Vent: My old boss in Billings swore by a 30-minute warm-up for the big dozers in winter, but my new crew says 10 is fine.

DAE ever try a 'gentle' approach with a full bucket on a steep grade and end up in a ditch?

My old foreman in Spokane always said to keep the bucket low when backfilling a trench. Tried it his way on a job yesterday and it saved me a huge headache.

I keep seeing guys skip the final walk-around on a 320 excavator before shutting down

Pro tip: I see guys in Phoenix not checking their hydraulic fluid levels before the first start of the day

My old foreman swore by the 'feel' of a backhoe bucket, but I'm all about the grade control screen now.

Lost a full day's pay because I didn't check the grease points on a rental skid steer.

Just ran my first full shift on the new excavator joysticks instead of the old levers. Took me about 3 weeks to stop feeling clumsy.
