This is kind of cool and makes really good sense

This is ABSOLUTE genius. Who ever thinks this is stupid never had coworkers.

Dry run with a visual aid. This is smart and not childish at all. Good on them.
weidermeijer
No one should call this stupid. Visual aids.

Perfecting in practice prevents piss poor performance.

"Okay, so Dave I'm going to dump my load in your back end."

That’s far smarter than wrecking your million dollar piece of equipment and losing a week’s worth of work

This is how I run my equipment training classes lmao

There's a fight for the dump truck control
dexvd
The excavator operator is showing the truck drivers how he wants them to back in to get loaded, experienced truck drivers can usually figure it out easily, especially if you show them with your bucket, others need you to park, climb down out of the machine and guide them in like those guys directing planes on aircraft carriers.

You can actually see the moment when the supervisor understands.
ChaoticGoodTransGirl
the supervisor earlier that day: "what do you mean that won't work? why can't you just do it how i want you to?" the guy trying to explain why what the supervisor wants is stupid: *sigh* "hey Tony, get the tonkas. yeah, he's not getting it, I've explained it three times already"

The bucket on one of those can fill a 40 yard (volume) dumpster in one go.

Ok, I know the imperial system is fucked up, but last I checked, yard was a unit of distance, not volume.
alexburgers
from context it'll be yard³ (yard-cubed or cubic yard), but that's still a stupid unit.
rumandbass
A yard is basically a meter. Yard can be distance and volume just like meter.

For those that don't speak spanish it translates to "the cheese fits nicely in the cats anus". Trust me. I took spanish 1 three times.

It's called "simulation" and it's pretty useful for the industry in general...

I feel like he is probably a dad looking forward to telling their child they got to use their toys at work today.
IliveIdyeIliveagain
His kid be like 'Where is my toy papa?'
RecurringNightmare
visualisation...instead of explaining 5 times like "left...no the other left" you show it once and then everyone knows what up...and why spent big bucks on software or whatever fancy tools when kids toys work just fine for it...
AleksStark
And war, in my experience

And if you're dealing with maybe two or more languages, props are handy.

Considering that excavator in the background probably costs a few hundred bucks in fuel and oil just to turn over and get to working temperature, definitely worth taking a few minutes to make sure everyone is on the same page.
InvalidUsername8
Love the innocent thought that they're gonna let it get up to temperature before they use it.
Bmxtucker
For sure not that much but I ca confirm that you will turn maybe ten bucks of diesel into smoke before it turns over.
reineseele
Since everyone loves to subcontract the stuff till no one speaks the same language => Visual aid helps a lot. (EU perspective)

They should've used that when building the Tower of Babel.
