Just got back from a six-week stint up north running a dozer on a pipeline project. Everyone talks about the big checks and adventure, but the isolation and time away from home hit me harder than I expected. Am I the only one who thinks the glamour of travel jobs is overrated?
Had to level a big uneven section for a parking lot base last Thursday, and my usual machine was down. Rented a newer skid steer with tilt controls, and it cut the work time in half. The precision let me avoid over-digging near the property line. For those who've used different models, what features do you look for in a rental for tight spots?
A seized pin cost me a day's work last month.
