Deckhand Training Channelview,TX

Do you have to shave your beard to work at kirby?

@Donneville Prescott ya'll hiring?

This is all wrong you never lead timerhead for a line you use the front or the backhead try stoping a cut when the pin is higher then the barges this is clown training I Been on the water since 2008

Man our class was so hood . We brought the hood to kirby training course lol😂

I trained here. Kirby Inland is a great company.

@arksredemption did you have to take a urine test on the spot or did they send you to a lab?

That's a botched bollard tie

Kirby is a great company to work for I learned a lot

His last half hitch was backwards the leads should be together inside of a U that will singe down but not file

Kirby is by far the cleanest looking.
Nice boats, nice ropes, nice uniforms...
Other companies dont seem to care about that

Is Kirby a good company to work for

Deck we did it night and day in Helena Ark. back in the late seventies. At night we could have used mosquitoes to carry lines rather than throwing them!!!

Piss poor training, only use figure of 8s and never finish with lock turns or Clove hitches as they will jam under load.

It’s called a half hitch

Why not do figure 8s

Are those kirby uniforms?

Are u still working for Kirby I have a job interview with them on Thursday

Just do a barge knot....

I recommend the granny knot x ten

Never seen any other way to work off heads than that way until I came up north... none of these guys treat heads like cavels... it’s working it off one head, wrapping clockwise.

3 way leads are best

Put the line around the timber head not the timber head around the line lol (Capt on the radio in the wheelhouse talking to deck hand )
