When you look around at the morning tailgate meeting does any feel that there isn't any young blood in a grader anymore? Lots of the younger guys I find get frustrated reall quick... Wondering whats going to happen in the next 20 years???
My friends.. in the next 20 years you will be operating a computer not a grader...
In the present time though, to learn to operate a grader requires great patience. You evolve over time. Some can only come so far and that's it. Believe me as I've seen it many times. You either have it or you don't. Doesn't matter if you're 55 years old or 20 years old. If you're young and get bored operating a grader then you should be on someting else. You can't learn if you're bored. Some use the excuse that operating a grader is boring because they realize that they just can't do it. Been operating a grader all my life and never got bored. Loved every minute..
Anyway.. nuff of my morning rant...just my 02 cents
Notice:...I never said anything...............yet!
Graders particularly are an interesting bit of gear to run 'cos more often than not, you are leaving finished product behind you. I'd suggest that if you are ever finding any operating boring, you may need to look at the quality of the work you are leaving behind you and/or your attitude.
