How do you get a job doing this ? Is there any training available anywhere ?

[brightonderek]

Hi there, I'm working in Fort Mcmurray at the moment and I want to drive a haul truck. Did you take the Keyano course or were you able to get hired without it?? If so, how?

[GWR4079]

its too small man

[rusticoaf]

i would guess its a CAT since it says caterpillar in foot tall letters across the front of the dump bed... but i could be mistaken. either way, that thing looks like it would be cool to drive.

[judge817]

looks like a cat 777d with greedy boards on the side should know drive 1 hehe

[rcummer]

So you're the criminals raping Canada for the tar sands...

[ytvman]

fuck u u dip cock shit face mother fucker im an albertan

[oodnac]

@421mog We do not have Tar Sands in Alberta, we have Oil Sands. The international media is totally misrepresenting this industry. Much of the extraction is done by wells, and occupy several acres, not thousands. If we can replace the Middle East as the USA's source of energy, the world is going to be a more peaceful place. (we currently are their largest supplier)
