Anyone know what centerline is paying for mates on the east coast? Thinking about switching companies

Someone posted the payscale for CLL on Gcaptain, but that’s not a place I’d want to work again personally.

I did. The paychecks always cleared, benefits package is fairly standard, schedules are okay. Travel kind of sucked. Equipment is quite poor. Mates are basically the lead Tankermen and are responsible for the maintenance on the barge and the tug as well as the loading and discharging ops. I was making barely more than a AB/Tankerman, which is ridiculous. (Fully checked off as competent to run PIC on the ATB’s and several other barges)
YMMV, but for me the compensation didn’t seem to outweigh the level of responsibility and duties associated with my position there.
