@MethDozer they look sooo slow! Are they hard to drive?
My favorite job was my time as a medical currier. I drove a ton so would put in audio books and just do my thing ☺️☺️

@AlittleBitGenX Not really once you learn how to push with a tug and how it behaves. When to drop the spuds and to pivot on a drop spud. 90% of it is having a good relationship and communication with your spotter and their hand signals.
It is a slow drive but there's little better than just putting on/ down the water.
It depends on the barge and the size and weight of the load too.
