  • Roller

  • Haul Truck
  • Skidsteer
  • Truck and Pup
  • Truck and Trailer

I would like to start out by saying i am not a mainline operator or have adequate seat time doing finish work with a grader, but i want the hours needed to be proficient. Most of my work has been on a JD-450 to CAT D8 Dozers, JD-27 to CAT 345 Excavators, JD-544 to CAT 945 Loaders, CAT 140H Graders. I would say i am most skilled cutting and grading on a dozer. Class A CDL mostly solo work or with a 3axle tilt deck moving equipment, but have some hours running side and belly dumps along with water truck. I was put in a position where i was running jobs and giving up seat time to keep production moving.
