The most popular video of August by far was this one on how truck scales work! Trevor takes viewers on a behind-the-scenes sneak peak on a job site where this scale needed repairing. Between our social media platforms, it had more than 25K views!

If you don't have Instagram, you can also watch it on YouTube and TikTok.

When visiting job sites, Trevor sometimes encounters some real "vintage-style" workmanship! Learn how this old-school, rotary-style level indicator works with a grain bin. Trevor was called to this job site to fix one that wasn’t working.

Check it out on YouTube or TikTok, as well.

Have you ever wondered what it’s like maintaining go switches located in locations like this? Well, it’s not easy! In this video, Trevor explains how these switches work to sense if a gate is open or closed — and how performing electrical maintenance on them can be near impossible to reach. Especially when you are up this high!
