    One thing I noticed with hauling all of that sand is it's polishing the inside of the haul truck's dump box. Never seen it so shiny.

    To be able to keep an overall picture of the grade of the entire job in your head while moving dirt around is a good skill. I also like the drone footage.

    Not being a dirt worker or heavy eq operator I have come to realize that dirt work is much more a mental skill than operating skill. You have to be able to envision what the end result will be in order for any of the dirt moving to make sense.

Be nice to see what it is like 1 and then 2 years from now. I’m sure glad you have the problem of just a little too much work to do, rather than not enough work to do!
