My parents own a 2nd generation family owned construction company here in Minnesota. The first time I ever dug a hole, I was 5 years old and sitting on my dads lap in the tractor hoe. I'm 18 now, and during the summer I work full time there. I would say about 65% of the time I'm an operator. I have operated almost every piece of equipment we have. I'm pretty good at finish dozer work, but you can't beat the fun of a D8L. I have operated pretty much everything from a D3C to a D8L, 308C to a 325C, 922B to a 980G, and tractor hoe, skid loader, No. 14 to a 143H, and 4 wheel drive Steigers. This summer i'm trying to get my dad to let me learn on the 627s.

 

I'm only 18 years old and all I do everyday is pull levers for my dads company. I run pretty much everything from dozer,excavator,loader,dump truck,low boy, scraper, grader, etc. I'm an operator through the 612 union

 

I was born into operating being only 16 i think iam good at it and always like to improve my dad owns a company we have a cat d4 dozer and a case 580 backhoe. our family has a sandpit that i work at in the summer i run a cat 980loader cat225 trackhoe cat 966 loader and a cat d8 dozer. i love pulling levers and moving dirt

 

I am a Union Operator on the pipeline. I operate hoe's, dozers(angle blade), winch cat, side boom, blade, rubber tired hoe, loaders and most anything else for movin dirt. My last job I put 1247 hours on a hoe that I got with plastic still on the seats in 2 1/2 months. Best part is that the bucket hour meter only logged 199 hours. I started in the construction end on scrapers and loaders and dozers and backhoe's.
