Alex got kicked off the job

What happens here

The site supervisor, wearing a 'Dirt Monkey University' t-shirt and sunglasses, explains that his usual worker, Alex, is out due to a shoulder injury from overexertion. To compensate, a second skid-steer (the yellow CAT machine) has been brought in, and Alex will be operating it, restricted from heavy lifting. The supervisor highlights the logistical challenge of moving dirt from the main excavation area to the street for loading onto a dump truck. This involves navigating a narrow path, a gate, and trees, underscoring the importance of careful planning to avoid damaging utilities or creating soft spots near a retaining wall.

Goal: The site supervisor explains challenges with personnel due to injury, requiring a second skid-steer and a specific route for material transport, emphasizing safety and efficient material flow.

that's not a good sign when it doesn't wiggle so yesterday blaine kicked alex off from his job site but probably not for the reasons that you would think alex busted up his shoulder pretty bad basically he over exerted himself and went to the doctor and the doctor said you gotta quit using your shoulder you're gonna make the problem worse well we had alex on a big retaining wall project that we're working on and told them you know what just run equipment and do you think the kid could just do what he was told and run equipment no he's down in the trenches he's trying to lift block and these are 83 pound blocks so he's got one arm that he can can't even pick his nose with and the other arm he's trying to lift blocks with and blaine's like no man if you can't you know work within certain boundaries you're just going to hurt yourself out here on this job site and you need to you need to go so alex is coming to my site where he's going to be forced to run a skid loader so since he's coming out to my site we're calling in reinforcements and getting a second skid loader i wanted to bring the 185 out but alex went and grabbed the kitty cat it's one of his favorites he loves that machine so hopefully with alex out helping we'll be able to get a lot done let's get on it is it really negative 40 out because according to the weather it's supposed to be 97 today i don't remember negative 40 being in the forecast i should go grab my coat [Music] hey good news it's warming up now it's only negative 33 degrees sweet that'll make it a lot nicer to work today in a t-shirt what have you that's not something you see every day that's a gmc denali pulling that dump trailer any of you guys use your fancier work trucks or fancier trucks for work like that
