You keep the country running

Like all the communities here at CoTradeCo, Hardworking Folk is brand new. This community is dedicated to you folks out there building and maintaining the nuts and bolts of this country. Construction workers, facility engineers, welders, linesmen, contractors, farmers, and you. This is place to chat with other folks like you and share stories, work advice, whatever.

Are you new here? Get your own spot!

Once you’ve uploaded a picture of yourself and filled out some info in your profile, you should head over and introduce yourself in our Hardworking Folk community Introductions story topic so everybody knows you’re here. Or if you’ve got a hobby or small business of your own why not post a shameless promotion? (please limit to one promotion per week!)

Real people; getting the job done

A place for everybody who works in the trenches maintaining and engineering modern society and keep our world running. Discuss work, share stories, and relate.

Most of the time we are invisible, but we keep the world running. You see our trucks driving down the freeway full of cargo, on the way to repair the infrastructure of civilization, fixing those roads, building homes, offices, retail outlets, maintaining and improving those same buildings. We get power, water, and telecommunications to you. You call us when something breaks.

If the above describes you, welcome. You have found a group of people who like talking shop. Share your experiences, your frustrations, your successes, and even your failures. Help fellow hardworking folk out if they have questions or need advice.

And we all want to see pictures of your job sites, the facility you maintain, and all the interesting stuff you see from our unique vantage points. So post some pictures and tell us about them.

If not don’t hesitate to post a story with questions and comments. While we tend to be invisible and working sometimes thankless jobs, we are good hardworking people who would be happy to talk with you.
