Rock Crusher



In case you don't know, my grandpa, my dad, and my brother have all owned and run rock crushers in Oklahoma their whole lives. They dynamite a section of earth to break up the limestone, then big loaders load the rock onto dump trucks. The dump trucks dump it into the crusher, and the crushed up rocks go on conveyer belts like this to the rock piles. Then it is loaded into dump trucks to sell it to make roads, etc.

I am thinking about submitting this photo to Mike Rowe of "Dirty Jobs." Maybe he would like to go and film one of his shows at my family's rock crushing plant.
