    Hey all,
    I am new to the site, I was just wondering if anyone here has any idea how this company is to work for.
    Thanks for your input,

    If the address is out of Florida, I believe that is the children of Lathem Smith. Never heard anything about them.

    The address is in Florida, looks like a small company. They are looking for an unlicensed engineer. Working Yucatan to Panama? I have a license, and am currently working, and commited to work at least through the begining of the new year... Just thought I would pass it on to any one looking.

    Thanks for the heads up. The best way to find out about a company is to ask the company................

    Tradewinds Towing is Dom and Racheal Smith, and they are Latham's children. Don't know much about them other then that. And they have spent a little change on getting the tugs done over.

    Thanks, I hope that somebody is able to contact them and get the job. I have been e-mailing and talking to them and they seem very straight up. Good luck to anyone looking.

    I've been out of the industry for the last 10+ years so my lack of recent experience killed me even if the job was still open ... thanks anyway.
