I have a question that is related to this topic sorta, what kind of and how much expierience do the operators who work for companies such as Van Tunen and 777 need to operate the monster LRD's those companies own???.........

Since the LRD is usually their 'prize possession' and sometimes biggest investment it takes a certain type of operator. Someone that knows how a building is engineered structurally, someone that is cool, calm, systematic. It goes to someone that has proven themselves in the field on smaller equipment, smaller rigs, stayed with the company, and worked their way up to 'earn ' a right in that seat. The kind of people I have seen operating an LRD or HRD, the big machines and the big cranes also knows not to 'take chances' even though the super or job foreman might have a 'better idea'.
