Does anybody know what the going rate per hour a big boom operator makes in the denver area. Also what is the work like there.(lot or a little)Thank you for your time.

Im not sure of the rates anymore in Denver but back in 94 i was making 18/hr on a 36meter.A friend of mine still works there and last I heard they are staying very busy all year. I will try and get hold of him regarding the pay scale.

Thanks any info would be helpful.Thank you for your time.

42m-61m (20-29) depending on what company you choose. I run a pump here in denver. We stay busy unless the weather is bad. If you have anymore questions shoot me a email and I will help you out.wce101020@yahoo.com

Used to be, and probably still is great concrete and educated mixer drivers. I wish all the GA drivers would vacation there; might rub off.Man for man, the best operators [b]I[/b] have seen anywhere.

Payed in relation to stick lenth ? I work in the interior of british columbia , I get paid the same for all the work I do,, Mech ,line pump ,slab jacking , 28 mtr to 42 mtr, some days I may run two or more machines depending on the job.some opperators think running a big stick should get paid more ,,,,???? they generally work less as it takes to long to move and most the hose work is done by the labourers,,,So ,,, The question is why do big sticks get paid more ??

Some day go out with a BIG stick operator and you will see why they get paid more. You really have to have your shit together when you are on a big stick! I know, I run a little one. :)

i just left denver about 6 months ago because the cost of living doesnt match your pay scale on any size pump you run i still talk to a couple of guys they say you have your good weeks and your bad one you need to come east thats where your money is

I beg to Differ, If you cant live in Denver on 29per hour how can you live in Jersey or DC for 31per hour?Non union shops in Sab diego are paying upto 36 per hour.San Diego is expensive to live, I did a roommate situation, 500 a month rent in a very nice place with a private pool and only one roommate.after all my expenses I was sending on average $ !,000 a week back to my wife.I guarantee you you could live quit comfortable in any of the high pay areas.Unless of course you need your large screen , new Bmw, and all the toys every time you start a new job.

BB in San Diego pays you long boom boys 36. I believe Western will match that.Merli of course is Union and when I talked to Johnny last he told me what the scale was but I dont remember. 34? 36? not sure. Anyway I was on a 42 meter last year in San Diego and I was at 32.
