    Some Amazing Drivers and Equipment Operators

    I guess this is the proper place for this.

    Back in an earlier life, I did layout surveying for all kinds of construction. I had the good fortune to witness some great operators who could do just about anything with their equipment. One of my favorites was the guy on the giant track hoe who could feel tiny things like telephone lines and not damage them. I knew several operators who I swear could take eggs from a mother hen and not drop or crack a single one of them.

    This video shows some great driving skills that are so difficult I am not certain it is real. It also shows some of the equipment operator skills like I mentioned above.

    I can hear a couple of my old hard-hat job bosses now in the back of my mind, “Quit the f#@kin’ around and get back to work or you are fired!”

    Excellent

    I was good---but I had one guy working for me who I would have left pick my teeth with the biggest of excavators. He also had a "feel" that I could never equal.
