I work for Foss in San Francisco as an AB Deckhand. Really good company to work for. Really serious about safety. Audited frequently for ISO,by Chevron and internally by Foss. When on deck must wear a hard hat,work vest,steel toes and gloves. Tankermen in SF are SUP. I believe about $40 per hr. Tankermen in Seattle are IBU. I would imagine very close to SUP Tankermen rate. Tankermen in SF work 12hrs on 12hrs off,week on week off. Don’t know if work schedule is the same in Seattle. Pay week ends Monday,get paid that Friday.

Hope that helps and good luck

I would have never made it on deck working for them. Hardly ever thought about wearing a life jacket, wore shorts most of the time & sometimes no shirt. Docksiders or flip flops i wore on deck. Never had an injury cause of that either.
