YOU NEED A TONKA STICKER NOW
So Andrew I can safely assume your on the Level with us...
Next will be Uni as your assured good grades.

Going to hassle like pluck to get acredited for the new Excavator!!!!!.That and the grader ticket makes you pretty employable anywhere in the country.My ex boss who Fat Baz works with is hasseling me bigtime to come and operate their new semi side-tipper and low loader.
As of July 1 you need to be acredited for any machine you operate.
Staff swaps happening next week,there is a leading hand and OHS Safety rep position up for grabs,hoping to get the safety rep,too much grief involved with the leading hand position.

Well done Andy. Hope you've got an "AULRO" sticker on the grader.

We got a new Volvo digger (well new second-hand) on the job yesterday. It managed to walk up onto the heap, loaded two lizards and then died an electrical death. Took the sparkies nearly all day to sort it out. But that sort of thing can happen to anyone. I'm negotiating to buy a new IT in the next month or so as the company we were hiring the Cat from has gone broke. My preference is for a Volvo - I have previously bought L90 and L120 new and they were both brilliant machines (didn't have automatic and cruise control though).

what, you guys actually seek out reps positions??? We dont even have a comittee due to total lack of interest.

once our reps have been appointed by the workers we usually have to beg the guy to take the position

Hi Crump
Under the new rules there has to be one.In the past the others have got a level increase to cover doing it,that would give me level 6.We also get paid 15% above the award,so doing should work out in the$$$ department,plus there are quite a few safety issues around Im not happy with that need sorting out before there is an accident.
BMKal,saw a nice loader on a float heading thru town yesterday,probably on its way to Ravensthorpe.It had its cab bucket and wheels removed to transport it,AND 2 PRIME MOVERS LINKED TOGETHER TO DRAG IT,it was a brand new Cat 994F,what a monster!!!!
