    I used to be a ICI Pipefitter (Local 46) before I re-trained as a Software Developer. Some crane operators were tough on us apprentices but the good ones would pull us aside and teach us how to communicate with you guys.

    I am a crane operator myself, been on all type of machines the last 20 years. And the last 10 i have mostly been on cranes. Why don´t you get your self a hook cam or place it in the trolly. You can get decent backup camera from china for cheap. Then you get a camera that you need to connect to power, 12v. But a small motorcycle battery works whole 8 hours, then you get a monitor 8-12 inch LED monitor that you can use to see whats beneath the hook in a blind lift. They usually can work up to 50-60 meters in a straight line. I got my self a similar system that i placed on the boom head on my 45 ton Liebherr, proper Orlaco cost 6-900 dollars. Back up camera with wireless monitor from China cost 25 dollars...

Get the Bucket empty and start raking, its quicker than moving the Bucket around for wheelbarrow sized piles here and there, when you are finished raking the bucket is back from the truck anyways..😅. And that is a hand signal type of pour job imo

    Are you regulated to mandatory breaks where you can to come down to the ground. Truckers have mandatory 30 min break before 8 hours and have to stop at their 14 hour and have to be off to 10 hours. This is all DOT regulations. Do you have similar federal regulations.
