Bricklayers have been doing Precast for over 50 years, what can they say. We are skilled and productive.

Oiler is part of the crane crew dedicated to the transport build up operation Rigger is someone who selects the equipment to make the lift. An oiler can also be a rigger. Two different positions of work. Most companies will have a dedicated rigger added to the job if the customer wants the crane company to take responsibility of the rigging.

@@ryanburbridge thank you good explanation, my 1st cdl job tittle was called an oiler, driving to jobsites and fueling and doing pm on all company equipment with a 1000gal tanker that had oils and fluids except atf This was non union though

Bay crane is huge

That’s becoming more and more common.

What are you going on about? You think union operators are sitting around? Ha ha. Let them keep feeding you that BS!

@@ryanburbridge I could certainly be wrong. However, I was told it just depends on where you go. Seeing someone clean his windshield for him spoke for itself. I know about operator responsibilities of course, but please, enlighten me.

@@ryanburbridge seeing someone clean his windshield spoke for itself. I'm speaking on what I've been told. I was told it probably depends on who you work for. Enlighten me please

@@russellpeffer7736 well most union crane companies are private and for profit. Labor is expensive so they usually get rid of worthless people. But as men working to provide for our families most men don’t like worthless men so we police ourselves as well. You show up late your ostracized. You leave equipment a mess and any real man will call you out. What a union provides is a written contract that is printed and distributed. Every member and signatory employer know the contract and is held to the contract. As a union member we don’t have to put up with random whims of bosses or owners. If they want something they try to get it put into the contract. We go to work like other non union operators we just get paid more on average and have better benefits. We still have to deal with stupid customers that want a small crane to do big crane work lol

Crane signals ONLY!!! Ha ha

Doing what the training facility trained. And using the ones the training staff wants will make crane 1 easier his 3rd year

Where are you located?

@Modern Tradesman Florida. Went to engineerd union in Tampa. Need class A, though I have my NCCCO already. Take written test next week, then driving.

How do I get into this?? I have my class A

Google what IUOE Local covers the area you live and reach out to them!

Just got dispatched to my first ever job with 181 as an oiler today, just graduated high-school and was a direct entry

Iuoe local 17 here

Have orientation with the 181 next week! Y’all stay pretty busy?

Pay is going to depend on your geographical area(different all over the country). Call the local that’s near you and they can get you all of the info!

Thank you for the support!

So you’re IUOE?

You're a big bad operator/rigger. The best there is. We get it.

Wes, it really kinda depends on where you are located. This was shot in the Chicagoland area where apprentices make $26-$48/hr. Other parts of the country could be less or more. Like Igor said in the video, hit up the operators union that covers the area you live and as for more info.

Thank you for the support! We are hoping to get the chance to get invited to some schools to talk about this kind of stuff!

That’s good practice!

Mia, that’s so exciting! Just pay attention to your surroundings and listen to your operator! Where did you start your apprenticeship?

@@ModernTradesman My apprenticeship is with the IUOE local 428. The contract is with Bragg, for now.

@@ModernTradesman I really don't have much interest in cranes TBH, the CAT excavator is what stole my heart! 😍🤤😁

I have been down to your local and you have a great thing going down there in AZ!

I saw an ad for a oiler position and they said that that they train you to get your CDL is that good?

I believe it was yes

No it's an LTM 1200-5.1

Updates are coming!

Great question! He absolutely can make the switch to become the crane operator. During his apprenticeship, he will learn and be trained in the classroom as well as he will work along side a skilled trademan(the crane operator). Once he has received the training and passed the tests to get his crane licenses, he can be in the seat of the crane full time!

I am definitely working on some new videos! I am working on locking in a few more trades to film with! Hoping to get some new content up in the near future!

She is definitely good people, and a very hard worker!

Thanks!

Really appreciate the support! We hope this content helps some people, as well as shows people what some of these trades do!

Who did he get the training from?

Man, you’re on top of it! Lol

@@ModernTradesman bringing my ‘A’ game Chris! lol except I still haven’t placed a preorder… thanks for the reminder in the video!!

Thanks for the support! Glad you like the content!

It is! Fulton Market

@@ModernTradesman I’m a bricklayer in Chicago and just started doing that. Crazy

That’s awesome! How you liking bricklaying and precast?

@@ModernTradesman it’s hard work but I enjoy it. The precast we are doing is new to bricklayers and is pretty easy. Most pieces are 150lbs heavy one are 300+ those one suck. I looked your video up before I started to try and have an idea of what I’d be doing. So thanks for making the video

Nice! Well congrats on the new career and glad to hear the video helped. Stay safe!

It is! Fulton Market

Thanks for the support! More content coming and there will be a big announcement in the coming weeks!
