Ingram fosters this philosophy and treats people the way each of us would like to be treated. At Ingram, we provide superior service for our customers. Our sincere concern for servicing our customers is what keeps us in the forefront as a major force in the Inland River marketplace. Crew members on board Ingram towboats include Captains, Pilots, Engineers, Cooks, Mates, and Deckhands. Captains and Pilots supervise the crews and navigate the towboats and tows.
Engineers maintain the vessel engines and auxiliary equipment.
Cooks prepare the meals. This job is physically demanding, requiring lifting and carrying of equipment and tools in all kinds of weather night and day. Deckhands also provide valuable assistance while a towboat transits locks, and have duties related to keeping Ingram towboats clean, safe, and attractive. Our crew members work two six hour shifts each day with two six hour periods in between for sleep and relaxation. The typical work cycle is 28 days on the towboat and 28 days off.
