I work at Cummins Engine Co. Don't know if you all ya'll have heard of the Semi's with the APEX motor in them, but we do those here. Also, we do the Cummins diesels that goes in the Dodge Ram trucks. But those are about 10 miles away at another factory. Other than that, I work for Cummins..

I think that may be the engine we are going to upgrade to next year for our rig's but the process of getting a bellhousing engineerd is a fortune and takes a lot of time we have a bigol detroit blown and 32psi turbo pushing it at 2250 all day

I work in a steel mill, and am part of IAM LL 1943.
I've done a lot of things, from ladle crane operator to quality inspector, almost all jobs have their good and bad days, crane operator was definetly the most stressful, there wasnt any live internet connections in the cab!!
