I work for the local county road department. Been around trucks and equipment all my life, but only really started operating when I got hired here about 2 years ago. They've had me on our 938G and 966G Series II loaders the most. Spent some time in the wide track D6R, and alot of time in 140H graders mixing millings. Every once and a while they throw me on a backhoe to clean ditches and little cleanup work when doing subgrade work. I run our Bearcat chipspreader also. Next month we start chipsealing hopefully, got about 100 miles to do this year I've also spent alot of time on rollers... 9 wheel rubber tires, steel wheels and sheepsfoot rollers. We just got a new 140M grader that they have me on all the time lately. Nobody likes them because everything is joystick... I like it, took a while to get used to but I'm getting the hang of it grading dirt roads. They want me to train on it and be the next finish blade with it since noone likes the joysticks and I do
