Showerthought: a 22 hour shift at the Port of Long Beach taught me more than any safety class, and that worries me
Picked a 40 ton container off a chassis at 3am in fog so thick I could only see my spotter's vest, and the load chart card taped to my cab window was the only thing keeping me straight. Anyone else feel like the real training happens on nights like that, not in a classroom?

Ran a crane in the rain at 2am with a load chart I'd memorized way better than any powerpoint slide from class. That fog and pressure teaches you fast because there's no room to mess up.
