do you recome y to get in the field. No connections either. I’ve been looking into union but I wanna hear other options. Thanks in advance
Find a shop that will hire you as a helper/ shop cleaner and learn to run a bead. Go from there one step at a time
Yessir that’s a very good start I know a lot of welder who became helpers first
Your other option will be to go to school if you have the time and money
I just subscribe because I started welding school 3 weeks ago at Tulsa in Jacksonville. Do you have any advice for me about getting a good welding job?
You need that window tint lol
lol yeah man i ben trying to do that for that past month and still havent got a chance lol
Lol im from Wisconsin. Madison Wisconsin.
I did a 2 week job up there it’s gets to cold for me lol
Center street that’s in deer park right?
yessir
I’m happy I left Houston and work in Boston in the union doing concrete more money and more relax lol
You pour concrete???
YOU CANT PAY ME TO NOT WELD! I DONT CLEAN AND SWEEP! ILL DRAG YOU UP AND START MAKING CALLS! GOOD ON YOU FOR SAYING THAT! STAY LATE TO IS FACTS! HOUR EARLY HOUR LATE
Do u need a helper boss man?
Should I go to welding school or not? I'm feeling frustrated
Nah buy yourself a welding machine a learn by yourself and get a welding job and get experience no dept and make money
Just find a Mexican contractor and ask if he needs a helper you will learn way better that way
@@uri_6894 how can you learn by yourself ? That’ll take longer and someone has to see your roots fills gotta know what welding defects too
@@patriotskingnation8084 you got CZcams bro this big name welding schools just want your money
@@patriotskingnation8084 and like I said get a welding job yeah pay won’t be the same but u will learn
What's up with fitters and welders
Meaning I thought when you run a rig you are the fitter and the welder
I'm accustomed to working to where it's set up
fitters and welders,
(fitters just fit and welders just weld )
But I'm not so familiar with rig welding and being self employed
I was always under the impression that you could not be a rig welder without being a fitter also , being a must you fit and weld
Good vids dude
In my experience I like welding but I hate all the politics that come with it ,
When you work in refinery’s and chemical plants you get hired just to weld that’s it if there is nothing to weld you sit in your truck
But when you work in pipeline like building compressor stations you weld and fit
I think chemical plants only want you to weld for safety reason
What's up big dawg. I saw they were hiring on indeed if you have a passport structural 30-40 and 140 per diem. 3 months
thats good for indeed, what company is that? most of the jobs I've seen on there are closer to 20 an hour with under 100 per diem
@@scotterose I forgot the name of the company I was just applying and saw it but I don't have my passport
@@MrFonsex Dang what state is it in? I recently joined the Ironworkers union in late April but the pay sucks. Looking for something else already.
Where at boss man?
@@53KO I'm not sure guys I saw it on indeed yesterday but I don't have a passport so I just skipped it. All you guys have to do is go to indeed and search for welder jobs. Don't know where the job is it didn't say has pay and per diem on it good luck whoever wants it should've been on it the second they saw the first post whoevers hungry did hit it up already for sure
I'm the same way...u want me to sweep or clean....I'm draggin that bitch lol
👍🏽👍🏽🤙🏽🤙🏽👍🏽👍🏽🤙🏽💯
U said if its not welding u aint gona do it man u crazy as a welder u need to do everything ain't nobody ever too good to not clean up
Stfu you missed the point
ThTs just welder code ..is different for every type of welding for example if you work in pipe shops, shipyards yo ass better bet that broom and look busy lol when you get into welding for chemical plants or rig welding the welder code is different you don’t wanna be that welder ..for example the equivalent of “teachers pet” or be that guy reminding the teach she didn’t pick up homework catch my drift ...I learned a lot of dos and don’ts from older welders
@@TheWeldLab i am a rig welder bro am im telling u from experience the one that helps pick up skids an clean up will be on the job longer than the one that is just in the truck
Ohh yeah I’m all for doing my job if I’m welding somewhere I clean up after myself pick up my rods and stuff..or if we short handed I’ll def help out ..it’s more of them trying to get me to sweep just cause they don’t want to see the welders cabbed up ..they have some supervisor that be hating lol
@@TheWeldLab agree 100% it’s called busy work. A bunch of people will agree once you’re a journeyman that has proved themselves you shouldn’t have to be doing all that busy work when work is slow, get the helpers to do that I remember I did it as a helper. sweeping and picking up trash not even in my work area but I was green
Yo u need to work Union. The union will hv ur back. Those companies don't care bout you.
To get on as a rig welder for union is almost impossible
Why always with a sad face :(
