Not the worst paying job...but the hardest I've ever had...
I worked a summer job on a coal cleanup crew at Alabama Power - Miller Steam plant. Our job was to go into the transfer houses and tripper floor (where they put coal into the silos in the plant) and shovel the coal out or back onto the belts. The coal would come off the belts sometimes. Sometimes the pile of coal would be 10ft high. It was the HARDEST job I've ever had. At first, it was killing us. We either shoveled coal all day or LAID on a fire hose. We could shovel it or wash it out. It was actually easier and faster to shovel it out. By the end of the summer we had got used to it. I made good money. But it was tough.
I remember one time I was in the "pit" shoveling fine coal dust. It was so dusty I couldn't see the wheel barrel. I just closed my eyes and shoveled. I left nearly everyday black as coal and my feet were draggin.
My dad loved it. I rode to work with him. He had to drive home some days. I just couldn't shift gears.
