I'm semi-retired ill. For the previous 25 years I worked in the earthmoving industry, operating Dozers, Dumpies, Excavators, Frontloaders, rollers, Scrapers... basically playing in the sandpit :woohoo:
Before that I was a Winemaker for 20 years, starting in the Goulburn Valley then Seymour and finishing up in Red Hill, all in Victoria.
Whilst all that happened I had six kids, 3 wives and enough memories to last a lifetime plus my Vintage and Veteran and Classic Car Collection.

Not to add insult to injury but you will have to do your CPC every 5 years as well and take it from me that's a complete
waste of 25hrs and god knows how much money. :(

That's why I gave up on the class 1. Even the 7.5 t requires a medical every year when you get older so I let that go as well.

yeah forgot about that, oh the joy :P

but i would honestly put up with all the faffing to not be in a warehouse again. done that for 2 years and hated every bit of it and ended up having a fight with the manager at my last job because he was a bellend and allways tried to put me down and generally just be a dick (throwing things at me calling me names and so on) :angry: :angry:

so after flooring him i quit that job
