Cat 789D Pov of Walk around, Backing under the digger & driving to dump

Video was recorded in 2013, I use to work in the mines but was made retrenched in 2014.
I miss working in the mines, but the industry just isnt what it was back then.
Wish i had more video and a camera with better stability back then.

Years ago i had a much smaller big machine that i loaded, roaded and dumped with the roading being the longest part. Watching your POV (loved the music by the way) my mind scaled up the feeling of being connected to and moving that enormous mass against the gravity of the planet. That tremendous release when the load is again surrendered to the Earth and the change in the handling of the vehicle, the quicker return for the next load all put me back in my rig only at 10X the scale. WOW! i'm 60 years old and i never even dreamt of putting the driving one of those bad boys on my bucket list! Now i feel like i have. Thank you !:-) 💜🙏⚡️

Thanks Barry. I do miss the big equipment, I had reached my potential in the truck & was next to move up but was stopped by politics.

I'm Surprised, No Tape over the Vims Warning light, a must have on night shift. I drive a 793D for my job, and we have a few 777D's around for small/odd jobs.

Truck was only 12months old at that stage. The place was excellent with its maintenance until big Brazil took over & it went downhill. Hens why the place was closed
