Thank you for the info my wife and I might be seeing you in a year or two. We are selling our house and everything else to hit the road. Woooo Hooo Road Trip to the beet harvest and probably camp hosts the rest of the year.
No problem! There’s a lot of temporary and seasonal work camping jobs out there. Keep looking online and asking other work campers you meet when you hit the road and you’ll be surprised how many opportunities there are. Good luck!
It can also be dangerous because as you know the tuck drivers aren’t always very qualified. Roll overs happen yearly. I ran a tri axle truck, 12 hour night shifts
Just curious if you're allowed to have music in one ear down low so that it's more of just background and you can still concentrate on the job at hand if you're one of the ones standing in directing? And how is the Internet out there? Keeping in contact with folks back home is important so that's just a couple of my questions. Thanks for putting this out there! I'll be out there myself in about two years.
Who says everyone has a camper? If I did this, I would have to get a hotel for 1-2 weeks. Each week, I would be spending $1,000 on a hotel. Do you think it’s worth my time to make a profit?
Thats sad... our location starts out at over 19 an hour... and overtime is plentiful. Bad side is being a piler operator, i do not get paid more than anyone else, even though its the most mentally taxing part of the whole operation.
While the job is generally made out to be harder than it is, in no way would I character it as being the easiest job I've ever had. And I've had jobs so difficult that most men couldn't do them. Also, tying to get the truck drivers to comply with my directions kept me on my toes. Had one driver unload his beets in one shot despite me telling him to stop.; he blew out the rear scoop on the piler.
We use a skid steer for most of the excess dirt. Like you said it's the most boring job in the world. I've been collecting bags of dirt for an experimental raised bed garden. At our piler we have alternating shifts so it's a little more fair in the long run. We work at the Hawes piler in Nashua Mn.

Thanks for video. Considering Michigan 1st timer!
A couple of days ago one of our quad axle trucks got three tires sliced open at the piler

You can listen to music. With both earbuds even!
We pretty much do whatever we want

I watched a UA-cam channel and they said it was a 13 to 15 hour a day job,but excellent pay 7 days a week?
In Colorado they offer $15/hour to do the sugar beet sampling...
Thank you for this video because the older UA-camrs make it sound like such a hard physical job and not worth it. I might head up in 2022.
i did renville beets for a few years it was fun af
Me too

It's called a gate not a scoop
Also thanks so much for the info!
Which state did you do the harvest in?
Are you the dude from Bad Lip Reading?
Very interesting

Thanks for the info. Do they allow people to camp in tents ?
No. They will have you send them pictures of your rig. If I remember correctly, the require you have a bed, table, sink, and a place to sit.
Thank you
Work a trade job and work seasonal. Beyond more money than this!
Boring!
