So far I have been operating a Terex crossover 6000 boom truck and we have a Liebherr 160t that I will be operating too. Thanks to ATS for all the training and allowing me to pursue my dream job. Picture attached is me operating the Terex."

Heavy equipment and crane job growth in 2026 looks positive, driven by massive infrastructure spending (like AI data centers and transportation projects) and industrial modernization, leading to high demand for skilled workers (nearly 500k needed in U.S. construction) despite broader economic moderation and persistent labor shortages, with specialized equipment like carry deck and all-terrain cranes seeing increased demand for precision and mobility.
