Dozer575. for the first time i totally agree with you, as a business owner and a foreman at times for a different company, I have seen all to much of that revovling door syndrome on big jobsites. Hire a guy that says he knows what he is doin, and ending up having to train him all over again.
One guy once told him he run cat for 5 years. I hired him, got him on site. Asked him if he ever run a D8H before... He said "Man I was pretty much born on one, So i said well go get #3 warmed up. I was in the job trailer doin some paper work and about 20 mins later he comes in and says "the damn thing won't start" Puzzled i walked over to it and checked it out. I asked if he knew where the master switch was, The damn moroun didn't have the master on because he couldn't find it.............. He still pulls a sheepfoot for us in the summertimes hahaha.
Nothing PO's me more thow than guys that are told to do one thing, start doin it, then 10 minutes later they are off doin something else. Or having to constantly show guys what to do, when thier common sense should just kick in without me having to get on the radio, or drive over and tell them.
I love it when I have a smaller jobsite, 10 or less machines and we have all our best operators that know how make things work. Like a well oiled machine..... quite often then we can get another machine lowbedded in so i can run something too, rather than baby sitting all day.
