@@DodgeMuscle yes

And when you need to run a mobile op. What are you gonna do? Put down barrels every 30min and pick them back up?? No sir.

@@cielmylordphantomhive5346 We run mobile operations 24/7 and barrel our closures every single day but I'll admit it's on the busiest highway in the world. The shit I've seen out there it is 100% worth it. If it's too much work you don't have enough guys or enough crash trucks simple as that. Emergency closures like accidents and disabled vehicles obviously don't get barrels unless they're extended though.

Yeah most of those barrels would be considered defective here, they're only using one tire skin per barrel, and a bunch of dinky pylons - which are not considered a traffic control device in my area. Wouldn't want to work for a boss that doesn't take road worker safety seriously. Also we build our barrels with an attenuator truck behind us and just throw them out of the truck while moving. Much more efficient and safe than what they're doing.

It’s how we are trained for temporary traffic control (securing car crashes, hazmat spills, downed trees, and other unplanned events). The thought is, you would rather a driver hit a cone to hopefully grab their attention to correct themselves, instead of rear ending you in the truck.

good luck

@@jrummyjs thanks. Long days. Been told I'll never know what time I'll be getting off work.

@@YpapayY yeah when i was working with these guys id average about 3 hours of sleep a night but i doubt you will have to experience that.

How's it going?

I definitely quit that job. I went back to old job of 20 years.

Well there was nothing easy about it mentally dealing with dumbasses. Then you get about three hours a sleep a night while working 20 hours a day sometimes then your on your feet all day and if your flagging your on your feet with out really getting to move. But that was my experience. I always told ppl it takes a special kind of stupid to do it. I got out of it a few years ago. But it will teach you patience and understanding.

I don't think so I got out of that business a couple years ago

@@jrummyjs what’re you doing now?

@@nari_the_corpse6681 sorry for the late reply I'm a blast engineer now

Yes

@@jrummyjsdid u throw them away? I’ve taken some from job site dumpster before

@@Trafficcontrol16 I'm not sure what they did with them

​@@Trafficcontrol16we keep our out of service barrels for anything non regulated. Marking stuff within our yard, lanes for trucks on the closed work site, etc.

@@SCUMBYWORM makes sense.

No idea I haven't worked that job in a couple years but I think they were around 300 a pop

Hey, nice to see u here

@@Trafficcontrol16 same you watch other people deploy traffic control devices to?

It's getting so cold I'm actually going to pick up some gloves today.

Oh when I worked for them i think it was like 21.50

And when they get stuck

max is still alive sadly the the guy talking the background the owner of maxed passed away a week or so after this video was shot.

portable toilets

No straight piped from the cat back removed the sucba tank and muffler.

Thanks man I would if I had more footage I'm in the blasting business I will be making a vid of that as well.

Yeah I used to go down the road with a clicker haha

A ride through and a buddy in the passenger seat lol

Haha I never do my hands heal themselves gloves don't. Why waste the money. I'm not in traffic control anymore I'm now in the blasting industry my boss is always telling to use gloves.

@@jrummyjs Your hands will regret it when you're older. I'll just let the leather take the damage.

@@anglerstube8021 yeah your probably right.

@@jrummyjs not even about that.. you should just keep clean

Gloves are for the weak brother lol

I agree. Natural sounds of the job would be way better.

i like the music soul dive cassa

Thanks and no didn't the nd filter was pretty dark so I couldn't see much thru the water.
