Read excerpt
Most major equipment failures don't happen overnight... They start with a missed grease point, a filter that stayed in one season too long, or a small noise everybody decided to ignore. This week, Shay and Zac sit down with Andrew Keech, who brings real experience from both sides of the machine: Mechanic and Operator Andrew shares his background and how working on equipment changed the way he runs it, and why the guys who operate the machines have more control over repair costs than they think.

He talks about why the same routines keep producing the same paychecks, the same crew problems, and the same frustrations... He gets into the gap between knowing what to do and doing it, why that gap is where most lan

Read excerpt
Everybody in this industry complains about how hard it is to find good help... Almost nobody wants to talk about how hard it is to keep the good help they already have, as turnover is expensive.
