Dump Truck Driving is one of the most popular positions in the mines, probably because it is the image we see most often in the media. A Dump Truck Operator will shift tonnes of material across the mine site every day. The type of material will depend on which mine you are working in. They are often asked to carry dangerous goods in including explosives and are responsible for securing their loads and making sure they correctly estimate the weight of the load.

With mines located there may be a Dump Truck Driving course or job located near you. You many, however prefer a fly in/fly out (FIFO) position, where you fly from a main centre to a remote mine site, in which case you need to consider:

What are the requirements in other states

Are meals and accommodation provided
How long are the shifts
