Unpopular opinion: 500 hours on a tower crane is nothing to brag about
I just hit 500 hours on a Liebherr 150 EC-B tower crane on a high-rise job in Cincinnati. Everyone acts like it's a huge deal, but honestly, it just means I've spent a lot of time moving rebar and concrete buckets. The real milestone was the first time I had to swing a 10-ton load over an active street with a 20 mph crosswind last month. That's when you actually learn something. Anyone else feel like we focus on the wrong numbers in this job?

Ever think hours logged just measure time, not skill? I used to chase that number too until a tricky lift taught me more than a thousand hours ever could.

Sounds a bit dramatic for moving heavy stuff around.
