Owner/Operator

Putz 32

I run a putz 36z for my employer.

Owner / Operator Putz 36. Been in business one year this month. Had the best week ever (10 jobs 600 yards) / best month ever ( 26 jobs)! No regrets and still loving it. 

I am officially a Schwing 52m r&f oper,but more often than not run everything in our fleet.  Schwings 39 &31ht and then the Putzs 28z,32r&f and 46m r&f.I work for a co.that has the most; of the people who dont give a ---- than any other co.i have ever seen.Allways out and very undependable.But the bright side is I LOVE TO PUMP.Nothing like the sound of a pump (strolling)pumping in the early AM.God knows im Hooked.More info than  asked for; i know.But thats life well mine anyway.

YA!!! I OWN AND OPERATE A 32 ELBA RS2000 CONVERTED TOO SIDE PIPE  LOVE IT!!!

OYEA I FEEL THE SAME WAY CHUCK CANT GET ENOUGH,BEEN HOOKED FOR 15YRS FINALY GOT THE BOOM MY 14YR OLD SON HAS BEEN AROUND IT SO LONG HE GOT HOOKED TOO( LOL)!!!

I operate a 55m Schwing r&f for the heartless greedy SOB that owns it, been in the game for 14 years and hate every second of it, from the midnight pours to the asshat hosemen to the greedy boss who never bats an eye to work you so many hours you are a hazard to yourself and everyone else around you. If there was anything else I could do other than this and still make a decent living i would be gone in a second but for now I am stuck.

started out on a 32m putz, now operating a 36m Reed.  Love the pump and the job!!!

owner/operator/salesman/mechanic we run 2 reed hp 30's line pumps, trying to run the numbers to get our first boom pump. Love pumping and all the aggravation that comes with it. 2 year old company no doing too bad, and not getting rich, making ends meet. 

Schwing   47meter. sweet ride.

I'm with you on the greedy owner,here it takes someone to quit to get more $$ .Until this last week we were way below the average for this area.It took a oper. to move on before we were bumped up to close to average. I just don't get it why not stay above the aver,to keep and get good people? 

Owner operator 2000, Schwing 34, and 2007 750-18X.  Been on my own for some 9 months now and doing great.

I own an operate ITC 14M BOOM AND SCHWING 28M GATE VALVE 3 YEARS in business from puerto rico and ACPA MEMBER AND ACPA CERTIFIED OPERATOR. LOVE THE JOBS AND EVERY DAY IS SOMETHING NEW TO LEARN

Well Started with a squeeze as a pup then now A Concord line high pressure then Concord 20m then Concord 26m then Putz 32 the Reich 37m then Schwing 36/39 then Concord 43 then Schwing 42 then Concord 50, All trainned up and train others on. I use to run the Thompson go anywheres and conversions and so on. Now an office bum.

Feww I am tired. Hey Bob no accidents or flips no throwing placers around also.And no punch through, amazing for such a chance tacker. Over 35 years. Also ran heavy haul, thats real heavy haul 200,000 lbs 9axle 14ft wides, no dumps no damage. Sorry all but Bob seems to think we are cowboys, and common sense and experiance make the rules. By By.
