Dont even bother counting your "years of experience" before whatever age you were when you pulled out of the yard in whatever pump, (solo and licensed). Any time before that, you were not an operator you were a helper or an observer. 30 year old guys that say they have 20 years experience sound like thier full of shit, or cannot do math? I am 36 meters old and have been an operator half of my life, March will be 18 yrs. I pulled out of the yard at age 18 but dont consider the years prior to that "experience" because it was mostly washing and parking pumps, and cleaning clamps and chipping hoppers? |

hey boof, that old pump never smelt so good, fresh flowers and new baby, i can still recall the odour. your doing ok but i am hoping that you start doing some pumping that has a bit more character about it rather then the boring pics you post here, love ya and missing ya. do me a favour and post a pic of your melon here for me, a typical sideshow bob shot, doing his shit. |

Nice...theirs alot of other young operators! Thats pretty cool. Good for you guys... Alot of young ones are afraid to get off their ass and work.
Now what kind of problems do you guys deal with on a daily basis for being young weather its with customers or with the concrete pumping company your working for?
Im 21 and proved myself of running the 60m and their 52m recently. Never had any trouble but man talk about get discriminated against by some customers. |

Just a tip. No one is counting years of experience here. You are the one starting shit about, "experience". Save the lecture and your ego trip. Im tired of hearing shit like this. |

Im not that young anymore LOL. Me and my brother have been around and run pumps with are dad from the age of 12. We both have been running pumps alone from the age 16 years old. When i was 18 . I thought i new it all LOL. Then i work one day with a older operator from another company, From that point on i allways had respect for sesend operators. Were both in are 50 now. And we learn something all the time. There are things you younger operators will NEVER see or learn. Pumps in the later 60 were not much fun to run. But we didn't know any better. we had a few pumps we had to build . Called a stiff boom. BOB knows what theys are LOL. I have 10 more years and i won't look back. |
