Day In The Life of a Construction Worker

  • I'm currently working construction in Jackson Wyoming.
    I work long days - 11 to 13hrs - and have been using that as an excuse to not make & share videos. Making this video is my way of recognizing that and moving forward without it. I had fun making this this video! Enjoy

    So disgusted by people’s comments and judgements.
    You have NO context of this dude’s work company, his fellow workers, his boss, or his position and time at the company.
    He could have told his boss “hey man, I’m doing a little RUclips video today, that okay by you?”. If he’s been working there for a couple years, that’s a pretty chill request.
    So at 4:20, when everyone is eating their frosties, they get shit too?
    Last time I checked, buddies giving you shit at a job site is probably the most normal thing to happen. You wouldn’t know that, because you don’t actually working on a fucking job site.
    He even says in the video “wow, this day is all sorts of things.” Meaning, even he’s surprised he’s driving around so much.
    But nah, keep judging from your cubicles 👍🏻.

      There are days like this, and then there are those days (in them majority), when u work your @ss off.
      ' Guess this was one of those days, when the schedule, or the circumstances weren't THAT strict.
      Every now and then, we ( people, working on construction sites) have days like that.
      It's just how this industry works.
      Nice comment ; had to reply.

    As a fellow construction worker (now working in Remodeling), but spent years in a ditch connecting water and sewer lines, I respect anyone in 2023 doing this type of work. I’m 44 and helped put myself through college with construction work and started building things at 5, when my dad introduced me to a hammer. I have a Bachelors degree, but construction has been my bread and butter most of my life. I’m thankful to physically be capable of doing the work.

      I worked roofing as well for about a year & a half before I left for a better opportunity somewhere else. Not shingle roofs but metal commercial roofs, repairing rusty panels that cause leaks of all kinds, applying certain chemicals to preserve it for 10+ or so years. It was a bitch at first especially after not having worked for about 6 months, first day was 110 degrees with only 2 5 minutes breaks to get off the roof & chill but a good 1 hour lunch. Once I got used to it it was nothing but good times with good people working under the same heat I was. Those were my brothers on & off the roof, looked out for one another but it was the management that made me say "fuck this" & I moved onto something better.

    I just started construction approx. 5 months ago. I have never done construction before, and most of the time is spent sweeping the floors, keeping the job site clean, and basically finding stuff to be active with. I usually wake up at 6, leave by 6:35, and get to the job site by 7. The company I work for is brand new, approx. 2 years old, run by 2 brothers who have 40+ years combined between them. I learn a lot, and tbh there are days when the task they have me do extends through the whole week. There are some days when I have just enough work for 1 day. When it rains, there's barely any work because the mud becomes a safety hazard. Hell, there are days where I get sent home early because everyone else has their responsibilities and I've finished mine (whether it be sweeping floors or doing tasks like installing door knobs, base molding, driving from one job site to the next, etc) and am now waiting on them for an opportunity to arise. What I'm saying, is we've seen him work 1 day, but how about we also entertain the fact that the 1 day he recorded, isn't everyday, but perhaps the 1 rare day in the week where there is barely anything to do? Construction isn't at all like I thought it was, at least on film. Its hard work, and living next to a lake makes it unbearably humid, but the people are friendly, the supervisors give you shit, but in a friendly way, and you learn valuable skills that you can use wherever you go or wherever you live. Soon, I'll be tasked with doing more important things, but as far as I know, the construction you saw in this video is the rarest day you can ever get.

    Really cool video! I am a construction 'worker' as well, from Sweden! Right now I am just studying, though. But it is really cool that we do similar stuff, it is so nice to be outside every single day (yes, even during the hellish winters). One day I would love to work in another country. Thank you, Tyler, for the amazing video. PS: I subscribed.

    Just remember this, don't quit, where I am at kids younger than you are taken out of school just to work in low skilled jobs, they work non stop, often their job sites don't have machinery, those big trucks you have over their imagine doing that with handtools.
    Don't get me wrong, I am just saying you have got a chance to make it work out, so go for it, that little cabin may be small but you have a sewer system, work rights, great prospects to advance your carreer.

    Hey, I'm 29 and will be turning 30 this year.
    I've worked for a Pepsi.co branch right out of highschool and manage the warehouse, but don't have any enjoyment for what I do anymore. I live far up North in Canada and am ready to move on, maybe start driving a haul truck for one of the diamond mines up here.
    I've been trying my best to do some homework on what it takes to get your Heavy Equipment Operators ticket for some equipment. I've been told that taking courses for driving only gets you 30 hours of experience and isn't taken seriously and could be a waste of money. Apparently the best way to get into a seat is to work on the ground and gain experience on the ground. What I didn't expect is that even having your heavy equipment ticket, it sounds like you still do plenty of labour work on the daily routine.
    So I've been trying to get an idea of what construction is like, which brought me to this video. My dad is a real man and taught me how to be one when it comes to your work. If it's a job worth doing, it's a job worth doing right. Always outshine the people around you, and if you're trying hard to outshine everyone but it isn't obvious that you're putting out the most effort, than you know you have a good group of co-workers.
    I guess I'm worried to start in this type of work because it seems grueling and I can't tell if the pay is worth it or not. Are you always dog ass tired every day of your life? What do you get for time off? Do you work 6 days a week until your dead? Do you ever make enough money to retire or do you die with a shovel? I'm worried that I'll get stuck on the ground and never get put into a seat of heavy equipment. If I could get into heavy equipment, I believe it would be a healthy balance of labour work and using your skills to drive, but I just can't tell.
    Is everybody that gets into construction like you trying to get into the seat of equipment? Or are there shovel boys that never get a chance to shine and live that grueling type of life day in day out like a slave building the pyramids in Egypt until they die?

      Love the comments below, i don't necessarily get involved with the politics of people, I attended My civil construction course and now actively seeking a job for it, but damn its hard the course only went for 5 weeks and only had 2 weeks of skid steer/roller operations while the rest was theory plus 2 days of traffic control. and in those 2 weeks it was limited use for the bobcats because there was 17-20 people with only 3 old bobcats with a 15 minute rotation. I picked up the skill real quick because i play a lot of pc games for eye-hand coordination.
      But having only 2 hours on the bobcat and an hour on the roller just doesn't fit the criteria when employers are looking for minimum 2 years experience so its kinda fucked for new people trying to get in.
      I was aiming the John Holland company thats developing the underground metro tunnels in Melbourne but they require people with experience in some sort of construction industry.
      But i'll figure it out. hopefully
