Thinking about driving these for work, laughed when the giant sun visor came down lol. Doesn't look so bad thanks to the air ride seat!

As as a breakdown fitter electrician, Love the Elink , VIMS screen and temps , Data etc.. , especially brake temp issues , due to wiring and ‘ green death ‘ sulphated connectors , here in Australia, the salt content is high , especially in Western Australia, there’s so much with ‘temp sensors , diff pressure and temp , because of water ingress , the water connectors can due so much , and having the VIMs a great Diagnosic tool when you don’t have the ET , SIS near by , test driving the CAT is cool , super cool as I’m VOC ‘ed on it and love the power when they get going , sooo Uber lucky to blessed working on these CAT products and in the Mining game !

I operate one from mon-fri 6am-4pm then sat 6am-12. Where I work we have 3 770g trucks. Which we get loaded by a 992 loader. 2-2.5 scoops and we're fully loaded. There only 40 tonners. We can fit 50 though. Lol. Soon we are getting rid of them and getting 100 ton trucks bc our quarry is getting a brand new plant for crushing stone etc.. it'll be another couple years before it's finished though. But yeah I love driving them. Literally my first day of work. I watched a few safety videos, then got put right into a truck. Only 3 days of driving with somebody then after that I was on my own.

Fun to operate but very dangerous as well more so than a road semi truck and trailer, due to their sheer size and weight with the power it outputs, as another commenter said thank goodness for air ride seats. Smart to wear a bit of hearing protection to muffle out some of the noise, too bad you do not have a radio or other music device to listen to as well other than the hum of motor and creaking and clanking. Have you ever heard of ETF Mining Equipment? check them out as they are in the process of building BEV Mining trucks from 180 to 774 metric tons with Haul Train Configurations from 568 to 6192 metric tons as well.

Everybody goes into a big song-and-dance over driving dumpies and it's mostly all BS. The truth of the matter is you could get a well trained chimpanzee to drive one, which is probably why there are so many women in dumpies these days! Put 'em in an old R model Flintstone with a twin stick quad box and then we'll find out who the real truck drivers are!
