Thanks for all the well wishes. I think that it went fairly well. There were over 200 applicants for the job and they narrowed it down to 5. Out of the 5 they will be asking 2 back for a 2nd interview. From the feeling that I got and also from a few things that were said I may be one of the two. The 2nd interview is with the 2 owners and the production manager. From there they all decide which of the two is going to get the job. So now I just have to wait. They want to have some one in place within the next week or so.

Not necessarily. Some of the smaller stuff will use backhoe controls instead of excavator controls. That is, left hand controls boom rather than right.
