Finding Some Specialized Pipeline Drivers

By Stephanie Miller


For upwards of the majority of its time in existence, humanity was nomadic. They walked around the earth hunting and gathering, putting together enough resources so they could survive for the day so that they could wake up the next day and do it all over again. Eventually, one tribe settled down, because it turned out that cultivating resources was much easier than seeking them out. Now, these early settlements were fairly rudimentary. It was not as if they had running water or electricity. But as time marched forward as it is wont to do, humankind got those things. But those do not come into the world by a magic spell. There is no wizard waving their wand around making things happen. They must be made to happen using technology. But that technology needs to be maintained, and one sect of workers doing that are specialized pipeline drivers.

Before proceeding any further, it must be explained just what exactly a pipeline is. Well, a pipe is a tube through which liquid or gas travels. Really, anything can travel through it. A pipeline is a sequence of pipes, and they are generally much larger than the ones used for indoor plumbing.

Now, the reason that they are being used is because fuel needs to be transported. Now, putting them in canisters and the driving them from place to place is viable. But having a system in place, like a pipeline, would be even more efficient.

Now, the drivers do a lot of things. But the main thing that they do is that they drive. They get into their vehicles, turn on the ignition, and then they push down on the pedal to make that vehicle move forward.

The reason they have to be used is simple. The resources and equipment that it takes to maintain even a single mile of pipeline can be rather hefty in nature. So there has to be truck used to carry it. Now, that truck is not just going to start moving under its own power. It has to be compelled to move by an outside entity.

Now, finding such drivers will not be all that hard. This is because everyone needs to work. Everyone needs to find something with which to fill their time. Posting job notices on the internet, particularly on job hunting websites, should be more than enough to bring in at least one or two qualified applicants.

Money is going to be an issue. This is because pretty much everyone who is alive in the modern day requires money. No one goes to work just for the thrill of it. No, they go to work because they get things like a salary and benefits, both of which are incredibly necessary.

But they should also be qualified for the position. After all, it does no one any favors if someone gets the job and they do not actually know how to do it. If someone who is unqualified for the job actually gets hired, then they are going to be fairly incompetent at it. Now, that incompetence can lead to a downswing in productivity, which is not ideal under any circumstances, but particularly undesirable given just what products move through pipelines.

Living was not meant to be easy. But humanity is nothing if not stubborn. So it went ahead and made living easy.
