    Embark on an unforgettable adventure as we put to test the skills of a novice and a veteran excavator operator! This thrilling showcase follows the journey of a beginner who, despite his best efforts, struggles to scoop up a stone with his machine. Watch as he eventually resorts to lifting the stone manually, proving that it's not about the size of the obstacle, but the will to overcome it. But don't switch off just yet, the tables are about to turn. Witness the finesse of a seasoned operator as he steps into the spotlight, demonstrating the prowess that only years of experience can bring. It's a showdown that you don't want to miss!

      Ehh most everyone can absolutely do these jobs. Not a high threshold of entry to get into basic level terraform construction they're doing. Are you relatively fit? Can you learn to operate some levers? You're in.
      There's a difference between "not every can do this job" , and "not everyone can do this job at an expert level" most everyone can pick up a shovel and do manual labor and training. My first job was in construction. I was eighteen. I handed the guy a dirty and ripped application and he handed me a hardhat lol. It was a good job. But it was in no way a job "not everyone can do"

Definitely not a job that "not everybody can do" most people with all their appendages, and even some missing certain ones could do this job. Now could they all do it well? Probably not, not the the level of this bucket operator. But they could do it. I did it and I was pretty overweight at the time.

    Over the years I’ve had to have horses buried, had to hire a fork lift operator for the job. These operators showed much compassion & understanding about our loss of a beloved animal, which had been a part of my life for many years. I’m amazed at how gentle they were in handling the deceased horse, placing gently into their final resting place. Knowing the animal is at peace, was treated with kindness & respect is such a blessing. The ability of these men to handle this heavy equipment with such finesse & not cause any harm made a difficult time so much easier to bear. In each case they responded quickly to the call & the cost was very acceptable. I have much respect for these operators & their willingness to help bring closer in a very emotional time. Thank you to all operators who answer the call to help in this situation. It is not easy to set yourself up for the emotions you will face, but believe me it is very much appreciated.

      @@Miki-shinano Forklift operators often transition to other jobs. It's like the intro level of working blue collar jobs.
      The joke is that almost all companies have some sort of BS where they make you watch a video made in the 80s about safety, give you 15 minutes on the truck (at best), then hand you your certification. then trust you to drive a 10+ ton hunk of steel in close proximity to other humans who have a willful disregard for their own lives and safety who like to walk out in front of fully loaded vehicles.
      Forklift operators spend a lot of time on their trucks, so get used to how things move when you nudge them. A good one can pick up a dime with their forks. This is a result of boredom and starting out on night shift where there is less to do and even less supervision. When the forklift operator decides the pay is shit and they can take their skills elsewhere, they often sign up to become heavy equipment operators. Where there is often even more time to screw off. Often because you are waiting for something, like the concrete to be delivered, an inspector to show up 5 hours late, or whatever. So they entertain themselves with dumb things like this.

      Once told a boss sure you can fill my position but what you really should be asking is can you replace me.
      Two very different things "Hoss"
      He wasn't to bright. Obviously found a different company thrilled to get a good hand.
      I've had keys to everything they own months before becoming Foreman and run quite of bit more of the company unofficially.
      We all draw salaries of the same bank account is a rare employee understanding.
      Great company, 21 years in September.
      If the boss extends his hand you want to shake it even if it's empty. He's a great guy.
      But there's often a cash bonus in that handshake at work.
      Rare kinda guy that can chew your arse out as a Boss but that's buisness and you're friends off the clock even if you didn't do well at work.

      I worked in construction, It makes life so much easier for a laborer when you have a really good confident excavator on site. A beginner scared to get too close to things they might damage can leave you with a fair amount of shovelling, wheelbarrowing and digging by hand.

    I've been running excavators for 20 years. 10 years ago, while running 60 foot-long boom, the foreman was talking to an inspector. He put a quarter on the ground and looked at me. I picked up the quarter in the bucket, and the foreman got his winnings. That was when I really felt like I finally was a real operator. It took 10 years before everything clicked, and the machine was now an extension of my body.

      My point was, you could practice picking that up for hours and still never make any progress-- but now that you've seen a technique on how to do it: you could get it in a few tries. Knowledge is better than practice alone. Of course practicing that knowledge is the best of both worlds-- but just blind practice doesn't get you very far most of the time. This is why men need mentors and leaders to look up to. This is why children need a father figure in their life. Guidance..
