Dear Sir or Madam:
My name is John Wiley (aka) known all over by “Coyote”. I am a 48 year of age Non-Smoking
White Male, 5’ 11” 230lbs.
I have many years of experience as a Crane Operator and Heavy Equipment Operating in general. I was
raised on Bull Dossers and Cranes and was taught to Repair them along with Operating them. As I got
older and more experience I was primarily a Heavy Lift Operator for several large companies, making all
the companies big lifts and Buddy Lifts of extreme weights and Safety issues.
I have had Safe Operating Practices instilled in me since I was Seventeen Years of age operating a
RT-70 Grove & 4000 Manitowoc putting together 4600 Manitowoc’s and 2400 Lima’s.
Here are just a few Locations and Plants I have helped to build with my Crane Operating Skills
throughout the years.
Nucor Yamato Steel & Nucor Steel Blytheville Arkansas, Nucor Steel Decatur Alabama,
Nucor Steel Jewitt Texas, and many more small Plants and Factories.
Throughout my professional career, I have consistently driven myself to meet new challenges and
achieve goals, and it is with this type of results-oriented environment that I particularly excel. It is exactly
these qualities that attract me to a highly competitive and exciting career of Heavy Equipment Operating
Industry, and in particular, the Construction end. With your Company as an industry leader that can
provide both the challenge and opportunity I am seeking. My qualifications for an Equipment
Operator/Mechanic are as follows:
• Able to operate & maintain heavy equipment such as Backhoes, Excavators, Bulldozers,
Scrapers, Friction and Hydraulic Cranes of all size and types, on Land or on Floating Barges.
• Excellent ability to clear and level the land per grade and elevation survey stakes.
• Ability to maintain and care for the equipment that I operate, including Friction Cranes.
• Excellent communication and writing skills along with Safety being my greatest Priority.
• Able to assist in repairs and maintenance as needed with years of valuable experience.
I have a real understanding of the Cost to operate and maintain large equipment and how an Operator
can be smooth and consistent/productive and not damage the equipment and have costly down time.
