Found this site during a search on the net. I'm 22y/o, i've always had an interest in big machinery. I started runnin farm tractors when i was 15, which i still do. I've been working for a gypsum mine now for 2 years where I started out operating a Cat 657E scraper and D10 and D11 dozers. I've since migrated to a 988H loader that i use to load over the road trucks at the road rock portion of the plant. Being a heavy equipment operator is something i really enjoy and plan to do it for a long time. Also glad to find this site with fellow operators.:drinkup
