Thanks LR09WA, Jon and Dave, I've rung around a few different driving schools to get the heavy rigid licence, shouldn't be too difficult only problem at this stage is getting a booking, most of them are booked out two months in advance.

Can you guys tell me what sort of things I would need to put in my resume in order to be considered? ie, what the companies would be looking for specifically? I have a really good agricultural resume but I don't think a mining company is going to want to know how many thousand sheep I was responsible for.

Gary, you have no idea how often that used to crop up when I told people what I did for a living. Though what did suprise me was how much stick a couple of Irish backpackers gave me, the fame of the kiwi's must have spread afar.

Thanks everyone. Jonathan.

A first aid certificate (St. John's 2 day course) is always an assett and often a requirement.

Jonathan,

I know we have put on quite a few staff in the last few weeks. I know from my own experience they have been putting us through first aid courses and others have been getting truck licenses at the companies expense (not me, I already have HC).

I can email you my CV if you want to have a look at it. I am by no means a proffesional writer of resumes, but it hasn't let me down yet.

My guess is the only thing against you as far as the place I work for is your age. My understanding is that insurance on vehicles is a lot higher for younger drivers.

I have looked at the mines but No fifo available for roadtrain drivers
