Missed crane appointment

Eat the $2k and ghost.

Or if they're a good customer, pay the $15k because you'll make that back in the long run.

 

Depends on the size of the crane.

The difference between men and boys is the price of their crane.

When I did generators or gen sets, we used some HUGE cranes at times. They were basically $10K day. That was 15+ years ago.

But we never just put stuff in a lay down yard, hence larger boom.

Riggers are a lot too. Depending on what they had going, I could see $15K.

Crane was probably booked by another customer, so just couldn't stay at the site.

 

It's only ok for the crane too be late!!! 08:00 crane appointment and the operator rolls up at 07:50 and takes an hour to get setup. Happens a lot!!!

 

That sounds more like a scheduling issue with the receiver. They scheduled both the crane and the truck at 8:00 a.m. not realizing the crane needs time to set up before the truck gets there.

Now if the crane was scheduled for 7:00 a.m. and shows up at 8:00 a.m. yes that is an issue.

 

This sucks I do a lot of these and have never had a issue but man you got me thinking! Jeesh!

I can't even imagine what this owner had into this project! Brand new 3k psi 22k lb hydraulic press....Ohio to Penn Yan NY....me, the maker of the press, a crane guy, and a wicked rigger setup with 4 guys. 53' aluminum tilting low boy conastoga with a Kenworth daycab!

Really sorry to hear OP. If I was involved I would waive my fees or at least heavily discount them for honest mistakes that happen once in a blue moon. 15k seems insane to me.

 

crane operators and iron workers ……. Some big egos there…….

Ain't that right. Don't u ever be late as a truck driver. But by God if the crane actually shows up on time you may just wanna put ur hard hat on so you don't get killed by flying pigs
