Information Discussion for Gate Guards

LOL....we got caught in a power struggle between 2 company men and found out this AM, the one here in Three Rivers won out, so we are not moving to the new construction gate in Pawnee Thursday. Anyone waiting that wants to work a construction gate with Pioneer, they will be putting someone in Pawnee this week. You will need a cell phone amp, as there is very poor reception at that gate.

We have also decided to stay here this summer and keep working. So hopefully they will give us another good gate in a month, when this one closes.

Well we had a new visitor to our gate yesterday. The biggest Wild Turkey I have ever seen.

OnStar uses regular cellular technogy. If you can't get a cell signal you won't get OnStar.

what about onstar?

Have you tried a Satellite Phone? We just bought two of them from Plesanton Sat dealer. IF you need more info PM me and I will give the phone number. Presently they are $100 per phone and 300 minutes a month for $9.95. Will work anywhere you have a clear sky. Will not get through a tin roof!!!

We will install an antenna and amplifier first and save the sat phone for a last resort. Thanks for the offer though.

Looks like we will be moving Wed to our new construction gate in Pawnee, which will open this gate up for someone short term. They say about another month to 6 weeks here, which will be a breeze, as the contractor has to be out next week or shortly there after. We will be building another gas plant, similar to what we are doing, from scratch again.....

Moving to the big city of Pawnee lol..by the time you get slowed down to 55, you are out of there! They do have a cafe, but I've never seen more than 2 vehicles there. Do you like the long-term gates? We like being with a rig and moving every month. Different scenery.

Yep, we have really enjoyed this long term gate and that is why we said yes when the Co Man asked us to go over there with him. We will be on FM 798 about 2 miles out of town, but there is no cell service there, as Betsy just went over this AM and checked out the site and cell service. Time to get on the phone with the 3G store and get an amp and antenna. We followed a rig last year and enjoyed that, but working construction 6 days, day shift is nice also.

we are taking a break for awhile and our relief came out today to check out our set up. We are w/ GGS and they are at the Corrizo Springs yard. They said they are the only ones left there. Last week there were 4 couples and the rest have all been deployed. They will bring their rig over Monday morning and we'll be out of here for a while for a much deserved break.Sounds like the waiting for a gate has not been too long from what I am hearing (at least for GGS).
