What do you want to know? Is it a little hairy the first time you go in a crane? Yes very. Its even more scary the first time you drive one. :eek::eek: Heres a couple pics of my first time behind the sticks.

Shit I just remembered. They were filming on a job I was on a couple weeks ago. The camera guys were in the crane while I was on the dock signalling for the operator. We'll see if I make the cut.

How the hell you guys work way up there I'll never know. And to be able to put those things where you do with the accuracy you do...I don't get it...

My dad used to work at a friend of his beer bar down by the port. Said the longshoreman came in all the time...

Its not that big of deal. Like anything, once you do it a few times it gets easy.




What bar? :hmm

If they don't show them sleeping on the job then the entire program must be innaccurate..... :D

We don't sleep on the job, we sleep on our breaks. Get it right. And don't hate cause we don't get little pissy breaks like everyone else.
