As the title suggests, Jay Collup, President of Collup Enterprises, is an expert in the Dirt World and has plenty of experience in the seat and as a leader. In this episode, Aaron and him sit down to catch up and talk about training and how folks can improve efficiencies on a site. 

Along with a small two-person excavating and grading business, Jay’s main goal is to train the next generation of expert operators. He’s achieving this by offering his unique simulator service. Jay and his team offer simulator rental and training via a mobile trailer with several machine simulators. This provides a way for contractors to get new operators trained up while their production machines keep running. Jay's approach is progressive and backed up by years of experience, so tune in if you want a piece of his dirt world knowledge.

**UPDATE**
Dirt Talk officially has its first partnership, and we are excited to announce that it's with none other than Ariat. Here at BuildWitt, the consensus is that Ariat is great! They make durable and comfortable boots and workwear, which are essential to any career in the dirt world. Listeners of Dirt Talk can get 10% off their first order by clicking here or visiting Ariat.com/dirttalk.
