One of the many times the D10R went down on that pile. This time it wasn't me!

To each their own! Lets watch our companys grow and not b-tch about it.

@chfar072281 Fair enough. We have 230 pieces so we try to train in company when people show initiative. You should grab some videos of what you do!

[chfar072281]

I dont know everything however, as an owner of a 300MM mining company we dont hire operators that would put themselves in a situation they cant handle. That should be mining 101 for you, if you are a manager. Im starting to have my doubts...

@chfar072281 Are you trying to tell me you don't promote anyone in your company or provide training on new equipment? There's only one way for people to learn how to run a piece of gear and that is seat time under supervision. In this video you see a new operator, the machine he is being trained on and a supervisor. Even experienced operators get stuck from time to time, that's why there are tow points on machines!

Who the F-ck do you guys hire? to run a 1 million $ piece of equipment?? You might want to broaden you search for qualified operators bud. That was a total lack of experience on the operators part. This video give's your company a black eye. Removing it, may help alleviate any of the discern regarding the company's recruiting abilities. We have a $300MM+ pluss coal operation and if I new one of my employees or owners son's were displaying this for their own gain, I would shtut them down.

@Jack201037 You also have to remember in our area there is a huge boom in the construction and mining industry. We have to train new operators all the time because we have THAT much work. As Jason has pointed out this is a great example of a new operator showing good judgement in asking for help instead of getting in deeper. He'll remember this and next time he encounters this situation he will know what to do. I learned myself in the family company by making mistakes and learning from them.

Like a BOSS

@redheadedduckhunter next time burnout drives, just kiddin there both very skilled operators

[darensmiles4]

I think its bound to happen as operators that you feel like an ass hole at least once in a while... feeling something is worse then what it is lmao

[darensmiles4]

@cyrusford why would you tell someone to fuck your ass... unless thats what you're into

[dgarr64]

@vantagetes you guys have the right attitude. Our industry doesn't need anymore screamers and yellers, that operator will probably never make that mistake again. And will probably have patience when he becomes seasons and has underlings

[vantagetes]

@Jack201037 Actually it's an excellent example of how we give people the opportunity to LEARN and move up in the company without having to yell and scream and throw a fit every time there is a small mistake made. The operator displayed excellent judgement in knowing when to stop and ask for his supervisors help in removing the stuck machine. This video is a learning tool for other operators on how to save yourself from a bad situation. Or are you one of those guys who knows everything?
