So basically my company uses these tow boats to push these barges up and down the river systems here. This one in perticular works up and down the Mississippi and Ohio systems . We mainly do various gases and liquid oil products. 

This one of the biggest boats in our company. Think it's 150' long 50' wide  and the barges are generally 150' by 55' if in remembering right

Actually this is a little video of my boat pushing a tow

And that's like a 15' John boat on the back upper deck for scale.

Other then the crew and captain being a little...off ( apparently they can't keep anyone on this boat due to the weird captain ? ) I really I can't really complain. Will say though I wish I was one of these people who could zone out and watch TV for hours on a end because when I'm not on my shift it's kinda all you have to do...that and sleep lol. Really easy money all things considered just kinda boring though ?

And some pictures from yesterday evening. Will say sun set on the river is beautiful
