I work at the Decatur,Il Caterpillar plant. I get to weld these together almost daily....as well as the 770/772/777. I was on the "big truck" line as well (789/793). Love welding these up!!!

I drive a 775G at a limestone quarry near Marshall,Il. You probably burned some metal on it, it's a 2019. Used to paint cars for the ideal dealership up there in Decatur, does it smell any better n' it did 15 years ago?

@@twillison8824 Heck yeah...good chance I burned wire on your ride...I started in early 2019. Thats pretty cool! That Ideal auto is still there....and nope,it's not any better smelling here! Lol. Be safe,and thanks for the comment!!!

Good insight into what to expect to drive a vehicle of this size . Recently applied for a job that uses these vehicles this video gave me some knowledge to use going into the training and makes me a bit less apprehensive

Drove this exact truck the other day in a large mine. So much fun once you get over the size of it (nerve racking at first for me)

looks good to me. I am in the process of getting a haul truck job in BC so I appreciate the insight since I have never actually even driven any kind of truck. I have been in side of a dump truck but this is a different beast. My only concern is those winding roads on the sides of those very steep and high cliff sides. Will take some getting use to I think. On The other hand I think based on normal driving that I might not even be able to tell while driving. Or at least I hope so🥴😄

Did you get the job? How does one get a job like that? I'm in Manitoba, Canada and looking to get in a mine to drive one of these but no idea where to start. More difficult because I don't have experience. I have a class 1 licence and I'm hoping that will at least help me in a way. any input will be greatly appreciated.

What’s the purpose of float on the dump control?
@UniWonder Жыл бұрын
IIRC you keep it in float. It helps to cushion the load during loading kind of like a cushion hitch for a scraper. It's been a few years since I ran this.

I never sounded the horn before starting but some employers require it depending on the situation. I had already done my inspection, so no worries about safety.
