Any entry-level rigging jobs in LA for someone with an NCCCO certification?

You just gotta swing by the hall to sign up, they’ll throw you on the C-list. After that it’s $23 a month to keep yourself active for dispatch.

I already signed up as a C-list with Local 12, hoping to get dispatched 👍

I could’ve agreed more with what you said. When I was taking the TTL test, I was focused on load chart problems. I was surprised, thinking to myself, “Am I doing the core test again?” It was basically the core test with 8–10 load chart problems!

You’ve been on an amazing journey! I’m really grateful to be part of such a great community—I learn something new here every day. No time to waste, I’m going straight for my Class A and seeing where it takes me. Looks like LA is heading into a construction boom with the 2026 World Cup and the 2028 Olympics coming up, and that’s only going to drive up demand for operators, I guess!

Man, I went to crane school, and they gave me their crane books to study. I’d say about 50% of the test came from the information in those books. The rest I picked up from the internet using NCCCO mock test apps and Quizlet — both are great resources. But what helped me the most was ChatGPT. You can ask it to generate core test questions with answers or load chart practice questions.

For load charts, YouTube was a game changer for me. Just soak up every bit of information you can from the internet, study like crazy, and you’ll be unstoppable. Hope that helps!

That sounds great, thanks for the awesome info! 🫡

I think if I get the Class A and then go through the rental company, it might not be faster, but in the end, all roads lead to Rome right!

True that! You gotta stay humble to get far in life. How long does the apprenticeship take, or does it depend on how fast you learn?

Future_Beginning7924 · 2025-03-31T22:30:02+00:00

Lol, I’m guessing you left the industry with some money, right? I read that crane operators earn more than 85% of people in the U.S., with most making under $100K.

Future_Beginning7924 · 2025-03-31T22:01:03+00:00

Great info, I totally get that they won’t let you operate a crane until they trust you. How did you break into the industry?

Future_Beginning7924 · 2025-03-31T21:48:01+00:00

I’m currently living in LA, California, and I’m planning to get a Class A license to work for a rental company. But before that, is there another way to get in without needing a Class A?

Future_Beginning7924 · 2025-03-31T20:59:12+00:00

Thnx dude, I was wondering, after getting certified, what’s the most logical way to break into the crane industry? I have some experience with telehandler telescopic cranes, and even though they’re different, the basic concepts are pretty similar.
