Boy that looks familiar, where have I seen a pic of a 24M before.:wink2 :thumbsup I bet I could really put some whoopies in a haul road with that.

Looks like a nifty little machine for trimming up the driveway!!:yup

Is it bladeless because something broke?

[CascadeScaper]

Is it bladeless because something broke?

Or does it not circle around enough to meet transportation width regulations? I'm curious as well. Big machine, that's for sure.

You know if I was ever to leave New Brunswick for Alberta it wouldn't be for the money, it would be for the BIG machines, when I see pics of 24Ms, D11Rs, 994s, and 797s it is very tempting.:yup

Do some more reading around this site as it's already come up a few times .

As mentioned in previous threads , do your homework before you come or you may find it a waste of your money . There has been a slow down in drilling in the last 4-5 weeks and most of the ' big boys ' have forecasted a slowdown compared to the last few years . Unfortunately ,what this means is that there will be fewer jobs and more people arriving daily to fill positions not really there .

Before I go further , what are your qualifications ? What level of experience do you have ? What type of job are you looking for ? Do you have any tickets such as first aid or Whimis ? Do you belong to a union ( for operators out here its Local 955 ) ? Clean abstract ? Can you pass a pee test ?

I too have often wished someone would open a ammusemnt park just for operators that would allow for just this type of thing .:thumbsup

You know, come to think of it I havent noticed any new posts from him for a long time, so I went back and checked when his last post was and it was at the end of July 06.

It would be really nice if he (Bozo) would reply to let us know that it wasn't him.

Not wanting to highjack this thread , but you're in luck , or anyone looking to play with the big toys . Looks like Syncrude is looking for operators .....

you can even apply on-line . Be careful though , the grass isn't always greener on the other side . And sometimes if it seems greener it's just that there's more fertilizer ( cow dung ) on it . :bouncegri

I am really sorry to hear that. We chatted a few times by PM and he seemed to enjoy life so much, and had such a passion for the big toys.
My condolences to his family.
