re: Questions about cranes (not the bird)

yeah, you're absolutely right, I don't understand why you're applying for a supervisors' position when you're coming to an internet message board full of strangers seeking answers to what should be common knowledge for someone seeking this position.

exactly what is wrong with construction these days ... a kid works on my job as a labor for two summers , goes to college and gets a degree in cm then gets hired on as an asst project manager and questions me about my job....gtfo

Jesus, dude. Maybe you should go learn about crane operation, not try to rig the test.

Normally, I don't care when people ask for homework help but this is ridiculous. Are you seriously asking for help on a test that gauges your knowledge of how to operate heavy machinery? Do you think you should be anywhere around a crane if you have no idea how to operate it?

I'm a site manager for one of the big 3 in BR and I pray to God you aren't trying this with us. Doesn't matter though because when you get to the field your lack of knowledge will stick out like a sore thumb. Take it from me, you will be much better off admitting you do not know something rather than trying to fool your supervisor. I see it everyday! In fact there is a poser sitting just down the hall that thinks he is on his way up. Payday is tomorrow and I will be letting him go because he obviously lied about his qualifications.

I would much rather train someone than have them f%&k something up.

so turner, CBI, or cajun?

I would think that you can find the answer to all of these questions in a manual. Maybe go look for that and find the answers yourself?
