Australian Mining Road Train Driver and Employment

Mine companies commonly use large trucks to move materials around from one site to another. A person who operates this type of truck is commonly referred to as a Road train driver. Working as a Road train driver is a very rewarding job and is not physically demanding as other jobs in this line of work can be. Some Mining companies offer salaries of up to $100,000 a year.

If you are looking to gain this type of position, then you may want to know:

what license/s you need
if there are traineeships available
whether you need mining and/ or Road train driver experience
what sort of training is required and where to get it
what certification is required
and how soon you can start
Considering there is a large number of mine sites located throughout Australia, there may be a Road train driver position available close to where you live. Otherwise you may be interested in a fly in/ fly out (FIFO) position.

Depending on the type of mine you work at will determine the type of materials that will be required to be transported.
