Autobiography 2009-2013

When the Great Recession hit in 2008 I was the production manager for Southern Concrete Materials Charlotte Division. In December of 2008 I terminated and gave out indefinite lay-offs to drivers, plant operators, and yard personnel. The company closed 3 locations of the five in the Charlotte Division and combined two of the four remaining locations from the Concord Division to the north of Charlotte. On January 5th, 2009, I received my indefinite lay-off notice. The Concord Division production manager had seniority over me.

As a downsizing casualty in an industry hit hard by the Great Recession, I had to scramble quickly to find another opportunity. It came outside of the United States. Fortunately it wasn’t too far from the U.S. I was hired by City Services, Ltd., in Freeport, Grand Bahama, The Bahamas as their concrete plant supervisor and operator. (February 2009 – September 2010) The general contracting firm had purchased a brand new Vince Hagan dry batch plant to provide the concrete for the infrastructure project at the Ginn Sur Mer Resort on the West End, of Grand Bahama. I produced paving concrete for 10 miles of road, curbing, tilt-up sales structures, bridge abutments, sidewalks, duct bank cover (red dye), and sea walls. I batched, conducted air and slump tests, and made test cylinders for the customer’s outside testing lab. I supervised the five Bahamian mixer drivers, yard man, and mechanic. After 19 months the project was completed, unfortunately, City Services had not acquired another project for the concrete plant, so I came back home.

After coming home, the Great Recession still had a strong grip on the construction and ready mix concrete industries. I found a forklift and overhead crane material handler position close to home through a temp service in December of 2010. (December 2010 – October 2012) I was hired on as a full time employee by Solaris Industries after my ninety day temp probation period running the forklifts and overhead crane to load and unload trucks with the steel tube produced by the steel tube mill. I stayed there till one evening I was relaxing in my easy chair at home when my cell phone rang.

I received a call from the Vice President of Head, Inc. out of Columbus, Ohio. He was searching for an experienced concrete plant operator to take over the central mix paving batch plant operating duties at a project in Tulsa, Oklahoma. He said the project was 8 months from completion and needed someone immediately. We agreed on my salary over the phone and I packed my pickup truck that night and was off early the next morning. I was back in the ready mix concrete production industry. (October 2012 – May 2013) Unfortunately, Head, Inc. does only government contracts for military runway strips. In the Spring of 2013, the government held up Head, Inc.’s next contract with a government Sequester of funds. I was laid off once again and found a position in Houston, Texas, where I operated multiple dry batch plants and a pug mill for twenty months at Texas Concrete Enterprise.

I am currently working for Traylor Bros., Inc., as the Night Batch Plant Superintendent for the 3 concrete plants on barges operating on the Hudson River in Tarrytown, New York, in conjunction with Tappan Zee Constructors, LLC. The new 3.1 billion dollar Tappan Zee Bridge should be completed late 2017.
