\u201cIt\u2019s all about the concrete. When you get to the jobsite, you hop out of the truck as soon as you hear that concrete truck coming. Concrete won\u2019t wait for you.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Communication is critical on any construction project. A crew has to talk and be on the same page. For the concrete crew of Octabio Arellano, Alberto Arellano, and Alfonso Sandoval, that part just comes naturally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe\u2019re all from the same area,\u201d Alberto said. \u201cWe all know each other, and we\u2019ve got that chemistry. Sometimes you don\u2019t even have to say anything, and you can just give each other a look, and you know what\u2019s being said. We\u2019re locked in.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

His brother, Octabio, said teamwork is driven mainly by the shared goal of doing their best while completing projects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe all give 100 percent no matter the circumstances,\u201d he said. \u201cSeeing the project completed is super rewarding.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ben Hill, Crossland\u2019s Concrete Division Manager, praised the crew for their teamwork and dedication.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Octabio and his crew are hard working, dedicated, and always willing to take on difficult projects. They do quality work and a fantastic job. I\u2019m lucky to have them.”<\/p><\/div>

Alberto said the crew doesn\u2019t have a \u201ctypical day\u201d on a jobsite. It all depends on the project and, of course, the main ingredient.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt\u2019s all about the concrete,\u201d he said. \u201cWhen you get to the jobsite, you hop out of your truck as soon as you hear that (concrete) truck coming. Concrete won\u2019t wait on you.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Octabio said he enjoys the variety of jobs that Crossland provides.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt could be a quick and easy day, or it could be a long and exhausting day,\u201d he said. \u201cIt just depends on the concrete.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The brothers also praised Crossland for the care shown to employees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a great company,\u201d Octabio said. \u201cThey take care of you, just like family.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Alberto said he\u2019s motivated by how Crossland rewards employees for their hard work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIf you try hard, try to improve, the raise is there,\u201d he said. \u201cThere are lots of opportunities here. It\u2019s a good job, man, and it\u2019s a good living.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
