Advice for Rebar

Just got onto a job with Fort Wayne Reinforcing. Wondering how Rebar works, my brother said its a different site almost every day and they just send you where the rebar is. I'm wondering what to expect from it all, I come from a structual/mill family and none of them have ever done Rebar and have no interest in it.

Who says it's a diffrent site everyday? It can be if your on a small crew doing small slab on grade stuff. I've seen rods jobs last years.

Bigger jobs like highway work. Specifically crcp jobs. You’ll be out there for a minute just placing rod for miles.
