The work horse of the waters ... I hear that the upper part of the Mississippi may not be able to take any barges this year if the Drought does not let up it seems like it is either feast or famine maybe we will have enough water this year to change things.

Technically, it's a tow boat, rather than a tug boat.

In all honesty those on the river are refered to as push boats due to the squared off bow which allows them to snug up tight against the barges they are pushing.
