Hey man wtf, all the tugboats have everything you need except for a bathtub!!😮
My first boat was with Tolen Marine out of Lone Oak Kentucky in 1993. My last boat was with AEP in 2008 out of Cape Girardeau Missouri. Anyone else ever ride with Reed Brunker
Thank You Captain
This captain barged into the deckhand's cabin with a cameraman without knocking first. No respect. I was a deckhand on a tug once and did a good job for the company, but the crazy sadistic captain made life miserable for all of us. I quit when I was accepted to the police academy. Guess who I stopped for DUI a year later? Turned out to be his second offense. The owners insurance refused to cover him and he lost his captain's license. Be careful how you treat your crew 😂
If you were to fall in on the head of a tow, you’d get pushed all the way down the entire tow and chopped up by those big ass rotor blades.
I feel corey got wrote up
Do deckhands get a private room?
Dude, do you understand that when you turn your heard away from the mic, we can’t hear you!
I'm glad to see the comment section open. Along with marquette's comments open beyond me why Ingram has their comment section off
Ingram is awful and has been sued more times than I can recall.
American commercial barge line was one of the biggest companies on the river. Four of the griggs brothers from Marshall county ky Work for ACBL wow that's been years ago
Cory's like... WTF dude, just walk right in.
I guess its ok if you just can't do anything else
Hello! This is all very interesting and I would love to learn more. I busted the website but I wanted to ask what other kinds of career options y’all offer aside from the basic ones listed online. Thanks!
Engine room?
Tugs are all about the engines. I'm disappointed that you didn't take us to tour the heart of the vessel.
why does no one show the engine room , the best part of the whole boat.
👍👍👍
Great!!!I’m interested
Do not work for this company!!!
I totally agree
I used to ride on boats for ICBL in the early 70. I was cook/relief cook on the Bill Elmer, RW Naye, Chicago Trader among others. ACBL is a great Company. The new boats are a far cry from the boats I worked on. I used to ride up to 90 days at a time, day for day . Those were the days.
I'm interested too work in the ship I'm a pilipino my name is Emilio
Hello i just finished my diploma certification in marine engineering here in Nigeria and am looking for an international vessel to work with and gain maritime experience , don't know if your company provides such platform 🙏
We work to educate about river careers. We do have a career page that lists different positions and companies that hire for those positions. riverworksdiscovery.org/careers
Very interesting. Thanks.
Why are they called, Tow Boats, when they push?
🤔👏👏👏👏
I see things haven’t changed since I rode back in the 90’s. That must a lower god boat 😂 their tools are mainly cleaning supplies. Us upper boys always to build their tow in the winter, And then had to build their tow in St Louis.
Mrs Richards: "I paid for a room with a view !" Basil: (pointing to the lovely view) "That is Torquay, Madam ." Mrs Richards: "It's not good enough!" Basil: "May I ask what you were expecting to see out of a Torquay hotel bedroom window ? Sydney Opera House, perhaps? the Hanging Gardens of Babylon? Herds of wildebeest sweeping majestically past?..." Mrs Richards: "Don't be silly! I expect to be able to see the sea!" Basil: "You can see the sea, it's over there between the land and the sky." Mrs Richards: "I'm not satisfied. But I shall stay. But I expect a reduction." Basil: "Why?! Because Krakatoa's not erupting at the moment ?"
Thank you for making this video. My fiance left for the boat last night. We have a 3 year old and she was really upset to see that her daddy was gone..she requested to watch towboat videos. We found this one and she was so excited to see where her dad was working. He's on the Kenny Eads.
Glad it was helpful!
Two questions- What river does this tug operate on? and how long do your tours of duty last?
it runs the southern Mississippi river from cairo Illinois to south of baton rouge area. crews work 28 days on 28 days off
THESE TOWBOATS ARE AMAZING!!!!
thanks for tour capt have always been in aw of tows grew up on ohio barges are not fast but like a turtle they get there with a massive load
I want to see the engine room please.
Gee , you guys are spoiled rotten ! A job I would do for nothing .
Very interesting and informative video. Thank you !
Thanks captain for tour. Those boats are so amazing.
Man.. I remember sleeping in one of those guest rooms. Took one of my runs on a ACBL T/B. Got on at Tell City to Louisville. I do remember it was a very clean boat. Don't recall they had Sat TV/Internet. Spent most of the trip up on the bridge though. Not sure if the capt was too warm having a Coastie up on the bridge (maybe felt I was spying lol). But was there as part of my "Area Familarzation trip" after being assigned to Coast Guard Ohio River Group when it was in Owensboro Ky. All the radiomen took one of these rides. After a few hours, I think the skipper understood I was a radioman, not an inspector and I was the one he'd talk to if he got into trouble out on the water. I just remember they were some very professional drivers.
Captain, great video sir, I absolutely love to watch these kinds of videos, especially how you explained about the props and all the rudders, thanks👍
I was on the il. River for Wolfe Marine, started out cleaning barges for Albert, then deckhand 78 9 and 80 out of the Hennepin fleet.
Where was the Engine Room ?????
interesting tour of a ship that you rarely hear about (but depend on for your goods!)
I’ll haffta wait for the next video to see the engines, I guess. 😳
I think ACBL owns the Elizabeth Dewy now. That was my boat under WKN. Many trips up and down the Mississippi.
Yes. I ride that boat. It's now the Capt. Michael D. Collins
Sorry you missed the most important room! Where is the engine room? What is the power plants powering the vessel? Does not go any where with out it!!! Tell I am an engine man!
It's my understanding the pilot is onboard to assist in navigating portions of a water body that requires intimate knowledge of that water body (depths, tidal surge, obstacles, etc). What would be the situation where the pilot would need a private cabin with a bed? Not trolling just asking.
The pilot runs the opposite watch as the captain. We are only allowed 12 hour work days unless emergency situations arise. So when the captain is asleep the pilot is in the wheelhouse steering until captain relieves him. The pilot and captain have the same job, except one has much more paperwork and responsibilities than the other.
Since when did a propeller become a wheel?
Those downriver boats are so luxurious, not so the boats which run the Three Rivers.
That’s somewhat correct…I was on the Elizabeth Dewy. Very nice boat with all modern features and equipment. But I’ve seen some boats that should have been condemned. Especially harbor hoppers, they were the worse. I remember going on a boat during crew change. It was absolutely disgusting.
@@lookingbehind6335 There are no cooks on Three Rivers boats, the headend deckhand is responsible for cooking the meals, the sternend was responsible for the dishes. landing boats do not build up or break down tows, nor do they take off or drop off barges while you are under way. We had to do all that ourselves, all the time. I worked two companies, Mon River and CTC. A hitch is two weeks, with one week off, instead of one month on, one month off like the downriver boats, so that's 2/3 of the year on the river. When I saw how the down river boats had it, I was jealous. 😄
Great video, who builds these boats?
Perfektní loď. A jak to tam máte všechno v úžasné čistotě! To se hned pozná pořádná posádka a dobrý kapitán. Tady u nás, když se projedu ve vlacích, tak to tam je samé svinstvo. Tady blízko je řeka Labe, ale tam plují malinké lodičky oproti tomu, co máte vy. Ať se daří a dobrou plavbu!
27 working on tugs just like this couldn’t ask for a better job view and the pay checks aren’t bad either!
ACBL was so very very good to me and, My family over my entire, 32 years. Retired as Captain 2 years, 9 months & 18 days ago. With an absolutely outstanding retirement package.
I pooped
Thanks for getting those resources where they needed to be. My dad was a steelworker at US Steel for 40 years. You guys are a rare breed and I grew up watching Towboats go past our cabin on the Black Warrior near Birmingport AL. It was a super thrilling experience as a kid and still now, to hear and feel that rumble and know exactly what's about to come around the bend at Black Creek.
@@tigerbatman7881 Everybody poops, but, not everybody gets to poop on a towboat going down the river.
Does acbl still offer a pension to employees??
