Information Discussion for Gate Guards
Thought I'd start a new topic for Gate Guards to use for comments. Like the moderator suggested-keep technical stuff, recipes, mechanical, etc. where they belong. Lets hear from everyone sucking down ...

Not everyone gets the "snoozer" gates like Texan. We've been on gates where there were 30 pages of incoming traffic to the site per day and only paid the $125/day rate.
As far as pay for the work, I know of one couple that was offered by an oil company to work directly for them. They would be under a 2-year contract. The rate of pay was $450/day. They would have to provide their own equipment and insurance, but the oil company would provide the fuel and water. Yes, it would be a chunk of change to initially purchase the generator, water tank, sewer set up and hauling trailers, but you would quickly recoup the $$$ at that rate of pay. Do the math - $450 x 365 = $160,000+.
I'm looking at going direct as I've been approached by a company saw how we operate and wants us to come to work for them.
What I found was a good source to rent the equipment and the source will service it with water and fuel all at a very reasonable rate that would allow me to net $250+ per day.The name of the company is Coastal Technical Service, Scott Mapes, 361-205-3315. Tell him Dick & Nancy sent ya.
