got mine today also 47 schwing. i dont know who you are s tube but i cant complain. mine is an older unit but i just consider it to be broke in. plus with you could have gotten the alternative, a pink slip and a trip to the unemployment line. so show some gratitude to have a job. there are alot of our fellow operators who would gladly take your spot. alot of us have been on pins and needles for the past week or so wondering weather or not we were going to have a job. so since you have nothing on your profile and im going to assume your not from atlanta like bri,jspumper and myself.

RAM03 if I recall in my post I DID state I was happy to have a job so please try and refrain from the hostilities.

I do feel bad for everyone that has lost jobs as work here has not been stellar 15-20 hrs/wk and with the take over we are looking at maybe not being employed for much longer.

Hay s-tube you realise you have a job, that 47m is you're bread and butter. You can take ither the high road or the low road and realise the Co. that once dominated you're area is no more. If I were you I would be greatfull I had food on the table and work my A?? Off and earn a better truck from a Co. new in the area.You just got one of the 10 in you're market its a little premature to judge so negatively so earley. Keep you're head up things will get better with the wright attitude. Good luck!!

 Did you notice the post directly below this one???.....

 You could be driving a mixer instead of the not so flashy pump? Squeeky Squirell is right and when you think about how many pumps got moved in a pretty short period of time you cant complain?  

 Enjoy it! Going from a big boom to a smaller, older pump is like a vacation of sorts. Look at it as easier money?

why is everyone getting on s-tube? he's just making an observation. i've worked for that company, they have 10 million pumps. you can't expect them all to be clean. i can't wait for those punks to try to come back to houston and take over while my company hands them their asses! bring it!

First thanks to big R (To Tall)for his keen insight. And know one is getting on s tube they are just pointing out you can't just post one sided remarks with out a honest rebut in contrary or at least another perspective from one that may now otherwise.

As I said in the first post I made and the second post I made

I AM HAPPY TO HAVE A JOB.

I didn't come here to get bashed or start a war on the interweb I just made a comment on the shape of the machines that were delivered to our branch and all the sudden I am an idiot.

I put in over 10 yrs in with the other company and now it's gone. 

Again I feel bad for all the operators who have lost jobs and I AM HAPPY TO HAVE A JOB.

S-Tube your comment was kind of like telling your wife she looks fat. If you dont think your going to get fall out for doing that publicly then you have to be one hose short.

If that Orange Boom looks like @#%$ I can tell what BB yard it isn't from.
