Glad that You All are so Optimistic.......... :-[
Wolf Watcher:
EL/D: You mean you won't have someone on the head set trying to tell you what to do during all that testing?? I always trusted the operator, but never the guy that was trying to land a load! You will do fine. Looking forward to seeing you at Twin Oaks! Also if the fellow doing the testing is like some welding inspectors I have known, he can't do what you can do on a crane! Joe
El Destructo:
Thanks Joe....I always get myself all worked up for these Hands On Tests...You Spend Your whole Life learning to do a Job...They (the Company and Safety Department) tell you to take your time and do everything right...You have all the time and right to do it safely...no Rush....they give you a Rigger to help guide in the Loads...you have either Hand Signal...or Radio Contact at all times...Then They put you in this Test Scenario...No Rigger...no Spotter....no Idea how far the distances are between the 55 Gallon Drums that you have to Lower the Ball into one(which is 6 inches bigger than the Ball)....then start swinging and booming to drop the Ball into the next Barrel...and you have 1 1/2 minutes to complete it....then theres the Obstacle Course....where you have a 1200 pound weight on the Hook and you have to boom up and swing...and boom down and swing this weight through the Zigzag Course...without knocking any Tennis Balls off the 1 1/4" PVC Pipe Posts...and to top it off...they throw in a Stop Watch....and tell You to hurry...because you only have 2 minutes to run the Course...in one Direction...the turn around and do it in reverse..........wish me luck........
Wolf Watcher:
YOU CAN DO IT LIKE A THOUSAND TIMES BEFORE. JUST REMEMBER THEY NEED YOU CAUSE THE JOB ALWAYS GOES THRU THE OPERATOR!! Joe
