I am a 1st step Crane apprentice, but came into the union as an apprentice dirt donkey. So I got 5 weeks of dirt training, but missed out on crane training. I am coming up on 1000 hours working as an oiler (110 ton Linkbelt 218 conventional crawler). I have been pretty lucky to get decent seat time on our link belt 80/80 (80 ton rough terrain hydro) and our 22 ton boom truck.
I have been pumping the 2 operators I work with for all the info I can, but feel I need to round out my knowledge before going into my branch change board interview (scheduled for Dec 18)...and starting the certification process.
I was looking @ the NCCCO website and thought of their books, but @ $40 a pop ($ kinda tight) I figured I better ask what you all suggest for reading material.
Thanks in advance.
