Working "Travelers"

[cdrifter]

Any Nuclear or Refinery "Travelers" out there? I've been working the"curcuit" for years and always looking to meet other travelers to talk work opps. and "outage" and "turn-around" schedules. Compare "war" stories...

Just Asking??

Grew up traveling in a TT. Father was a steamfitter thru a Union. Longest in one place was 5 months, shortest was 2 weeks from the age of 10-17. That was so many years ago....

Man this is a great topic, wish there where more folks that would pipe in. I am I treated in hearing about jobs one can do while living out of an rv or tt, work at your own pace and own choice of place would be amazing. I love hearing these stories when I meet folks on the road.

I have found a theme that there are a lot of i.t. Or tec workers doing this, some trade jobs, the possibilities are endless.

Here's my story if anyone cares. I have a steady full time job that allows me to take large chances of comp and vacation time and/or long weekends which I use to fuel my obsessions, kayaking and fly fishing. To sport those toys and travel expenses, I work as a factory rep, and on site equipment sales. Yah, it's fun, but it's a break even proposition, I'm happy as a clam if my travel expenses to killer places are covered during the season, but I do it to travel with the family and play. See you all on the road

Nope, not a traveler. However I worked for a company once upon a time that built the primary cooling pumps for a lot of those reactors. Does that count?

I am considering working the next wheat harvest, up to the Canadian border.
