Serious question, anyone else had a load start swinging on a windy day in Lubbock?

Pro tip: check your outrigger pads before the inspector shows up, not while he's standing there

Rigging buddy told me to grease the swing bearing every 40 hours and I figured it was overkill

I switched from radio to hand signals on a blind pour in Seattle, and I'm still not sure I picked right

Serious question, why does the site in Tacoma run 2 riggers on a 90 ton pick?

I finally stopped booming down with the trolley centered, and my swing got way smoother

Picked a 40-ton RT over a 60-ton AT for a tight pour in Reno, and my gut was halfway right

A 30 year guy on my first crew said never trust the load chart past 80 percent, and a near tip in Amarillo proved him right
