The Adventures of a Boom Truck Driver

[redneckchevy9]

I was thinking I would just keep adding to this thread of all my daily adventures working @ the lumberyard driving my boom truck. Always different sh*t to haul around for customers.

Shingle job yesterday



Easy pickin' right after lunch



All nice & neat

Monday 9/12/16 Not do much happening.......ground drop a LOAD of shingles for a church here in town. Yes I know, I was really heavy, but it was only 2 blocks away.



This was my load that I didn't get till 3pm. So by the time I pulled it & loaded, it was 4. Got to the job site @ 4:30 and grabbed the first piece of rock @ 4:45. It was a kinda late night. 125 - 54"x12'x1/2", 80 - 4'x12'x5/8", & 30 - 4'x8'x1/2" MR. Not the biggest load, but still enough.

Please excuse my filthy truck It's been a long couple with lots of rain, muddy job sites & some gravel roads

Another ho-hum day on this Friday. Been busy @ my desk trying to catch up on some houses I've been drawing up. Had 2 easy booms today.





These guys have been having me deliver their OSB like this for a few years now. Putting new sheeting over existing old/original roof sheeting.

This was from earlier this summer, but I shows me pickin' some steel panel at an old farmstead that is getting a complete facelift including all the out buildings & farm house.
