If you do not know what a "Belly" dump truck is...why in the world are you inquiring about working in the "Patch"???
Why not? If u already have a class A license just it shouldnt take very long at all to learn how to drive a belly dump.Originally Posted by Crunchyknees

But be forewarned this aint like the flat states you fall off the road there and it could be a 1000ft drop. You go up slow and come down slow. If youre doin 20mph you are speeding in some places 5 to 10mph is speeding.
Most of the roads are well maintained, but that dont mean that you wont be hangin any iron and its not uncommon to hang it in the summer.
Since I have been back on the road Ive had two offers to come back down there and work one from a friend to run winch truck leased to Hyland and one from Hyland as an operator.
