I once worked on a job site with a guy who was sporting a cowboy hardhat. It seemed a bit much to me but he sure liked it.

Cowboy is a term we use to describe general contractors who don't work off the drawings. They just get out there and do what they want with complete disregard for the details. If I saw someone on site with a cowboy hard hat on, I would be very worried....

Lol. Out of curiosity, is there a trade that has more cowboys than others? Or just certain GCs with bad reps regarding attention to detail? I manage a lot of fiber optic and other communications installations. It never pays to not go by the book...

The most cowboys? Definitely the fiber optic and communications installers. No question :P
