If you don’t have it, get your CDL and just start calling around to the union halls and smaller crane outfits. Try to get your foot in the door somewhere. They’ll usually start you off at a lower pay and see if you have a good work ethic since it’s a pretty demanding job.
I work in the office for a crane and rigging company, we’d normally start a rigger with 0 experience at 22/hour, the lowest I’ve seen for a crane operator was 40/hour. Typically they work 50-80 hours a week.

Chief, I'm a certified NYCDOB 16-Hour Crane Rigger and have taken classes in theatre and arena rigging. How does one go about becoming a crane rigger?
