Ain"t nothing finer than a Murphy pipeliner!

On a large job... 798 is VERY, Very impressive!!! I've seen what they do. All hands on deck and the knowhow to get the job done right and on time!!! I haven't hade the opportunity to work with them direct. But I would if the opportunity came about. 798 isn't represented where I live. Or else I would have dug into that a ways back for sure. I'm a one man band and do what ever it takes to get a job done. It'd be nice to see the other side of things. Hats off to those guys!!!

BRAVO !!!!

😂😂😂😂 great! All the 798's that were great and alpha are dead and gone. RIP non pussy bitches that don't play butt brother's 😢😢😢😢😢. Its this respectful? RUclips is just as soft as the world nowadays

As a Local 302 apprentice my first Alaska Pipeline job was in Valdez after 11 months training to operate heavy equipment in Job Corp and then Union training at White Swan Washington. They want to find out what kind of worker you are and see what you might know, do well, or not...are you too proud to grease a rig, scared of getting oil on your jeans, etc. when you actually get on the job. I was a mechanic's helper in and out of the shop for a few months then tasked with an experienced oiler learning those ropes and wearing oil and grease proudly enough. My journeyman there had his Dad there running 220 American cranes on the docks. I suppose I may have been recommended to him because I was then moved to working in and around cranes, learning signals, rigging, safety and respect for the loads I put over people's heads. Moving into many models and sizes of hydraulic cranes from there I was, one day, asked to go move some steel for the 798ers from Bald Knob Arkansas. I'd been told how they were so tight with each other and really good at what they do...put stuff together well. "You treat those guys right, be damn careful" or other phrases like that were uttered by the journeymen as I moved out to get to work. Soon I was given a bigger, newer crane and requested by the 798ers to take a crew up in a man basket to weld the flare stacks in a blizzard...the basket surrounded by a canvas tent so I'd be looking up all day (no radios), neck getting stiff, bladder full, but hangin' in there waiting, watching for a signal...one never knows if an emergency could necessitate immediate attention, lowering them, etc. I was encouraged, I guess the appropriate word might be, (not at all haughty, or puffed up) by being recalled again and again to work with these great guys and can say now in retirement, it was an honor to have worked with them. Good job guys, one and all...

LGB FJB ! Work union,live better ! Retired IUOE local 49 here

If I was a single guy this would be an awesome trade to get into. I couldn’t be away from kids on the road. I wonder how many of these guys are divorced. The local I work for has a smaller territory. Always home everyday so see the family and go to my kids games and events. Don’t get no better.

798 biggest bunch of inbreed ass holes I have every worked with no wonder most jobs today are non-union

Ain't nothing finer than a pipeliner ('s daughter) ;) My Dad was a proud 798'er since the late 80's, Joel Mallette. He shared so many stories and pics, and friends that were like family. Hard working, extremely intelligent, and not afraid to "scratch for a penny" is what he always said. I unfortunately lost him 5 years ago, but I will always carry the 798 lifestyle with me and pass to his grandsons. My brother still has his old welding rig and it's still running! Keep the legacy going strong!! Much love + respect.

"There's nothing finer than a pipeline" I can think of a few things

You hands think you only ones shit that ain't nothing

and now 798 doesn't have any work lol shocker

I worked gas pipelines for 25years.Not 798 but we worked all year around.

2021 and biden fu** it all up for everyone

Bet the 798 wishes they hadn't supported Joe Biden. Now everyone will have to get a job.

My Dad, Tommy Truelove was one of the early 798er's...he joined the union in June of 1950 the year after 798 was formed...and he was a member for 40 yrs...as a kid we traveled all over the U.S. going from one job to another...my Mom said I had traveled thru about 20 states before I was one or two...when my older sister went into H.S. we settled near Corsicana, Tx...after that my Dad would travel to jobs...and we would go with him in the summers...at 16 in 1969 I worked my first pipeline with him...I worked summers in H.S. and college to have a car, spending money and to pay for college...I sat out two years of college to work in Alaska...in '75 for MK-R @ Glennallen...in '76 for Arctic Construction @ Dietrich and Galbraith Lake...after starting back to college I still worked summers to pay for my school...after college I was the office manager and accountant for a pipe stringing contractor in DFW....some of my oldest friend's Dads were 798er's...it was a great life...like a big family

Speriamo 😁

Pipeliners. Loudmouthed. Foulmouthed. Disrespectful. City Council ran them out of town. We couldn't have cared more.

After 33 yrs of a union pipefitter and pipelining. I learned a few things. This job has structure, content, meaning and power. Power of pay, pension and education. Thats a job no other. And let's not forget about some owners and management teams. Engineers scientists ceo to the field inspectors. Top of the line folks. Thanks to this industry and my union. I'm enjoying a little bit of retirement. I was raised on union money so were my children so thanks to all you all from Minnesota.

I am a 798 member and I love my union! Thank you local 798!

Are they same as pipefitters and is there a lot of work in this industry though ?

I worked on gas pipelines in New Jersey 1960s till 1980s.Winter of 1977 worst ever.

Nothing easier than burning 6010 and 7018 on pipe.

798 can't keep a man busy 12 months straight

I worked with a crew of 798ers on the trans alaska pipeline putting the 48 inch over the tanana river in Delta in 1976 .My job was to cook moose burgers for the crew.They were a lot of fun.I never was lucky enough to get in the 798ers but I still had a good career as a pipe welder in Alaska and am retired now.

I never had a better Job Pipeliners are the best 798 can do it like one big happy family working together

How shortsighted are these people a 100 years 1 lifetime 3 generations. All for the sake of raping as fast as possible and hiding.

A one-hundred year supply of CNG is under America's feet!!!!!

Pipelines is my dreams jobs weldings my life’s to workings on the pipelines

Working on a pipelines weldings is my passion my everything am in college now just doing some hards works buts in everything we just put gods firsts

I know everything going on

TOM PIPPS . FOAM - BATON ROUGE LOUISIANA USA . HI HELLO . I LINK THE WORK .

I went to their training center last year for a state welding competition and god damn, you talk about a joke 😂 all they do is 8010 downhill on like 24in pipe. I went and joined the Ironworkers Union 584 out of Tulsa straight out of high school, I absolutely love it. But when I was in welding school, all of the pipe I welded was 6010 uphill root, 6010 downhill hotpass (optional), 7018 uphill fill and cap.

Women usually lay down the neatest welds...A former welder talking...

Pipeline welders are great at simple straight line fit ups and weld outs. Put the average pipe liner in a plant where he would have to read some pretty complex prints, do the rigging to get a large spool piece from the ground to three hundred feet in the air through lots of bends and elevation changes where he would use several lifting cranes and air tuggers and then construct his own scaffolding, preheat a piece of pipe with 6" walls before the welding even started and they would be lost and think it crazy for one fitter, welder and helper to have that many skills. In plants where you have to do a lot more than run a good stringer bead, hot pass, and a nice looking cap , they would be lost. How do I know ? because I have worked with a good number of them that did work non union jobs on the down low. All of them were good welders but most of the time we had to help them make it if the fitting and rigging got a little complicated. All the union chemical plants and refineries in the Houston Ship Channel area { more pipe per square mile there than anywhere in the world } do not hire union construction companies for their new construction, expansions, or shut downs. Their daily maintenance fitters and welders are union but folks learned many years ago that those union workers just could not put out either the quantity or quality that those kind of high pressure process pipes require. Whether it is at the post office, Veterans Administration or any other union job, you will be very unpopular if you are too skilled or too efficient. If you have been brought up to get the job done right and get it done as quick as possible and to stay busy as long as you are on company time, else you are stealing from the company, then you would not fit in a union but if you do have that kind of work ethic then there are plenty of good non union construction companies that would love to have you and make you a journeyman craftsman in several trades in the same time you would just get through one union apprentice program.

DONT BE A HATER IM JUST A 798. AN OKE FROM DOWN SOUTH WITH NO HOPE OF MAKING IT OUT. WELD WELD WELD IS ALL I DO, MY ASS GETS FATTER FML TO ALL THIS SHIT SUCKS TOO!!! I SHOULDA LISTENED TO MOM AND GOT AN EDUCATION MAAN!

I was working on a 300 mile pipeline from Fort Stockton to San Antonio when I got drafted in 1968. At that time I was not a fitter, I was on the crew laying out the route and cutting 300 miles of cedar, mesquite, and black locust trees with thorns over 6" long. In one way or another the petrochem industry has put groceries on our table since I was 17 years old. I have been retired since 2003; are there any 300 mile + lines going on these days?

Back in the mid 70's I started fitting pipe in East Texas at a coal burning power plant and at an EXXON plant add on. Work got slow around home so I drove down to Houston for work. My bro-in-law, Pancake Jones , a pipe welder and crane operator, used to say, " never drive through the Houston area with your welding hood hanging on your rifle rack or they would kidnap you and make you go to work. Well, when I got to Houston I was offered work on three different jobs the first day there. If you were a pipe fitter or pipe welder you could work if you wanted to and pretty much where you wanted especially if you had a petro chemical background. One day I took off and drove over to the pipe fitter/ steam fitter union just to check if I were missing out on something. I parked my truck in the back parking lot, there were a number of men standing around looking kinda sad. I spoke to a couple of guys about union opportunities, both of them told me that the union in that area did not have enough work to keep their current members working and that if I had a job then I was better off than most union fitters were. It is common knowledge that the best pipe welders and fitters come out of Texas but Texas is 90% non union. The big companies pay about $1.00 less than union jobs but you don't have to buy your job so none union craftsmen probably come out ahead considering they don't have to get permission to work certain jobs and also get lots of overtime. Whenever a union chemical plant or refinery does an add on or turn around, they don't even accept bids from union construction companies because their skills and work pace just aren't able to compete with the non union workers. I have worked around many jealous union plant maintenance craftsmen that were fuming mad because we were making 84 hours per week while they were going home with just 40 hours. After you learn the basics, it is only the hours of hands on experience and personal work ethics that dictate how good one can get at his trade but I will say this, If you are working 60 to 84 hours per week you will accumulate those hours of hands on experience and bigger checks while getting your experience than if you are working on jobs that limit your hours and even limit what tasks you can touch. On a non union job the guy burning rods may also be very skilled at running the biggest Manitowoc crane on the job or they may be very good scaffold builders. It all translates into money for your family. I never had to cross a union picket line because the union in Texas is so small you can work in skills and trades all your life and never even meet a union employee.

Any pipe liner unions with mixed races lol all I see is snow

What's up 798 just got done finishing welding school having a hard time getting a job

Can't imagine being union. Must be like giving up your ball sack. I earn what I work for and work for what I earn. Real sense of value and personal worth. Feels really good knowing my employers value ME and reward ME for MY hard work. Life is grand.

YEAH THEY DO IT RIGHT ALL THE TIME EVERY SINGLE TIME...JUST LIKE THE OVER 3000 WELDS THAT HAD TO BE DUG UP AND REDONE IN ALASKA, OHHHHH YEAH THATS RIGHT..

Please compare other methods of "pipe fitting" with FIT RITE Precision Pipe Fitting Systems! Just google FIT RITE FAST! Faster, easier, cheaper and more accurate! One operator in lieu of a "Fitter" and "Welder" saves man-hours! Make more profit! See www.FitRiteFast.com.

So cringy “notin’ finer than a pipeline” I’ve been pipelining for over 6 years I’m a union operator (i run a boom or a hoe) and I can tell you that most 798 hands are great guys only some are whiny, dope head assholes.

What does a track hire operator make in this field of work?

Yes. amazing project

Hi Guys, i hope to collaborate with you

Fuck that im just a fitter welder better grind his own shit i just watch him give him a rod stuff like that but not gonna grind his welds

fuck them greedy fruckers
