One of the positions we need is a person who can be a responsible wrecker operator.
We assume someone will bring a functional wrecker, but we also need someone who is approved to use said wrecker, has loadout experience and will be available the majority of the time. So someone who's going to spend all their time on the trails isn't ideal.
If this is you, speak up.
me if I do not try to fly the 819 AGAIN, once is enough., I have the necessary rigging.. I have loaded out for the last two years, might as well go for three. AND in worse case, I will help flip burgers.
Since I have not heard anything on this and have NOT been told that I will not be the one doing the load out/crane work again this year, I thought I would follow up.
In the past years people offered CASH, This does not really help the situation because the wrecker
BURNS FUEL not cash, yes cash can be used to buy fuel but there is not a station near by, it would be a hassle to rig down, run to town (burning MORE fuel), then rig back up. If I were to charge to do the lifts that would be tough to work out, I get $100-$125 a hour, 2 hour mim. for m819 work (yes it takes that much for the proper care and feeding of the wrecker), being I am going to the rally anyway, I could not charge travel.
So back to the situation at hand which is the load out, crane work for the rally attendees and DONATIONS for payment,
FUEL is burned to do the job, SO
FUEL, I repeat
FUEL is what is needed and would be greatly
APPRECIATED, cash will not be turned down BUT IF YOU PLAN TO USE THE RALLY LOADOUT, CRANE WORK,
PLAN AHEAD and bring fuel.
Remember the m819 is NOT a high MPG MV, every gal. of
fuel used for rally use is
cutting into return to home AO fuel reserve.
