My avatar is a picture of a towboat that I used to operate, the M/V Arrowhead. 142 feet long, 35 feet wide and 4200 horsepower. Used to push 19500 tons of rock in 15 barges configured in a 105 feet wide by 1000 feet long tow. It was the boat I was on when I joined TNET. Never really thought about it but I guess in a way it represents a way of life for me as this industry is the only real job I have had as an adult, and the security that being involved in the same industry for 23 years has brought me. Today its a different company, different boat, same industry.
