quarry work

GO TO THE QUARRY AND TELL THEM YOU HAVE A TRUCK THAT HAS TO GET TO WORK TO MAKE PAYMENTS OR YOUR GOING TO LOSE YOUR TRUCK, ANYTHING WOULD BE HELPFUL, AND TAKE ANYTHING THEY OFFER BUT DON,T TELL THEM THAT.

I just got my CDL's. I am interested in Quarry Truck driver. Could you give some information what a Quarry truck driver does. Do you drive in the quarry only, or do you haul to other places? Thanks

ive been trying to get a job in either civil or sub contractor tipper driver and I have to say you have to either know someone or have male anatomy to even get a job in these industries. Ive tried many places and contractors and am never given a good enuff reason for not getting put on. ITS NOT GOOD ENOUGH I can drive rear dumps articulated and HR roadranger tippers and still cant. ITS BLOODY FRUSTRATING yeah Anna Bligh says there are many jobs out there in infrastructure and divelopment but you have to have BALLS to get into it.

Most quarry's have some sub-contractor and some put out tenders.
depending on the quarry the work can be slow,maybe one or to two loads a day.
you need t tell them what rate you want for the truck,but make sure you do your sums.
With 1 truck it is hard to compete with someone that has 20.
It can be even harder if you are paying off the truck through a loan,customer wants cheap product and the quarry will give it to them,so they to will want a cheap rate.

does anyone know where i can get some experience driving dump trucks, i just got my license and a few other tickets but no one will hire me with out experience

sorry to say you probably won't get in now. I got in before the down turn when they were training. Now that Rudd wants to make the mines pay this tax its slowed down and Im still having fun getting another job. I have 2 years experience.

You could try keeping an eye on the mines and contractors. I know that around middlemount QLD they have put on trainees but you will have to have your coal induction and your BMA site induction cards. You can do those in Mackay. or look up the sites. It will cost you around 400 for the coal and about 250-300 for the BMA. The BMA is so you can work on BMA owned sites. It is also called STAX.

Good luck.

You will find it hard for HR tipper trucks as they say 2 years experience for their insurance company. Sometimes private owners with a spare truck will put you on. Just keep trying.
