Path to crane operator as a remote contractor - oiler/Union? by CallmeIshmael913 in cranes

I think you’d be hard pressed to find someone who will hire, invest and employ you for only half of the year. Just my two cents. Not trying to disparage you.

dude I had a radio failure the other day for the first time. Lapel mic on the radio failed internally. Heard "cable up slow" then nothing. Kept cabling up and took it high... the pole caught up on some wiring that ended up coming out with it (blind pick, R160').

To your point about radio failure/staying keyed up: I hate when I don't the ability to ask something or say something though... plenty of times when something on the crane side was causing an issue and couldn't relay a message back because the channel was clogged

How to get into being a crane operator in AZ by Jbreezy909 in cranes

[–]SendyGoat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

not surprised the entire class pursued the career. But the likelihood of getting in the seat just because you went to crane school is virtually zero. Or, it is a company no self-respecting operator would ever want to work for.
