Posted on May 28, 2009 under heavy Equipment Trailers | No Comment
This run was one of those trying runs where we just can’t seem to get a break. While loading the Volvo 360 a hydraulic hose busted causing and hour and a half delay getting started. Near the NY line on I-84 in Danbury, CT we blow a tire. Luckily no additional damage was done either to my pilot car or other vehicles. Lost another couple of hours out of the day waiting on the service truck to replace the tire for us. We finally finished the run successfully without further incident.

Is it hard to become a union operating engineer (iuoe)? aka heavy equipment operator?
Posted on May 27, 2009 under Heavy Equipment | 3 Commentsi live in kansas city and have talked to a few guys that work with the local 101 and they dont have much to say about it. im only 20 yrs old and have very little Heavy Equipment experience and most union workers are older. any advice?
no links please
I'd call the Hall. They'll be the best ones to tell you what the expectations, requirements, etc are.
Since you don't really have much experience, I'd ask about being a "Pre-Apprentice". In other trades, they'll send you out off the C list as a Pre-Apprentice so you get a better idea what the job is like.
In a lot of the Trades, most of the members are in the baby boomer generation. Since all of them are getting close to retirement age, there could be a shortage of tradesmen if the Halls don't fill their lists and recruit more Apprentices.

Construction Equipment Operator Job Outlook
Posted on May 26, 2009 under Heavy Equipment Training | 3 Comments
The job of construction equipment operators mainly involves the use of machinery such as forklifts, cranes and earthmovers. Most of these machines have automatic systems and the operator only has to move the levers or operate switches for completing the specified task. The most modern machines used in construction are fully computerized and the operator is required to have the necessary training and knowledge for operating these.
Computerized machines have made it quite easy for construction equipment operators to undertake complex construction tasks, such as moving heavy machinery and placing it at a predetermined spot. The equipment operators are required to have patience and dexterity for handling such complex and time-consuming tasks. They are also required to have the right kind of training and qualification for understanding the complex systems that are nowadays present in most construction machines and equipment.
Earnings of construction equipment operators:
The operators can find employment at any construction site, be it highway construction, bridge construction, railroad construction or even a building. These operators can work also as pile-driver operators, paving operators, surfacing and even tamping equipment operators.
In 2002, the median national hourly earning of such operators was $16.94. The data sample collected from all the states of the country shows that the top ten percent of the operators had registered earnings of more than $28.93/hour. The next fifty percent earned in the range of $12.96 to $22.98, while the lowest ten percent earned less than $10.61/hour.
The earnings of the operators also vary from industry to industry. As per the statistical data collected in 2002, operators employed at highway, street and bridge construction sites earned around $19.81/hour, those employed by specialty trade contractors earned around $17.56/hour, while those employed at utility system construction sites earned around $17.48/hour. Operators employed at civil engineering construction sites earned around $16.88/hour and those employed for local government projects earned around $14.88/hour.
Future job outlook of construction equipment operators:
Based on key economic indicators, the job outlook of the seems bright in the next five to ten years. One of the reasons for their increased demand is the lack of adequate training programs for individuals, who want to make a career in construction.
The demand for construction equipment operators is expected to grow in the next five to ten years, in line with the growth of the overall construction industry. This demand is not affected by the improvements in construction technology that helps in raising worker productivity and reduces the demand for these workers.
Job opportunities are set to increase with the anticipated increase in population. This fuels the demand for new homes, industries, health care centers and office buildings. Opportunities will also be available at new highway, bridge and street construction sites in the next few years. A number of structures in the country that were built during the last fifty to sixty years will have to be repaired or replaced. This will lead to a further demand for construction equipment operators in future.

Diesel mechanics are commonly known as bus or truck mechanics. They generally work on a wide range of diesel engines, like those found on buses, trucks, bulldozers, cranes, tractors, RVs and even trains. The work involves tuning up and maintenance, to guarantee the smooth functioning of the engine.
Diesel Mechanic Schools train and prepare the students to pursue exciting and satisfying careers as Diesel Service Technicians, Auto-Diesel Mechanics or Diesel Mechanics. Training incorporates the use of diesel truck engines, Heavy Equipment vehicles and bus fleets. In addition, they learn all about automotive engines, repairing of diesel fuel ignition systems, brakes, transmission, emissions diesel power trains, electronic technology fundamentals and advanced diagnostic systems. Graduates acquire degrees and diplomas. Diesel Mechanic Schools provide students with the necessary practical training, to prepare them for the future. A diesel mechanic will be trained to use a wide assortment of power tools, lathes, machine tools and grinding machines.
Career Highlights:
a) A career as a Diesel Mechanic offers fairly high earnings and the opportunity to repair.
b) Prospects are likely to be excellent for people who graduate from a formal diesel mechanic training program or school.
c) National certification is the acknowledged standard of accomplishment for diesel mechanics.
Training and Development:
Even though most people are eligible to become diesel mechanics through years of training, authorities suggest the completion of an official diesel engine mechanic training program. Employers prefer hiring people who have completed formal diesel engine training programs.
One of the features of the Directory of Schools is the Diesel Repair School Program. Such programs last for 6 months to 2 years and provide certification or an associate degree on completion of the course. Programs differ in the level of practical training that they offer on equipment. Some programs provide about 30 hours of training every week on equipment, while other programs provide more of classroom training. Training establishes a concrete foundation when it comes to modern diesel technology, repairing of diesel engine vehicles and equipment that technicians will come across on the job. In addition, training programs develop the skills required to understand technical manuals and to converse with colleagues and customers.
Besides the practical features of the training, many institutions teach communication skills, customer service, a basic understanding of the physics and logical thinking. More and more employers have been working intimately with representatives of training programs and supplying instructors, using the latest equipment, methods and tools.
Employment opportunities:
In 2000, the number of jobs held by diesel mechanics reached 300,000. About 30% of these workers repaired buses, trucks and other diesel powered equipment for clients. The clientele comprised of vehicle equipment dealers, automotive rental agencies or self-governing automotive repair shops. Another 30% worked under local and national trucking companies, while 20% serviced the buses, trucks and other gear of bus lines, public transport companies, schooling organizations and central, state or local governments.
The remaining diesel mechanics serviced vehicles and other equipment for manufacturing and construction companies. A fairly small percentage was self-employed.
