  • The main reason I disagree with Obama? Chicago look at that ravish high charted clean air city! Yea that should get a good laugh with someone. We didn't want him in office so now is trying to take our jobs. Go back where you belong and leave our hard working people alone. Lets keep our jobs. Oh that's right Mister Obama keeps speaking about American jobs. Funny thing is even with these windmill jobs China got those to. GOD BLESS MINERS AND REMEMBER UBB MINERS.

  • Also...Greetings from Raleigh County WV. Rest in Peace fallen Upper Big Branch miners.

  • Nice video! The biggest thing Ive ran is a 988F. That thing is a brute!! Thanks for posting!

  • Nice video. What mine do you work at?

  • This was actually an old job. I don't work there anymore.

  • Hitachi Trucks??? and Cat loaders??

  • i guess the trucks come from RUDD right

  • I like that song.

    Who´s the singer? And whats the songs name?

  • The singer is Hank Williams Jr., and the song is "Country Boy Can Survive".

  • awesome vid man..keep em comin.....i work for a company in ky 3 94 spreads, 93 k spread, 92 g spread......we move the rock.....i run a 785 on the 93 spread....love my job man....

  • That's cool on all the loaders...This video was from an old job. The job I'm on now, has 789's, and 793's. We have a 94F, a 92G, and two 5230 Shovels. I'll put up something of them sometime. I'm not on the internet very much any more.

  • do you guys have problems with the single lift arm on the 992? At our mine we have had it line board 4 times with in 2 years.

  • where i work we got rid of our 92g because of that problem now we run 3 992 c's and 2 994 d and a komatsu pc 4000 shovel. the older cats were made better and ran better than the new ones

  • hell yea i run a carrier and a 94 closer to perry co.

  • Hey all i Drive a coal truck in Boone county wv and i feed my family off the mountains.

    Great up wv24985. Thanks and keep up the vids good work my friend.

  • lil lite in the tail

  • the dozer is a cat d9 or more???

    you drive the Hitaci truck???

    very good video! 5 stars

  • I don't remember whether that was the D9, or one of our D10's. Actually, I do a little of everything. I have ran the D9, and D10's, drove the trucks, ran a loader, grader, and an excavator. I will probably take some more video one day...I just decide spur of the moment to take the camera with me.

  • so you do everithing!!

    ok!!

    i'm waiting for new videos!!

  • Great Song ... Great Message.

    I was born in Coal Township Pennsylvania and somehow Grand Ma managed help feed a family on her small Black Lung Pension.

    Minin' is safer today ... but it's still hard dangerous work.

  • Thanks, David...and it is much, much safer than it used to be. There's no comparison safety wise between moving the material from the surface, and crawling in a 3ft tall space a mile or two underground to dig it...it's a pity all these environment freaks think more of the mountain you're moving than human life. "Quit moving mountains, and go underground to get the coal", they say. I'd like to see them do it, knowing the mountain could fall in a second, and they would be dead.

  • LOVE the video!! WV coal runs in my family's blood. Grandfathers, Father, Brother and Uncles were great miners. My brother still goes under in WV. God Bless you all! Takes a real man to gamble every day! Stay safe!!

    God Bless from TN

  • Thanks, tennleslie1. You know I've always said if I couldn't live in West Virginia anymore, my second choice would be Tennessee. Maybe if Obama gets his way, and shuts down the coal industry, we'll be neighbors.

  • Funny! I'd do anything to move back to WV. Nothing like those WV mountains! *sigh* gotta love it!

  • I know exactly what you're saying...although the smokies look a lot like it. Nashville is really flat, but if I ever left here, that would be my destination. Music everywhere, and I love music...might even form a band:)
