Heavy Haulers in the oil sands

[TheChristianRight09]

Those trucks might as well be hauling money....Good for Canada...

..

[pf611]

@TheChristianRight09 Canadians do not get that money.

[TheChristianRight09]

@pf611 so who's working those jobs and collecting those tax revenues...???

[pf611]

@TheChristianRight09 The profits from these projects are held by oil companies who actually receive subsidies from the government. The workers do not live in the area and are not necessarily Canadian.

[TheChristianRight09]

@pf611 taxes are paid,employees spend money in the local economy...

[pf611]

@TheChristianRight09 Not really. Most of the workers are from eastern Canada or the US and send money home. That's beside the point; the majority of the revenue generated by these projects ends up with executives and shareholders of oil corporations, not the local community, not people of Canada.

What does it take to drive one of these beasts? :D

[KinorK1]

politics aside, great clip, thx for posting!

[picklefacevideo]

@KinorK1

Thanks for that - I had not political agenda when I posted this. I just thought the huge trucks were cool!

[lmadult]

I am a Canadian, and the Tar Sands make me feel so ashamed. The destruction must be stopped.

There are people from different generations who are fighting the Keystone XL.

In fact, I saw the video of two young Canadian teenage boys who wanted to see the Tar Sands for themselves.

It's incredibly powerful, so much so that many sites, including the Huffington Post are covering it! Go to their website and search for "Tar Trek."

People across North America are coming together to fight this.

[BigGdarapper]

I GET TO SEE THESE EVERYDAY :)

Hey geile Mucke

[shawn19691]

how do you get to drive these trucks?

[chechitopaisa]

Those 18-wheeler tractors look like toy trucks from there!!!

[Cousigreeno]

Watch my video response to find out the impact of the oil sands. They do not only have impact on the environment but surrounding communities as well.

[mwd92]

will gas go down because of sand oil

@picklefacevideo Hey I am 22 and live in Ontario,Canada and I want to get a job driving one of these heavy haulers, do you have any advie for Me on how I can get my tickets to drive one? Thanks and I love the video!

[unfortunatebeam]

wow those are big trucks....but i still think i could take one on in a fight tho.

[mgarrbomberstm]

imagine that thing with no power steering :)

[aquaimage13]

Watch ..............Living With Tarsands- Henry Basil.............He has something to tell you since you won't listen to me. 

[SuperDickweed]

It's time to tear mother earth a couple new assholes!

[geraldhenke]

point taken, but, no one is going to give anyone anything. and untill the power of hydrogen is safe, easy, and ready for the everyday idiot consumer to be able to use it, its not going to happen. not to mention the price of it. it is everywhere and in the air we breath but dont see it to be an everyday item untill it is cheap.

[geraldhenke]

hydrogen is the answer anyway but no one is going to buy it if the price is higher than gasoline. try and convince the 75% of america that is scraping by to spend every last doolar they have on saving the enviroment when no one else can and gasoline is still less than 5 bucks a gallon and there are gas staions everywhere and no hydrogen plants to fill up at for a car that doesnt run on it

[aquaimage13]

@FUCKINROCKIT Your Still NOT getting this concept. I can't go live in the woods and not use oil because my father, your father and his father didn't do a damn thing but worry about money and the union ladder. Meanwhile oil dependency ran rapid and now you are right there ain't a damn thing we can do but say HEY STOP! It has to end somewhere, why not here. Why cant we recognize the harm it does instead of the shit it fuels. I WANT SOMETHING ELSE. Something else cant come until we ALL SAY NO MORE!

[aquaimage13]

@FUCKINROCKIT No not Wells Fargo but close. Shell ultimately owns the sands. But I am retarded huh? And guess who owns Shell. Ill let you find that one, but good try. But it all ends up being owned by either elitist who own banks or by banks who own elitist. Please watch Alex Jones on youtube or go to infowars.com . He will atleast open your eyes to the global enslavement, were all in this together and I deal with peope like you all day everyday. Good luck on your awakening! YOUR PASSED DUE!

[aquaimage13]

@FUCKINROCKIT Im just trying to wake people up because time is running out. This country has been stolen by offshore banks and companies like this are ran by these banks and elitist. So if I have to piss a couple people off to open thier eyes I will and pray they say hmmm"let me see what he is talking about". Go to my page and watch my favs. Time is running out my friend, either we grow up and realize the patriot act was for us and oil KILLS! (when owned by rich assholes) or we all are doomed!

[aquaimage13]

@FUCKINROCKIT You just did by posting a comment for all to see. Hope it was worth it. Let me know when you exit the matrix maybe I can help. Until then being a smart ass might get you by but your emptiness will control you. But knowing you have a soul is half the battle, that means you know there is a hell and those who sell thier souls will all party together. But atleast you had a job!

[Juskazhann]

oh shit i hit a nerve!! truth hurts when your a hypocrite eh? dont worry, theres lots of you. you wont be alone. ill keep working to make your life more pleasurable by providing oil to help make products for you to use to complain about our so called horrible oil ;) you make laugh :D

[Deucalion975]

I always get a kick out of videos showing "giant truck" showing these 793 Haul trucks getting loaded by Hydraulic Shovels. In the oilsands industry, these are small machines compared to what we operate in the actual mine: P&H Electric shovels loading 797 truck (or even Komatsu 930E's) As for enviro-concerns, it is nowhere near as bad as oilrigs in the ocean, plus we actually reclaim the land after we remove the oilsands. Which one is the lesser of the two evils? People rely on uninformed opinion

[o0donnie0o]

donnie is a coal miner in australia

[aquaimage13]

You dirtheads need to fight for your souls back. And don't give the ol' it's a job bullshit. Listen to the local PEOPLE! They are dying around you, and your killing the natives food and water sources. I don't believe in Global Warming , but I do believe in doing something your kids would be proud of. NOT driving huge oil guzzlers while stripping the earth and killing lives. Oil dependency has to stop an as long as there are guys willing to do this work it never will. DO NOT SELL YOUR SOUL FOR $

[Rushworshiper92]

@aquaimage13 LOL this is 2010 the natives don't fucking need to rely on food and water sources anymore, it's called a "store".

[theweirdthings]

@aquaimage13 haha you really are a dumb fuck, what you think your smart car runs on< strawberry douche? haha you really are dumb lolz XD this is what ima gonna do when im older, because i like driving trucks, not because i have to or because i need money, its because i want to haha

[deddy20]

@aquaimage13 lol do you live in fort mcmurray or just read about it in the paper, moved here from ontario i can move back in 4 years and have a house paid off, if i dont work here someone else will. As much as the oilsands actually do hurt the native community the companies themselves do lots for them. Not saying they do actually care or not but suncor has contributed 1.3 billion dollars towards native communities around here since 1992

[MrSamerelshamy]

@deddy20 if i would like to work as a hauler driver on oil sand site , my friend told me that they train me , i do have a class 4 , is it true or should i have class 1 and experience ?

[deddy20]

@MrSamerelshamy no you don't need experience the best way to do it is get on with a company such as kmc, north american, graham, ledcor there are a bunch others. But just apply as a labourer since i take it you have no experience and within a few months you will probably get a shot on the heavy haulers if you show interest. I'm an hd mechanic and deal with lots of them and the majority say thats how they started just applied as a labourer

[89cadillacfleetwood]

@aquaimage13 if it was not for these guys life would be a living hell everything in the world depends on oil so suck it up butter cup

[aquaimage13]

@89cadillacfleetwood These are the guys this country and world needs to stand up and say NO we won't do this to the earth anymore until you prove to us and give us a date in the near future when we will not depend on oil. And don't tell me the technology isn't out there, Tesla had it hundreds of years ago, but JP Morgan couldn't charge for free energy. If these guys wouldnt do it the man would have to figure out something. Butter cup my ass! as you bend over and take it for a few wrthless papers

[Juskazhann]

@aquaimage13

aquaimage 13, you are a moron. i live and work up here in fort mcmurray. the city

and surrounding area is home to more than 100,000 people. the area is absolutly beautiful, and awesome for quading and snowmobiling in the winter. there are so many trails, that people can go and walk as well.

[Juskazhann]

@aquaimage13

before you make these crazy assumptions that were killing the natives food and water supplies and that kids should be ashamed, get your lazy fucking ass off the couch, and actually come up to the area. 99% of the people who live up here enjoy the area, and approx. 80% actually raise their families up here. As for the environment,

[Juskazhann]

@aquaimage13

technology is only getting better, and only a tiny percent is actually surface minable. everything else has to be steam assisted out of the ground. we do less environmental damage up here, than any other big cities around the world. so again, before you start ramping on and making all these assumptions, get the facts first you sad pathetic fool.

[aquaimage13]

@Juskazhann "there is also mounting evidence that water and air pollution from the extraction processes is endangering the health of human and animal populations.When all is said and done, extracting and refining oil from Canadian tar sands expels three times as much carbon dioxide as does capturing oil from the gushers Saudi Arabia." This took 2 sec to find. Now think of what there NOT telling us. Dip shit! Think about the shit that comes out of your mind before you

spew it onto screen.

[Juskazhann]

@aquaimage13

as takin by facts from morons like urself who have never been up here, we actually measure the airs pollution 365 days of the year, and its STILL cleaner than any cities around the world. further proving my point that you get all your information from sources that know absolutly nothing and are posted by green peace activist. hate us if you want, oil isnt going away.

[Juskazhann]

@aquaimage13

and another thing, almost all of our everyday products come from our industry,

especially this pretty little computer that ur using to make misinformed comments on, maybe not the computer itself, but the products used to make it. and that car in your driveway, and appliences in your house. go live in a tree house and give everything up. ONLY then can you start complaining. peace hippie

[aquaimage13]

@Juskazhann Read my comments above you will see that I know what the hell is made out of oil and our dependency on it. But as long as it is ok with some people and to not even question the path of this nation is idiotic. Tesla had tech. available a hundred years ago that would have given us all free energy but greedy elitist coudnt tax it. But you keep sounding like you do. It doesnt bother me a bit, I know there are people like you and until your more informed your kids will be like you! SAD!

[kimhunter2]

@aquaimage13 Thank you for being awake. I hope people see past the heavy campaigning going on in the states currently. With projected 82% increase in emissions, our air, land and water is without doubt at risk!

Keystone has had 12 leaks in 12 months. We must collectively stand up against the false info and campaigning the media is spewing to the US and inform everyone of the pending disaster. I have been compiling and posting petitions, statistics and videos to my blog. kim-hunter.blogspot.com

[MrCameronAaron]

@kimhunter2 I agree that Keystone is an awful idea, at least for the Canadian economy. The green energy lobby is, IMO, quite myopic in their goals. Nothing is going to take the place of petroleum in our world. It's not just an energy source. Everything is made from it. On petroleum rests the foundation of industrial chemistry. Even our food supply is heavily dependent on the hydrogen from natural gas. Oil production is already diminishing. When it too scarce to buy, nothing will replace it.

[MrCameronAaron]

@kimhunter2 When you truly understand just how interwoven and insidious oil has become in our lives, it becomes appallingly apparent that nothing will ever drive the economy, the world's industries, or food production the way that oil does. Once it's gone, we will no longer be able to sustain anything like our current civilization.The faster we use it up, the sooner the collapse and the harder the fall. It will happen, not just in the lifetime of some distant future generation, but in yours.

[aquaimage13]

@Juskazhann I can complain all I want asshole,knowing that all generations before me didn't see this coming.You all just sat around watching f-ing football and eating ho-ho's while our country caught fire.Well now you are the minority on this and damned if people like you will guide this country ever again.Go back to sleep sheep, oil is your God and oil will be your death.As for me,I know there is a better way and will not bow down to the ignorance of souless sheeple.you have never been right!

[Dara6344]

@aquaimage13 you can find a lot of shit in 2 seconds... dumbass. take ur own advice.

[aquaimage13]

@Dara6344 Yep, everything is fine, nothing to worry about, DUMBASS! Everything I "find" I check my sources, thank you. But everything is fine, keep shutting down our coal plants and siphoning oil from sand, even though we have billions of barrels sitting under the midwest right now! Keep stripping away from the natives, who cares!

[piston426]

@aquaimage13 misinformed, slack jaw....no selling here, you do not like, stop using your car, fridge, water,cause the pipes are plastic to move your water, made from hydrocarbons..enough with the soapbox, provide better solutions to better use ALL our natural resources, instead of complaining about what we here in the industry do to support our families.

[aquaimage13]

@piston426 And the reason you guys have to do this to support your families is because our country was sold out many years ago to the banking elite who now own every damn energy co.. I wouldn't have to use these products if there were alternatives, but there isn't, there is only a monopoly that people buy into because they believe everything they hear. I want better ways, I want cheaper alternatives and I know they are out there, but until "they" are forced to give them up, they wont. thanks!

[geraldhenke]

you must be one of the fortunate that do not have to work for a living or do not have to work at all. For one operating is a good job, second it has to be done to let smucks like you live your princess life. This (ol' it's a job bullshit) is part of progress.

[geraldhenke]

if you dont like it go live in a tent and kill animals with a stick, lets see how far you make it. Where do you work, what do you do, you dont need electric? you dont need fuel for heat in the winter? and if you go live in your tent you cant burn wood for heat either, that would be using a natrual resource, wood. lol why dont you hippies go suck on a tree.

[aquaimage13]

@geraldhenke HA good one. Obviously you havn't read all my comments. Im not saying we dont need the shit, I am saying that it has long been time for us NOT to need it. The tech has been available for a long time.Of course I have to use it idiot,thats my point, my point is that we should have an easy option not to,we should be able to live off the grid but it is IMPOSSIBLE due to the dependency that generations before allowed to happen. I cant see how anyone could disagree with this concept.

[MarcusVel13]

@aquaimage13 you can go on youtube, watch a kickass video of some awesome machines and then bullshit all you want about how they're destroying the planet. you should look at what the emissions actually are for these things, and they are pretty damn clean, and what the fuck are you gonna do about it

[DRcaprice]

@aquaimage13 bitching over youtube wont stop them. im all for the earth, but i just love machines like this. grab a gun and stop them, they dont care about the earth and they will never listen to you, so shut the fuck up about it.

[stevey3226969]

I drive them it's an amazing experience but ot does grow old just like anything. We make anywhere from 400-500 bucks a day and those Trucks you see on this video are small compared to the 797b and the leihberr t282. Too all the environmental people you have give some to get some. Sure it isn't the greatest for the environment but we need the resources. I'd rather have a bit of pollution rather thAn being poor. Keep on trucken

[TeamLibertyExpress]

Increased cancer rates as a result of exposure to......?

[MrWJFraser]

Very cool! I wanna do that!

[flyboys221]

hah

Don't suppose there's any jobs going?

[mrsupersniper100]

this is sick

[nevetszenitram1990]

awsome video thx THUMBS UP!!!

[gimmedavidb]

All right! A cool macho video with butt-kicking metal music. To hell with the environment! Let's drive some big azz trucks! Yeah baby!

[ColonelSassafrass41]

@gimmedavidb man you are so right!

[49MoFo51SoB]

i bet you all drive those prius supercars...

[1hotfred]

@gimmedavidb Yep and the coal mines are......worse!!!!! The days of strip mining in Fort Mac are coming to a close in the next 20 years thanks to new steam extraction. I can bet you never EVER wore PPE and made it past a what David Suzuki says on TV, if you did you would appreciate the work we do to protect the environment. The plan is to reintroduce Bison to the area, as it is cleaned up and reclaimed. One mine West of New york does more damage to the environment.

[redreaper2020]

@gimmedavidb Hey, nothing wrong with driving a hybrid...just a practical, efficient, environmentally-friendly, comfortable, "get you to work from point a to point b", 4800-hp 500+ tonne diesel-electric hybrid.

[iknowhiphop77]

what a waste of time & money......total environmental destruction & pollution, i would hate to live up there! The cancer rates around this area are skyrocketing!!!!!!!!

[fullbackoz15]

Is there a specific layer of earth you dig for or do you process everything?

[smirnoff169]

it is in USA ?

[trapper420]

@smirnoff169 the newest state of the U.S. of Eh! Alberta Oil sands project.

[sixstringfender]

Now thats a monster truck..lol Rock those sands girlie..lol

[Jnizle]

[tonasse]

[dostatdoram7]

wt r u doing without the nature?who will produce fresh air for u? wt will give u clean water?u r ignorance

[prowrestling231]

its u r ignorant and i dont care

[JuiceJumange]

@dostatdoram7

What do you need fresh water and air for? Besides this would be amazing to drive on the DVP rush hour! Forget a Hummer! I think i would fill the back with Tar oil and burn it in the back of my Hauler and drive to work like that.

[Humpibua84]

What is this songs name ???

[ianspitzig]

how much do these things cost?

[peepeevagi]

Heavy haulers in the delicious sands :3

[chewster]

so they move dirt back and fourth?

[xissburg]

I wanna see that thing drifting

[chrissnoeys]

Totally man I also got my resume in with suncor and syncor.And hellz yeah its like winnig the lottery to get an interview..

[yapudancolombia]

I got my resume in at Suncor but man it is like winning the lottery if you get an interview because these oil companies pay very high wages. I;m waiting Suncor for the call lol

[dostatdoram7]

[blazejmaupa]

Gavin84w your life is like neverending fail

[JGMagoo]

Cool! Now those guys in the 18-wheelers know what it's like to meed a semi turck head-on on the highway when driving a Volkswagen! ;o)

[donscell]

those are the small shovels the big ones scoop forward not back those are the small trucks as well the 797 carries the heviest payload in the world the lebierr t282 is the tallest truck in the world i am signed off for 3 those two and the kumatsu 930 e its a little smaller than the t282 and the 797 but bigger that the 793

[chickengeorg123]

i have seen bigger trucks from Liebherr

[scpd613]

how did it feel to ride in that beast? cool video.

[DONALHOUTI]

ama refinery operator thanx for the oil myfriends

[LowOutput]

Power steering with a capital 'P' !

[F3ST1FY]

OMG a video of NACG...with the Euclids at that...try not to hit your own shovels with the trucks

[BADASSED88]

THANK GOD FOR POWER STEERING!!!

[olej215]

welcome you to ask for the title of this movie is super song gives 5

[glenn3rd2004]

Yes, those trucks can haul over 400 tons but even larger trucks which can haul 750-1000 tons (or MORE!) are planned in the near future. These trucks will boast 8000+HP diesel-electric engines, all-wheel-drive, duplex rear axles, 10 wheels with 70+inch-diameter rims and 17+foot-diameter tires.

These trucks will be used for the oil sands, mining, major construction projects, and snow-clearing operations in regions receiving hundreds of inches of snow per year.

[bomik1000]

not on a 93 on a 797 you can haul up to 450 ton depending on if the scales

[Gavin84w]

MMMMM fail

[Juskazhann]

God my dream job!!, i just got my heavy equipment operators certificate and im hoping to get a job as a hauler or dozer operator up at fort McMurray!! know if they are hiring? i applied at suncore and canadian natural. hopin for a response!! :) wcked video by the way!!

[mulisha911]

As well, you don't have 1.5m lbs of rolling machines coming at you in every direction. Our job demands the best, and we are the best, and we do it all at 70kph.

[mulisha911]

datsuns11 - you are not a heavy hauler operator. i work for the largest oilsands company in alberta. I drive a 797d, hauling an average of 420t which is 800000+lbs. we do it rain, blizzards with flares so we can see, ice fog, thunderstorms, whatever god sends us. We stop for nothing, and we do it 24/7 365 days a year. We are the best of the best, so please don't insult us with your measly 300000lbs, with an escort, under controlled conditions.

[philmar187]

excuse me sir that was excellent ownage........big shout out to you and oyur company coming from barbados....cool runnings........

[DiggerDude19]

hey great video what the music on the clip

[texasdelton]

what are the oil sands

[sacrificedjakal]

the world largest oil reserve. in alberta canada.

[newfiebynature]

Great video! Hopefully it will be me driving that heavy hauler soon! Im looking for work on the oil sands with my trade.

[logostavia]

the music is

'

[Bnic5]

get a video of the 797B loading actual oil sands not the 793 loading overburden that would be way cooler...plus we would get to see it load from an electric shovel not a hydraulic excavator

[Xx69roadrunnerxX]

Driving one of those would be a blast!

[Markmeblablabla]

The real truckers are the guys in the semis

[Bnic5]

not even close when semis can haul 40 tons only 10% of what a haul truck can haul thats just dumb

[Markmeblablabla]

Yeah but semis actually require skill, anyone, no matter how incompetent, can drive a haul truck.

[boraboy4ever]

mexican women drive haul trucks

[datsuns11]

I'm a heavy hauler...I drive a semi... I haul up to 300 000 lbs on a 13 axles combination.... Driving these giant trucks with automatic transmissions is nothing compared to drive the heavy haul trailers with manual transmissions on some of the most dangerous roads of Canada...

[snowbiker111]

ive done both... rig moving and mining and i agree to some extent... though the danger factor is there no matter what you drive and there are idiots behind the wheel no matter where you go... where abouts do you haul

[HowToDoDude]

very cool didnt no they could tell the weight in back

[dirtbag90]

ya well not too bad for a contract mining company looks like north african iron to me at cnrl

[5020Chris]

How much do those haul truck drivers earn a week and what are the hours ?

[mulisha911]

Lots, and 12hr shifts, some are 5 days, 5 nights, 5 off, some are 6 and 6, some are 12 & 2, and some are 24 and 4.

[ferlotte]

Stupid nature breakers...

[pewap2006]

come to alberta and make $6800.00 take home a month

[donald1690]

i'm a scottish guy who's interested in this type of work, got plenty experience of excavators, how do i get into this paydirt

[1305416412586]

I have my Heavy Equipment Operators ticket...want to come out west from Ontario...how do I get on with one of this companies?

[acehimself]

go onto the websites of the big companies like Suncor or CNR, but you might have missed the boat! They aren't hiring like mad as they were a couple years ago anymore with oil price drops.

[paidaily]

This Video is Sweet! Those Tonka Trucks are like Prehistoric Dinosaurs traveling across the barren Alberta Tundra wasteland. I can't wait to go to Fort McMurray this Summer!!

[judderman37]

Like the payload counter mode! Where can i get a job doing that? Be happy to move to Canada to get my dream job!

[tomgroenland]

funny.

cuz those suckers are hibrids!

[satan0207]

nice mini digger

[tubehoundd]

nice video man send me a application

[dozer779]

Man that digger was awsome. what the hell is it? what a Beast

[mulisha911]

It's a Hitachi Shovel, very small compared to cable shovels, which run on electricy. Check out P&H 4100C Boss, which is what we have at Suncor, we also have a few Bucyrus electric shovels.

[GimpBoy]

Haha, i love how small the semi's that drive by look.
