c/crane-operators

I finally showed my apprentice my old rigging charts. His face when he saw we did math on napkins was priceless.

Misread a signal from a temp worker last week

Almost swung the load wrong. Now I make sure to go over basic signals with anyone new on site.

Got into snapping crane photos, but glare from the cab always screws it up lmao

I finally started trusting the crane's computer for load charts instead of my old handwritten notes.

After a veteran operator showed me how the digital system caught a miscalculation I missed, I realized it's not about losing skill, it's about adding a safety net.
