You are right about them not telling you and sometimes a bit boring and it's alot easier when you are going up hill as they are pushing you down hill can be more tricky especially when dark not the first time someone makes a mistake and tips to much tar and stopping the hole thing. I tended to put diesel oil on the tail door. I normally sprayed the body with water it's a wonder they didn't get you take a load of plains home with you. Like watching your blogs
Yeah the communication on site is usually piss poor isn't it. I loved getting pushed up hill, downhills horrible, tell you to let off and suddenly 32 ton pushes you forward and the tar gang shout and scream at you cos it's pouring out the pan 😂 I usually sprayed the tail door and body too, we got T99 on that job too which is awesome stuff for stopping it sticking. We didn't get the waste plainings on that job cos they had a plainifn crew running Infront with their own wagons. I did sometimes get waste on the chippings waste tar road sweepings etc if I was last wagon. I didn't mind it but sometimes it was annoying when your sitting wanting to get away home and they take another 30 mins to get you loaded up and sign the ticket.
@@ThePhilBilly Really pleased to hear it buddy. Good that you know your limits & can adapt to make it all work for you & the family mate. Definitely don’t want to be burning yourself out!! All the best Phil 😊👍
I agree buddy as a digger operator on the motorways I was fed up getting messed around or permits getting stopped over stupid things like cones not so many meters apart. Stay safe buddy.
It's not toooo bad that way for us, maybe get told off if we forget our hard hat or hivis or summit, worst bit is the bloody speed limits on some sites. Like 10mph but the job is about 3 or 4 mile along the strip then the exit it another few mile away and we have no idea where the camera is going to be or if there even is a camera some times...😂
I would say the money is pretty good yeah, it's not going to compete with likes of tramping but to say your home every day or night the money is good. Plus I really like it because it's not a particularly hard job. It has it's moments but it's still good. I'm hoping I can come back to it when I get my self sorted out again
I gave them their spot back when we left the quarry and I did offer it back when I was down on site but they didn't mind so I was quite happy to be away home 20 mins earlier haha

FM 500 8 whleer should go like a rocket, probably needs a top end set up .
Oh no it's still a little rocketship and handles like a gokart that one, just the interior and exterior is getting a little bit worn from the jobs
Nice vid, cheers.
Thanks 👍
Give them the place back keep the piece
