    Default uhh.. new job...ranty!

    So I got a new job.. I started yesterday just watching and tonight I'm going to drive.. this:



    not just driving.. but backing up. A fucking house... with 175 ton load of oilsand. EEEK! The driving part is no big deal, but the backing up makes me very nervous. You can't see shit on your right side and all you have is a stupid warped mirror to use while you back right up next to a shovel that's 3 times the size of you.. Then you have to back up near the edge of a damn dropoff to dump your load. I know I'll learn but I don't want to do anything stupid while learning like running over something or someone. Those things can crush a pickup with barely a bump. oh my... Someone please just tell me I'll do fine lol

    Ah Persona you are in my kind of business. Since I finished my degree and moved into the industry, I am a Safety Director of some of these big monsters.

    You'll be great. Be very careful and always double check where you are going. Good luck!

    you're in Fort Mac? I'm worried about the dozers a little.. you don't know what's on your blind side unless they're right up against you.. but I know that they know to keep away. I'll be on the radio all night asking where I am and where everyone else is while I'm backing up

    yep. Same thing here in Alberta. I work 12 hr shifts, and 3 hrs are overtime hours (time+half) i work 5 days, then 5 nights then 5 days off. i get paid for taking the hour long bus ride to work. After I worked enough hours to officially get in the union (350 or so) then I get full pay which is close to 40/hr. Fort MacMurray is crazy. I have zero experience and I got a job makinbg good money learning to operate heavy equipment. If I get in with one of the bigger companies I can get a 30,000 signing bonus if I stay 3 years and a living allowace of 100/day on top of my pay.
