Hello sir I need Crane job

Lol you call it what you want if you were the one doing that work.

I did oil and gas for 10 Years and it’s shit work.

The shit work still makes a decent living and there’s little to no responsibility. Sometimes it better to stay a helper

Grunts don't mind. They all definitely earn their money. You can unintentionally kill a lot of people if you screw up with one of these things.

The man worked his way on up. He use to do the grunt work.

Kissing ass is different

Exactly, a chance can go a long way.

Aka, he was plugged in.

how long u been looking for a job? i want to start learning iT but hesistant because job market@@user-bj8lg7fw3q

hes capping unless hes doing critical lifts than maybe 50 but they make around 35 in the oilfields

I was about to say. I’m only seeing at most 37 hr still tremendous pay

@@juanledesma6418 in downtown LA area it’s common for them to make 70-80 an hour. I met a crane operator at a job site and asked him about it. Crane and elevator guys make stupid money lol

​@juan ledesma He is operating the crane and transporting it. That's one less guy that needs to be hired.

@@juanledesma6418 orrr you just don’t know how much operators make

fk it just be on point

Yeah bruh. I do the same shh an thats exactly what I said to my boss when he gave me a 5 dollar raise and I make lil less than half what he makes....at least someone understands

Yeah it's manslaughter charge if you operate knowingly that there was high winds or storms, etc.

I was going to be an inside wireman and rhe starting was like 26+ i think and ended at like 60-70+ just to lay wire on the inside of buildings. It was union so with benefits.

@@mickeystime2873 How does someone get into the field of doing stuff like that? Seems like the guys hauling the cranes gotta get lucky with chance or have a lot of experience. Same goes for that position as well? I’m trying to get into a labortrade job that pays well but idk where tf to start honestly. But these typical 9-5 bs wages are not cutting it anymore.

@@grxy5924 so i was in a high school program and they took me to local colleges and etc, there are programs you can do before technical college or trade school that will help you get your certifications and help you get a job or into a union. My school also ran one of those programs to help people get jobs or into school. After you graduate these more advanced schools for the actual learning associated with unions will pay you like a full time job to learn and then you’ll get a union job after with benefits. I can’t remember because its been a couple years and my memory is shit but it may have been the union’s that actually pay you to learn and be in their school and then give you a job or it was a technical college but i think it was actually the union because I remember the number but we also went to a couple handful of colleges. Theres a shortage of workers or was so they’re paying and a lot because nobody wants to do hard work anymore, everyone is soft nowadays. I wanted to be an inside wireman and thats just an electrician inside there outside wireman like climbing poles and working with edison I actually had went to one of their training facilities and museums, theres labor like moving shit and bricks, you have to do a one week bootcamp 8 hours moving shit back and forth constantly and only taking 2-3 breaks like a regular job but in the heat and sometimes in the 90s, theres hvac or pipe insulators theres even a union for sprinker fitters. I remember different concrete unions as well and I forgot there are programs specifically for women to join and have all womens classes. Its really worth it bro 100% but one thing i have to add is you cant smoke weed whatsoever and they drug test you, that was my downfall and i got kicked out of school and ive been going downhill since.

324 in Detroit makes low $40s on the check. He’s probably telling you the amount with benefits which is maybe $80. Lots of bullshitting on jobs. Like fishing stories. I’m in 324

@@grxy5924 wind turbines. Trade school can be fully paid off within the first year of work if you’re smart. If you figure out how to tough it out long enough you’ll be making similar wages. I made around $8000 a month at the time I decided it wasn’t worth it for me

How is that going? Also exploring Schneider

@@Damsmh it's going great man I'm doing specialty training for the account I'm on right now, learning how to drive the Moffett which is basically a huge forklift. Next week I go out with my training engineer over the road for 5 days for my final week of training before I get my own truck. I'm on the national dedicated fleet

@@alexhowley9834yea the piggyback I use to work for a major supply company you just need to make space and take ur time, it’s a forklift with 2 extra steps basically

Goodluck to both of you guys!

I’m reading and practicing for my CDLs. I’m hoping to get a job making 8-10k a month. Any of y’all vets got some advice or tips?

No kidding lmao

Not hard to believe at all. It depends on the area $80/hr is what Nyc metro area guys make.

How would u recommend someone go about getting a career in crane operation ? Pay for a course at a school I’m guessing

@@katjerouac here in San Francisco they make 125/hour

@@MarioMartinez-vh4dv You can always get your rigging certification and work with cranes. Some operators will let you jump behind the controls if they trust you enough. Remember that it’s highly competitive and difficult to get into the system. Getting certified by going to a school does not mean you can get a job. Good luck to you.

@@katjerouac well yeah but 80/hr in nyc is just enough for rent down in the Sewers

My wifes son worked for them they dont make 80$ an hr he only made 35$ hr so this is a lie. You maybe able too find a crane job paying 80$ hr but he works for a union now only making 45-50hr so this guy in the video be lying and most crane operator claiming they make this much aint company operator maybe they own a crane or operator a crane for a family member who owns a crane or something or someone hired them for a job and they paying them contractor prices idk but im not sure i believe 80-85$ an hr its possible but the crane guys for sure dont pay that no way i have proof.

This guy has no experience he aint operating the crane hes driving the truck he hasnt earned his rights too operate the crane yet this guys a liar he definitely heard these numbers from some operator thats lying..

​@cryptonator1988 the crane guys went union but they probably didn't get the master agreement there LOCAL 12 Like me I'm a journeyman in the union making 58 an hr

Pause on the last sentence 😂

@@TheMactone 😭😭😭😭💯

Yeah my brother in law also would make anywhere from 3k to 4k a week with per diem.

@@TheMactone he loves big poles

That’s what he said 85 dollars an hour that’s about 4000 a week

for real? i want to do that

How can I do this?

@@MosesKReh just ask. They’ll give you a job. No experience needed.

Agreed

Did you make the next step?

Whered you get your ncco license?

He might not be smart enough to actually see and understand the long term benefits. Plenty of rat contractors that sell these guys the world but don't keep promises, or will only pay when they are actively lifting, then pay labor rates for the other hours. Far too many undereducated dudes out there believing the b.s. that unions are bad. Hmmm 🤔, who's telling you that and what pay, retirement, job security and insurance, are they giving you?? 😅

100% he will.

why? the union is a stepping stone, he makes way more than the union would ever pay him lmao

@@ab6153 ya ok

@@ab6153 Yeah right lmao!!!!! Believe what you want 😁

Isn’t TWIC mainly a shipyard thing?

@@koreygregory527 power plants shipyards and oil refineries Military bases

OSHA 40 is nice to have but not required by any means, we start our new guys in smaller residential jobs and work their way up to industrial. I started hanging trusses and AC units and after a year started working new factory construction, I just have my CDL, NCCO and OSHA 10. TWIC is really only necessary for government jobs which make up a fraction of the total work out there

Dammmmmn

Bay crane ?

When you make babk, you know you gettin paid.

Right 85 seems a bit low ok I know

Can you actually make good money out there? I’ve heard a lot of mixed answers but most notably being, you have to know people to even make decent money in alaska. Which makes sense i guess since it’s so rural out there you either have connections for a decent job or you don’t.

Hey bud I get what you mean and the trades are really good money but you also have to sacrifice many hours of work and sometime working out of town at a drop of a hat believe me coming from a tradesman it’s very taxing on the body and mentally and be exhausting what do you do is good and you impact kids lives depending on if your a good teacher or not assuming you are

@@cacacaca2632 of course pros and cons to everything, but I'm talking about it in purely financial terms. Those 5 years in college/grad school KEY years for retirement/future planning (your $ saved will double by age 55 if you start saving at 20 years old vs 25 yrs),... Not to mention the few hundred thousand dollar financial burden you get in place of it for the cost of education. So I guess for many trades the question is "are the physical demands/taxing worth it for more pay AND no college debt"... I think I know my answer haha. Education is supposed to be an "investment" both in time & money, so the return needs to be worth it. Our current college system has many misplaced priorities, and the result is many "average" people that get a degree but either aren't able to use it, just don't use it to work better paying jobs then their field, or are able to use it for a limited return on their tuition investment. Basically, I suggest that no teen seeks a college education unless they are absolutely sure of their career goals/requirements, and NEVER because "they thought college was what they were supposed to do because every adult says that".

Work smarter not harder

Lol 👌 probably 🤣

This made my 33 look like baby shitg

@@CZE3 I think what Samurai is saying is that you don’t get that many hours a week… or I could be wrong

@@aiiron right… which leaves your whole day free right? That means more money.

🤔

That’s not true. You can get in the IUOE through their apprentice program.

What company homie ? I’m going to school for ncco now

the goal is become a Union apprentice. look for local unions like plumbers or electrical. it's a 5 year program that will teach you everything you need to know. you don't need any experience but just a highschool diploma

The world is unfair unfortunately

But if he hurts someone he goes to jail for a very very long time.

@@Antonio-ti2he depends on the situation, crane operators don't just operate them alone, they need signalmen/dogman and follow instructions

Hey Brian are you in the construction industry?

@@TH-zm8oe yes Are you ? 30 years

@@briansullivan1621 yes I joined the tunnel workers union after I turned 19 last year I started with a full book so I’m Making 43 an hour when I’m above ground when I’m in a tunnel I make up to 50

I really just want to know if I should stick with it or should I change my trade. I’m only asking because I scroll through a lot of comments on videos about trades and how much they make and a lot of people say 42 an hour isn’t a lot. Sorry for bothering you I just want to get someone that’s been in the industry for a good amount of time opinion

But then add on the great benefits when it's union.

Local 100, screw unions. Big reason why consumers have to pay so much and why so many many companies leave industries. But hey you got yours, right.

@@hurt1704 no not yet. I’m on maternity leave but I did talk to a school.

@@erikadee8668 I’m Enrolled for west coast training crane school in august. Going to give it a go

Because what companies pay non union people isn’t always accurate. There’s also nothing stopping them from paying him 35 or 125 an hour. It’s what they feel he’s worth. As a union operator, i can tell you this varies greatly based on location. In Boston union laborers are over $40 an hour in some cities. Dirt work operators in the 50’s. Cranes are more plus you get a higher rate on how much stick you have out in some places. NYC is even higher. Don’t believe everything google tells you.

In ny they're begging for operators there's so much crane work here.

@@dzl6848 the problem here is that to many people apply since they train you with no experience and easily 100k a year. Way to many people apply and not enough jobs or people to train them . And California is a rich state that's constantly building and building and building !

@@TheTruelakersfan I'm in ny work for a crane outfit and can't get enough operators. Union too
