In this episode of The Dirtlife podcast, Scott Colclough sits down with Justin Brilman of Sub-Terrain Excavating & Trucking Ltd. (STX) to talk about what makes a good operator, the pride battle between old school skill and new school tech, and why some guys still think machine control is a gimmick, even though it’s changed the game.
They also get into the good, the bad, and the downright ugly of running a dirt business in Alberta. From risky canal projects that almost buried the company to million-dollar green energy jobs that came from being visible online. They talk scrapers, dozers, expanding into Saskatchewan, roller compacted concrete (RCC) tech, building an engaged team, and why culture matters more than a few bucks on the hourly rate.
