Lol true but you have to admit they were good entertainment for the channel. I know this channel and the crew will do fine without them, but you can’t deny the entertainment value they brought.
@@40redfox40 old Darryl’s form of entertainment was breaking stuff messing stuff up or always taking way to long to get gravel or dirt or whatever ryan sends him to get so I wouldn’t say that’s much value in that when his entertainment just cost ryan a ton of money and jr was alright but ryan would just let him tag along cuz he liked it he didn’t actually do much and that’s not always realistic he also was always trying to spend Ryan’s money shopping for stuff witch I did think was pretty funny
We all knew this already, but Mike is a great guy to help you out with the plowing. It looks to me like your crew is going to be better than ever this season.
@@Sa.d.bo26 right on the nose. if anyone thinks that Eric, Buggs and Francisco, are not secretly annoyed at watching J.R. sleep or lean or in the way etc.., and getting paid for it.. their nuts.. I would be so mad at watching and listening to that all day .
Can we just acknowledge how lucky Ryan is to have a guy like Mike. Seems like each time Ryan calls, Mike not only says yes sir, but seems happy to help. Mike you dont get paid enough for being the man!
@@dennisatkins9837 thats what i noticed he literally was like u want me to do urs? thats awesome to have in a friend/ employee even tho that was not an employer employee interaction imo
No one is “just a mechanic” just like the concrete crew would not like to be labeled “just a concrete guy”. Everyone brings great value to the team. Hidden talent can only be drawn out when everyone is in the game and respected equally.
@@marktye322 never heard anything more true.. I remember when I was hired as a "mechanic".... now I run a laser screed almost everyday all summer long 😂
I like the new guy. He has a great attitude and talkative. You should try to convert him to CDL Driver/Mechanic/ Buggy driver or spare help when people call off. He also is young and fit, which helps a lot in your business for the future
I also think that you made a wise decision on the mechanic. I suggested that earlier as I am sure he will free Ryan up for his management duties, ie , estimates, editing, etc. I suggested earlier that a fuel-gas pump on your premises would smooth out your operation greatly. You spend lots of time fueling your equipment at the gas station. You would save lots of money doing this and you could get a much better price on your gas and diesel by purchasing in bulk. Enjoy your videos and the all having while doing a super job on your concrete.
I can relate a lot to the new mechanic. I’m also 26 and it’s hard at times for potential customers to take me serious because of my age. I let my work do the talking.
@@mmaybee2353 true maybe it’s just me. I feel like there’s people like Ryan and or just want the job done. I started my own business last year so I can’t really say much
I love his attitude! He seems like a perfect fit! You've been blessed with some great people on your team! It's gonna be a prosperous year! Congratulations

Ryan I like how you don’t judge people on age! I just started my own moving business finally and I’m only 26 myself! Slowly but surely getting my clientele up. But it’s thanks to kind people like yourself that we have an opportunity 🙏
Good luck to you Luis! Watching Ryan and hearing how he started out and the tips he has for making it work could serve you very well. A lot of what I (and many) like about Ryan is he's reasonable, respectable, respectful and more than fair. Above all else, he's just a good human! He doesn't quote the lowest price because he knows his work is worth what he quotes. I have no doubt that you are worth it too. My daughter recently opened her own business - she's a dog handler/trainer. I'll put on my 'mom hat' and tell you what I told her (hope you don't mind, lol). A lot of what gets new businesses off the ground is good 'word of mouth' reviews. Go into a new job/quote with confidence and on time. When you do the job and treat people well, you will succeed. Small things like a smile, handshake and listening to your client goes a long way, especially now-a-days with everything being online and seemingly impersonal. Best of luck to you as you step out on your own - I wish you every success and with hard work, I have complete faith you will succeed.
@@heatherd.9390 hi, plus 1 as indeed very true with regards to word of mouth , am from the Uk and became self employed when I was 20 as a plumbing / heating engineer , I soon learnt that it takes a lot of time to build up the business and 5 s minutes to ruin it , I was in for a sharp learning curve that’s for sure , was amazed how much time was taken doing paperwork , running around get parts etc , indeed Ryan is one of those awesome souls who would give his shirt of his back to help others, sadly there’s many who take advantage of that kindness , hope ur daughters business goes from strength to strength ,all the best from across the pond
I ran a moving business in my early 20’s and it’s a tough business to get good help! You should pass out business cards to thrift stores, furniture resale shops, and used appliance dealers to get a lot of clientele. You can make a killing and it helps get your name out there.
So happy Ryan hired this young guy and gave him a chance. Many to most of us in construction who started and successfully operated our own business started just like him. In 1976 I was 27, owned a 1967 Chev pickup, no lumber rack or tool boxes, just a nail belt, skill saw, a few basic form setting hand tools and a bucket of hand trowels. Rented a bull float, a jitter bug and went out to start my own concrete construction business. Sold my multi million dollar business in 2001 to my foreman who had been with me 15 years, carried a contract for him and retired. He paid the business off in just under 10 years and is still building his business even larger than it was when I sold it to him.
One of the few shows on TH-cam that I genuinely get excited for when a new episode is posted, it's my morning ritual. Eat breakfast and watch Victory. Thanks Ryan!
Looks like a good kid! With the fleet you have, you need a mechanic that knows what he's doing to save you some money. Learning how to work on vehicles just to keep up with my own fleet (family of 6) probably saved me a couple hundred thousands of dollars over the years. I hope he pans out, looks like a hard worker!
Safety glasses AND a face shield. Seen a guy at my uncles body shop who exploded one and had to go get stitches in his BAG and I am not talking money bag but between his legs. Lot of industrial companies will not even allow these zip discs they are sooo dangerous ! Be careful please.
With all the work you’re doing this winter to update and improve your equipment, it’s nice to know you won’t have the Darryl’s around to destroy it again.
Ryan, one of the many things I respect about you is that you give people a chance. Not only do you have a good head for business and a lot of knowledge and skill in your industry, but you treat people respectfully whether it's your friends at the coffee shop, your crew, your family or a new young guy you hire to help you out with work on your equipment. You give everyone respect and more importantly a chance to show you what they can both a) learn, and b) do!
It looks like you've found a helper that shows some real work ethic. Nathan will be some solid help getting your equipment ready for the coming work season. It will be nice to have someone who can lighten your load with all your shop projects.
it must have been nice to leave Nathan at the shop while you had to get material, and know that he was working the whole time! Gives you the time to do other work and not have to worry about paying people for doing nothing..or worse yet, breaking stuff then lying about it...making double work for yourself. Good find, Ryan! Welcome Nathan!
Nathan gonna have a good time meeting the crew I sense him and Eric going to be getting along very well they both seems alike in ways but also different lol
I have a similar story to yours Mr. RYAN. I started with my dad in the HVAC business when i graduated high school in 2003. Not all customers trusted me but there was one customer that had 2 companies come out to find the issue with the hvac. No one knew the issue. I came in and didnt take me much time and fixed the furnace. They saw me and didnt trust me but i did fix it and they have been with us ever since and he asks for me only. My dad is proud but he will never say it.
Your dad should tell you how proud of you he is. I’ve 2 boys 19 and 21 and never stop telling them how proud of them I am and how much I love them both. They’ve grown into fine young men. Well done to you and good luck with everything in the future.
Nathan seems to be a really good fit to Victory! Great attitude, personality very knowledgeable. You can possibly keep him around a while more. The shop needs a step stool and 4ft ladder. Good luck this season!!!
Ryan I have to say I work for a very big asphalt/concrete paving contractor and most of our mechanics are field mechanics & for the majority are fairly young! I have to say It’s quite impressive at their knowledge and skill at such a young age keeping multi million dollar projects up and running daily. When there’s a break down it can start costing thousands & thousands by the hr. And for these young & older mechanics to keep everything flowing and being able to diagnose and fix the problem quickly is impressive!! Shout out to all the mechanics!!
That f350 is my favorite truck you have. So mint and such a nice worktruck. Reliable. Comfy seats. Sits low to the ground. Easy to access tools or gear in the bed. Super nice !
As a retired A.S.E. Mechanic, After watching that young man work, you should consider making him a full time employee... I'm sure he would be willing to expand his knowledge and work in concrete and taking care of your equipment...!!!!
Love Your Videos! ❤ never did concrete, I do landscaping.. but you are just entertaining! You are such a good boss and father figure, also drive a nice truck! 🎉 life a fun journey! I plan to start my own landscaping company in the next few years!
I’m the same age as Nathan. I run my own plumbing business. I have definitely had people say to me “ you’re how old? My kids your age.” I always fight the urge to say “ don’t compare my to your lazy kid.” Lol. Nice to see you sticking up for the younger dudes in the trade.
Man, it's nice to see someone who actually has the work ethic to finish a job. Bet he would have gotten those stickers off the skidsteer without quitting half way through
you can tell he will be a really good help and not just in the way and breaking stuff like some other guys that have been on the crew in the past. good stuff
The Mechanic Nathan is really GOOD ..... Has a real "GO GETTER" attitude !!! (And he CAN talk in complete sentences, .... unlike half your crew, ... LOLOL Joke, kind of ...) Mike and Bugs are definitely the solid guys, that you CAN depend on, and also "show up ON TIME" !!!! That as a business owner is HUGE , especially these days .... GREAT welding job, tool boxes and mounting brackets !! Looking forward to see how you design the rear truck skirt, with new lighting, etc ...... hopefully the snow will STOP , at some point soon ....
Ryan it looks like you and autumn had fun I hope even though he’s a young mechanic you give him a chance everybody deserves a chance in life you’re a good man I’m saying the same thing I hate snow I loved it when I was a kid but I hate it now when I’m older I can’t wait to your upcoming season watching you have fun with the guys love him what you guys do concrete your main man bugs is coming back you have Francisco coming back yeah Eric coming back I hope Tito comes back I hope Mike comes back part time you all you need is another CDL driver and you have your son that’s gonna be doing the CDL Driving for you you have been working with you all summer long and Autumn
Nate seems like a good Guy RY, I Hope he works out for you, Cause God knows you need someone right now to help with all the mechanical work you have, Eric is a great kid, But he aint no mechanic LoL..Peace and Love to you bro from Northern New jersey !
As a motorcyclist I can completely understand how you feel about winter in march, I'm so ready for it to be over so I can get back riding! Its been fun but its time to go winter!
I said this in a previous episode but you should get a leather apron for the shop to wear while you're using the grinder Ryan. I worked with a guy who's grinder broke just like yours and a extremely small piece was flung into his chest and missed his heart by like half an inch and almost died from it. Better to be safe than sorry.
Gotta be the keyboard cynic & mention the irony that Nathan is buffing "metal particles" and imperfections off the white truck like 8' away from Ryan grinding and spray painting... 😅
I once worked in the area of Rescue and one of My Rescue Team Leaders was under 20. Usually that wasn’t a problem, but occasionally I’d get comments from older men who had difficulty Taking Orders from a Kid. My response was always “I need him far more than I need you, so either get over it or take a walk”. Most got over it, a few took the walk. Those who stayed quickly learned just how knowledgeable and experienced that Kid was in Technical Rescue.
I am 45 today, where does the time go?! I've been hiring people for over 20 years and you seem a good judge of character although the first two weeks will speak volumes. Good on ya for not judging youth but keep in mind what you said, we all make mistakes. Ryan, Get the REWARS card at quick trip, it is WORTH it in the long run for the few seconds of annoyance using it each time! He seems great and will fit in, he's lucky he has a boss like you and he just don't know it yet but he will. If he works out in the short term maybe train him through Eric and Franny to keep him around, loyalty and dedication is hard to find these days!
Started my landscaping business at 15 doing small landscaping jobs and lawn mowing , it definitely feels good to know adults trust your with their projects being a young entrepreneur
IF YOU PEOPLE WOULD PAY ATTENTION, YOU WOULD KNOW THAT THE NEW GUY IS A “MECHANIC “ IN A TEMPORARY BASIS AND NOT A CONCRETE GUY SO IDK WHY EVERYBODY IS SAYING THAT IS GOOD FIT FOR THE CREW WHEN CLEARLY RYAN SAID THAT HE WAS IN A TEMPORARY BASIS AS A MECHANIC.
😉😉 AWESOME to tag along with you. Nice work and that 350 looks "CHERRY" for the jobs it does. (Nice EQUIPMENT - NICE WORKMANSHIP) goes a LONG way to selling your work!!!☺☺ THANKS GOR THE TAG ALONG and VIDEO. 😍😍😍😍😍
These genuine workers are making it a lot easier to forget the Darryl's.
Yeah.. nobody cares about them.
Lol true but you have to admit they were good entertainment for the channel. I know this channel and the crew will do fine without them, but you can’t deny the entertainment value they brought.

Couldn't even clean the buggy, real hard, a hose, a rag and five minutes, too busy napping at Chic Fila
I honestly havent missed them. I do feel bad for Jr to an extent though.
We all knew this already, but Mike is a great guy to help you out with the plowing. It looks to me like your crew is going to be better than ever this season.
Yep since the 2 daryls are gone no more destroying and lazyness everything is looking good
I’ll tell ya one thing, having a guy just standing around like the Daryl’s will lower the motivation on the whole crew.
@@Sa.d.bo26 right on the nose. if anyone thinks that Eric, Buggs and Francisco, are not secretly annoyed at watching J.R. sleep or lean or in the way etc.., and getting paid for it.. their nuts.. I would be so mad at watching and listening to that all day .

Nice to see a young gun coming up with a good work ethic, think you found a diamond there Ryan.
Nathan seems like a good fit for your crew. I hope he works out for you.
Hes just a mechanic not with the crew
No one is “just a mechanic” just like the concrete crew would not like to be labeled “just a concrete guy”. Everyone brings great value to the team. Hidden talent can only be drawn out when everyone is in the game and respected equally.

Mechanics are too expensive for those jobs tho.
I agree!

I think he should get a power wash machine for himself to wash the trucks
@@TUGG75 not sure there but my area most machines like him have a cdl because it's the nature of the job.
Miss Z is always such a bundle of joy. I'd love to work with a person like that

Don’t tell anyone your age??😂😂😂 I’m 25 man that’s none of there business and no one really ever asks. They just want the job done cmon
@@Vicztvr I don’t tell anyone my age. What I’m getting at is potential customers can tell that I’m young just by looking at me.

@@mmaybee2353 true maybe it’s just me. I feel like there’s people like Ryan and or just want the job done. I started my own business last year so I can’t really say much
I used rubbing compound on my car in Japan to get the coral dust off of it.
Mike being a solid sport !
As always
These guys do really show examples of work ethics and looking out for others. Money will come easy😉
Gotta love how he never asks for help but is always there for ryan...
Mike and bugs are what every employee should strive for.
Mike has always been solid his mom wouldn’t have recommended him to Ryan
We love Nate ❤hopefully we will see more of him for sure
I love his attitude! He seems like a perfect fit! You've been blessed with some great people on your team! It's gonna be a prosperous year! Congratulations

Stay safe
Jr is still haunting Ryan 😂 he’s the one that dropped the cutting discs a while back

you can tell he will be a really good help and not just in the way and breaking stuff like some other guys that have been on the crew in the past. good stuff
Love your videos Ryan, you motivate me to do better !
Thanks for including that clip when the gopro mount broke. Bout choked on my coffee! LOL
The Mechanic Nathan is really GOOD ..... Has a real "GO GETTER" attitude !!! (And he CAN talk in complete sentences, .... unlike half your crew, ... LOLOL Joke, kind of ...) Mike and Bugs are definitely the solid guys, that you CAN depend on, and also "show up ON TIME" !!!! That as a business owner is HUGE , especially these days .... GREAT welding job, tool boxes and mounting brackets !! Looking forward to see how you design the rear truck skirt, with new lighting, etc ...... hopefully the snow will STOP , at some point soon ....
Shots fired at Erik most definitely lols ! And I agree on that .
New mechanic seems like a really good dude.
Ryan, clean up that oil spill already! 😂
exciting seeing a young new guy come on board. Especially when they seem honest, ready to work, and have skills to bring to the table
CarPro Iron X will remove all of the iron particles aka industrial fallout in the paint. Very easy to use, basically like your washing the vehicle.
Welcome to the Victory family Nathan! I'm sure you will enjoy the ride!
take good care of him, he seems like a good guy
Ryan it looks like you and autumn had fun I hope even though he’s a young mechanic you give him a chance everybody deserves a chance in life you’re a good man I’m saying the same thing I hate snow I loved it when I was a kid but I hate it now when I’m older I can’t wait to your upcoming season watching you have fun with the guys love him what you guys do concrete your main man bugs is coming back you have Francisco coming back yeah Eric coming back I hope Tito comes back I hope Mike comes back part time you all you need is another CDL driver and you have your son that’s gonna be doing the CDL Driving for you you have been working with you all summer long and Autumn
This season is going to be unlike no other, got great people working for you now!
I started my business at 24, was definitely difficult at first. I’m 29 now and some people still think I’m too young when they first meet me
New guy is a Bugs in the making, Solid dude... so far! Lot better then someone else whos name won't be mentioned!
Nate seems like a good Guy RY, I Hope he works out for you, Cause God knows you need someone right now to help with all the mechanical work you have, Eric is a great kid, But he aint no mechanic LoL..Peace and Love to you bro from Northern New jersey !
As a motorcyclist I can completely understand how you feel about winter in march, I'm so ready for it to be over so I can get back riding! Its been fun but its time to go winter!
I said this in a previous episode but you should get a leather apron for the shop to wear while you're using the grinder Ryan. I worked with a guy who's grinder broke just like yours and a extremely small piece was flung into his chest and missed his heart by like half an inch and almost died from it. Better to be safe than sorry.
22:40 “and I wouldnt be here if it was” I love that answer
How jealous is Erik going to be of the new guy lol
Thats why you keep the guard on the grinder
Eric has competition!
That was the perfect answer from a humble man
Great hire Ryan !!
You can see the difference from this guy and Erik !
This guy actually has a brain and is a solver .
Nathan seems like one of life’s good guys, I can imagine him getting on with your team & becoming a permanent member.
Gotta be the keyboard cynic & mention the irony that Nathan is buffing "metal particles" and imperfections off the white truck like 8' away from Ryan grinding and spray painting... 😅
Nate sounds like he's a nice guy and I hope he keeps helping you out getting stuff done
If you wanted it smooth you should have clay barred the truck the iron decon would have made it super smooth
I once worked in the area of Rescue and one of My Rescue Team Leaders was under 20.
Usually that wasn’t a problem, but occasionally I’d get comments from older men who had difficulty Taking Orders from a Kid.
My response was always “I need him far more than I need you, so either get over it or take a walk”.
Most got over it, a few took the walk.
Those who stayed quickly learned just how knowledgeable and experienced that Kid was in Technical Rescue.
I am 45 today, where does the time go?! I've been hiring people for over 20 years and you seem a good judge of character although the first two weeks will speak volumes. Good on ya for not judging youth but keep in mind what you said, we all make mistakes. Ryan, Get the REWARS card at quick trip, it is WORTH it in the long run for the few seconds of annoyance using it each time! He seems great and will fit in, he's lucky he has a boss like you and he just don't know it yet but he will. If he works out in the short term maybe train him through Eric and Franny to keep him around, loyalty and dedication is hard to find these days!
Happy birthday
Started my landscaping business at 15 doing small landscaping jobs and lawn mowing , it definitely feels good to know adults trust your with their projects being a young entrepreneur
Please get some absorball and clean that oil on the floor up... my ocd for the last 3 weeks on it is killing me
New Mechanic already says "C'mon!"
Mike is getting it, very motivated & dedicated. Hope he sticks. I think hes gonna make a great asset to Victory
Mike is a great guy!
IF YOU PEOPLE WOULD PAY ATTENTION, YOU WOULD KNOW THAT THE NEW GUY IS A “MECHANIC “ IN A TEMPORARY BASIS AND NOT A CONCRETE GUY SO IDK WHY EVERYBODY IS SAYING THAT IS GOOD FIT FOR THE CREW WHEN CLEARLY RYAN SAID THAT HE WAS IN A TEMPORARY BASIS AS A MECHANIC.
Dude, I seriously love your mechanics attitude he’s smart, young and funny and charismatic
Happy Saint Patrick's Day ☘️
I may not know much of your line of work or anything mechanical, but I can definitely sense that he knows his way around a shop.
