Picture showing the dash of the crane operator cab. The display on the clock says 09:12, it was 08:12
The clock in the crane taunts me. It's an hour off due to daylight savings time changes and you can't change it without a day code from Liebherr (the clock is tied to data recordation in the crane's version of a psuedo-blackbox)...

POV view of the operating seat of a Broderson IC-400, 25ton, carry deck crane. Shows a large screen, 2 joysticks, and 3 button panels
Fanciest carry deck I've ever been in... Jeez.
It was super annoying with the transmission and steering mode controls though. Other than that, a really nice operating machine. Shame it's a rental and not in our fleet, oh well

Blessed to have an opportunity to have an interview with the @aflcio.org at #TWBN and speak on what’s becoming a tradewoman in the @iuoe.bsky.social has done not just for me, my son, family and community and has given me a voice as an indigenous woman to elevate and advocate for communities. #iuoe

Feral tiger Bob wearing a normal hi-vis vest that is too big for him and my hardhat while holding on and hanging from some steel latticework.
Just Hang In There for this Tiger Tuesday. I have to survive on this job for another 2 weeks...
Drawn by the awesome @felisrandomis.bsky.social as similar to those "Hang in there" cat posters! Fitting for today...

Kudos to #IUOE National for including #paidmaternityleave in their priorities. Way to punctuate the last day of women’s history month! #Unionsmatter #progress #construction
What's the quality of the fabrication that goes into the crane attachments over your head? Do it right, or not at all.

A letter from the union president acknowledging a lifetime of service. A button is attached to the letter.
Today I received my dad's #union Local 150 #IUOE lifetime membership pin in the mail. It doesn't escape me that #Local150 gave me the privileged upbringing I had.... lessons, private school, college wo debt, vacations, etc. It's the greatest gift my dad gave me. *If you can join a union, DO IT. * 🧡
A little communication, that's all I want. I arrive on site and learn that this is gonna be a super long day with a ton of picks and multiple setups in addition to the 2+ hour drive to and from site. I don't mind the work, but I would like to mentally prepare and make plans

I've been on site for almost 4 hours in this rendering plant operating a carrydeck and haven't set the first piece of this catwalk system yet... It's going to be a long day...

Brand new Tadano GT-1200XL-2 crane painted orange and grey
Made it back to Ohio in one piece! Was a nice trip if only just a little stressful trying to make appointment times with bridge monitors and escorts yesterday. That part was exhausting. It's an interesting looking beast but it drives nice

Morning!
It's gonna be a LONG day... I'm starting my morning heading to the port of Baltimore Maryland to get our company's new crane and then begin the trek back to Ohio! Got a playlist of podcasts ready for it though, let's do this.

What is up with my recent job sites and poor cell reception while having to sit and wait!? It's better than the site yesterday, but not by much
#cranelife #crane #operator #iuoe
Uhg, on site running a crane at a Facebook data center and sitting here waiting for site prep so I can set up and trucks to arrive to unload and set vaults. I normally don't mind the sitting and waiting part of my job, but the cell reception sucks out here

I thought today was going to be a short day at work and that I'd get to enjoy my weekend for once. Nope. Instead it's a somewhat stressful gig that was also more stuff than I was led to believe. Oh well, that's the crane rental life...

I am worn out. Finally made it back to Ohio and checked into my hotel... The drive from Newark to the OH border was just brutal when you can only go 53mph. #cranelife #IUOE
This was a long drive out to Newark NJ riding in the passenger seat of a semi... Currently settling down to sleep in the hotel for the night and then off to pick up the brand new crane tomorrow morning! #IUOE #CraneLife #Liebherr
What's funny is I operate both depending on the need. I normally run our 155T Liebherr AT (the top one in the meme is an LTM 1450-8.1, mine is an LTM 1130-5.1) but this past weekend I ran an IC-200 Broderson (slightly bigger than the meme), and today I'm running a 7.5T forklift. #CraneLife #IUOE
