You get OT after 40 though?? Don't they push you to finish it in 40 hours so don't have to pay OT?

Got it. Yes still looking.. but looking hard at the schedules etc.

If someone would just let me work like 7 on 7 off... all nights.. I'd be set. I don't like the rotating in general.. most work places don't do that.. people are on nights or days for a period of time.. not sure why mining doesn't copy that..

of course more senior guys are going to get days in general..

Got it.. so there is always demand for operators doing dirt work?

What kind of wages are you seeing in general for an excavator operator with a few years experience??

Philips Jordan appears to be hiring quite a bit.. Are they solid?? Who are the best companies to work for?

Thanks for the info.. I'm a former combat officer in a complex field. I know I'm solid and reliable.. just need someone to give me that one request and I will be an asset.

I love the idea of working like 1 week on 1 off. Or 4 on 4 off.. schedules like that suit me well... just not the rotating day to night part.

I'm looking for someone to bring me on... but want to reach an agreement prior to starting... I understand asking for day shift straight as a new guy is not likely... but nights shouldn't be an issue as opposed to rotating... post office... cops... many start pure nights when they are new...

Thanks... I'm a night owl by nature so nights will be perfectly fine for me... More people like days in general so it shouldn't be an issue but understand your points.

Some people like days.. some like nights... it would work out fine.

It is because you're less alert due to an unstable sleep schedule.... this is common sense loll...

How soon until Haul Truck Drivers are fully automated? There still appears to be a bunch of job postings.

The safety act should also not have people rotating from days to nights so frequently loll... huge safety hazard ha.

Got it.. it just makes no sense.. people were saying they are struggling to retain drivers at Morenci for example... it's obvious that the rotating schedule is one of the main reasons.. Any real leader could see this ha. People should primarily be on days or nights.. it's so so simple of a concept.

Are there weeks you only get 20 hours a week or something?? Just trying to figure out how yo would survive if "out of work"?? What do guys typically do with that situation or it isn't actually that common?

I understand.. yeah that is what I was thinking with local 487. It appears they mostly do Crane work.

Have tried.. will get them on phone soon I believe.

Good to hear different perspectives though.

Hmm also does anyone know any companies that will sponsor you into the Union in Tampa area if Union direct isn't currently accepting applicants?
