In today’s modern world, a dump truck is a truck used for transporting loose material such as sand, gravel, or dirt to and for construction sites. The ADT dump truck trainer that we offer makes sure that a candidate understands the true environment of the truck.
Dump Truck Operators can be expected to work in noisy environments, especially inside dump-the truck cabin which can vibrate quite a lot when in operation. Dump Truck Operators are expected to work in all kinds of weather conditions, and to be confident in handling all kinds of equipment, parts and industrial materials.
