My duties as an operator at Crocker Crane are to operate any crane from a 22-ton to a 275-ton crane as needed, but I am actually assigned to a 275-ton Grove crane. My duties as an assigned operator include keeping up with the maintenance. If there is no crane work for the day, I am sent to drive a tractor and trailer. My duties as a driver are making sure I do the proper pre-trip before I log into the truck and trailer. If neither crane work nor truck driving work for the day, I might have to go out as a certified flagger or rigger for a 22-ton to a 900-ton crane, depending on the scope of work for the day. I also have the duty of doing pre-trips and post-trips on any equipment I take out for the day, whether it's a crane or tractor trailer, and do an inspection on all the rigging, depending on what is being used for the day.

Duties as a crane operator at Davis Crane include operating cranes ranging from a 22-ton to a 110-ton capacity. I am assigned to a 110-ton Grove crane as the assigned operator and am in charge of maintaining it. This includes performing proper pre-trip and post-trip inspections. If there is no crane work for the day, I may have to drive a tractor-trailer. I am also responsible for conducting the appropriate pre-trip and post-trip inspections before taking it out to a job. If not needed as an operator or truck driver, I may also have to go rig or flag for another crane, ranging from a 22-ton to a 900-ton capacity.

My scope of work for CanaTex is operating a crane from 140 ton to 170 ton. Also, make sure I keep up with the daily inspections prior to each shift. It is oilfield-related, mostly stationary work on frac sites or the completion side of a drill site. My work schedule working here is 14 days on and 7 days off. Out of town work. Reason for leaving was the company closed down the crane division.

My duties as a crane operator at Davis Crane include operating anything from a 22-ton to a 60-ton crane. I am assigned to a 60-ton Grove crane and am in charge of keeping up with daily maintenance inspections, as well as conducting proper pre-trip and post-trip inspections before leaving the yard. I am also certified as a rigger or flagger for any crane needed, and can drive a tractor and trailer if needed. I always ensure that I do the proper pre-trip and post-trip inspections.

Owner operator leased to Red Wagon Express LLC, mostly hauling air conditioner units all over Texas. Would also go about once a week to one of the following states: Louisiana, Mississippi, Arkansas, and Oklahoma.

My duties at Davis Crane as a truck driver were to do the proper pre-trips and post-trips as needed, follow the crane I was assigned to the job sites, and help rig up and rig down. When on standby at jobs, I started getting familiar with rigging and flagging, as well as operating a crane. After 4 years of doing that, I became a certified crane operator. Once I became an operator, I was assigned to a 220-ton crane, and my duties were to keep up with the maintenance and proper daily inspections.
