Loading...
Uploaded by collinsmarkkatherine on Jan 22, 2008
I am a dump truck driver at Orebody 25 in Newman, Western Australia where we mine iron ore. I have been driving these trucks for the past two years.... before this I was a brickie! Thes best part about my job - The money! The worst part about my job - The looooong shifts!
I made this video for my Nephew, Thomas who lives in Spain and loves asking me about my trucks.

@leftylethborg Do an apprenticeship if you can land one, best choice I ever made

@jasmine732 Not with that sort of atrocious spelling. Good communication is important for any job ;-)

Do you get bored just driving a truck around all day? What sort of risks are there? Ever had any accidents?
-
What sort of pay are you on now? What type of threat do the driver-less trucks pose? What are the key attributes that a candidate should possess?

@CozmoNz Yes it is "HARD" getting into the mining industry, my other half started just over 5yrs ago driving these dump trucks, He has been doing FIFO for a while now but at 1st took a while to get in when he decide to change over to mining. The money is good but you do work longggg hours & earn the money you get. He trains up others now as well as still operating & driving them. there's a lot of mental work involved etc. Good Luck...:-)

@moneyman10k agreed, they are fucking around.
Only two types of female plant operators, those that love the cock, and those that are in denial.
