We are training our female dispatcher as a backup operator for our line pump business. I would love to have good women as operators. They are probably better than many men!

I knew a girl operator in Ft Worth. She was a fox but when you got right doun to it she was still a girl. Being a operator is a tuff job it is a mans work. Anybody can run a boom but bein an operator is a full time job for a man. Jess telling it like it is.

conco in the cali bay area has a nice 40ish blonde lady operator who runs a,28 I believe....she bailed me out one time on a pour where my outriggers would not fit the tight access, narrow footprint on the final move of a hillside pour. she was very knowledgeable and professional....................I was impressed ;plive to pumppump to liveThis message was edited by Pumpitude on 8-14-05 @ 7:46 PM

 There have been female operator's for a long time, in the mid 80's in California. One worked for Merli, and I think the other worked for a big GC that had thier own pumps. I dont think they lasted More than 3 or 4 years they tend to date male operators, get pregnant and have babies.
