Your questions about used heavy construction equipment

Whats the answer for big trucks & heavy equipment?

I’m talking about Semi-Trucks, construction equipment, and also big pickups that farmers and construction workers use. These vehicles run on diesel and get below 10mpg. But they are needed to do big jobs and big-rigs are what transports our goods from coast to coast. Can technology improve the mpgs or is there a viable alternative fuel?

Looking for job using heavy equipment.?

My husband is looking to change jobs. He operates heavy equipment, such as bulldozers, backhoes, etc. He would like to find another job that pays $11.00+ / hour, with a 40+ hours /work week. He has 15+ years experience operating equipment doing construction, grading, stock tanks & ponds, lakes, fence lines, pushing coal, roads & right-of-ways, housepads (foundations), etc. He may be willing to relocate for the right job/pay.

If, anyone has information about this type of employment, please let me know the location, company name and possibly a phone number, so that we may contact them. Thank you for taking the time to read my question.

Are you supposed to bury one Grandparent’s coffin vault (being relocated), next to the other DURING funeral?

Grandmom past away 10 years ago. But my Dad & Uncles want to relocate her plot to a newer less cramped spot. But My Grandfather passed just recently and they wanted to do it all at the same time, meaning her coffin’s vault was dug up and put on a flatbed next to the funeral for my Grandfather. Then DURING the funeral both Grandparents were laid to rest at the same time in the new plot. There were heavy construction equipment used to lower my Grandmom’s coffin vault into the burial plot, but it took 45 minutes because the hole dug wasn’t large enough etc. It was all kinda clumsy and made some of us very uncomfortable. I’m not in the know on these things (thank goodness) but does all this seem odd to anyone? Or is it just me? Thanks!

Would going to Heavy Equipment training School be a good career choice?

Hi, I am looking for a career change. I am a 40 year old male. I have been a tree trimmer all my life. Body parts especially my knees are starting to give out. My back is also in bad shape. Its pain free for the moment but there is good potential for pain.
I’m looking for someoness opinion on my heavy equipment
school idea. I haven’t done alot of construction work in my life and I wouldn’t want to start as a bottom grunt at the age of 40. Would learning to use the heavy equipment be a good choice for me. I have done work in smaller equipment like backhoes, bobcats, lift trucks etc and I not only enjoy but I usually learn pretty quick how do to a decent job with them. Do these jobs pay well, do these jobs offer health benefits and retirement plans. Are they year round or seasonal. Is travel an option in the winter to keep up the hours. Any information I get towards this so I can make a decision would be helpful.

Thanks Everyone
