Thanks, I really enjoy the tankers. I tried getting into the mine dump trucks but it was a case of who, not so much what you know. Good coin if you can get in. Moving to Oz was a chance of a career change to something I wanted to do, so decided to hang up my chippy tool belt before my back & shoulders gave up like so many others have. It gets a bit warm outside here to for the manual labour, so the air con in the Truck is much more comfortable !!
Do the Cat motors in you Dump Truck power generators that in turn power electric motors that drive the wheels ?
