NCCCO Practical Exam

I took my TLL practical exam today and the report said I failed. I didn’t hit a single pole, didn’t knock the barrels over, and did everything in a timely manner. Will they tell you what part you failed on?

Mobile crane in NC

Bouncing around the idea of getting into mobile crane operating & just curious what the average non-union salary is in NC or even surrounding areas? Google is saying around $23 and hour but that seems a little low?

Rough Ballpark Estimate for Planning Purposes

I'm doing some long-term feasibility studies for a nonprofit that needs to launch a large boat that was built inland and, therefore, needs to be lifted into the water. As this is tentative planning, I didn't want to bug a company for a quote, so I am asking here.

The plan is to launch the boat from a decommissioned grain wharf. I am assuming the crane would be set close to the wharf's edge but not right on it. Given that and the beam of the boat, the radius of the swing should be 10 meters max. Boat is 4 meters tall, and I am pessimistically assuming another full meter of height to lift it clear of the transporter. So call max lift height 5 meters, as there's nothing to vertically clear on the wharf itself. Pessimistically, the boat would weigh 80 tons plus the weight for the lifting tackle. If that number places the load close to a breakpoint in crane sizes, the total weight lifted can likely be decreased as at the time of launch the boat is not planned to be more than a watertight shell.

Getting Started

I’ll begin by saying apologies in advance if this has been asked many times, but I’ll keep it short.

I’m looking to get into the crane business (mainly mobile crane). I have my Class A cdl. I’ve done some research but couldn’t really find anything solid.

Looks like the OE for the area I’m looking to relocate to is already closed. I can go to school with my gi bill to get the certifications that I need but some say that’s a waste of time. Any tips or advice would be greatly appreciated.

Currently an otr truck driver. I served 7 years in the army as an 88m (truck driver). Relocating to the Houston area by the end of the year.
