- Bob at Fox Consulting Services loads an end dump trailer with a Hyundai HL 760 loader. This is unedited footage.
The HL 760 is a very nice machine to operate.
The high pitched whistling is the turbo on the Cummins on the truck.

.....We did not have to share machines, and one of the instructors pretty much catered to me the whole time I was there (which was great). I have long paid all that off, as well as a new truck so in my mind the course has been a very good investment.
Good to hear it. The best way to learn about a school like IHE or Fox is from guys like you and me who've been there. Much better than a sales pitch from the school itself.
I started out going through a few introductory courses through the Local 115 before I decided to go to IHE (being right out of high school, it was an excellent choice). IHE was really good, I looked at Fox as well but I told myself if Im paying that kind of money Im going where I thought was the best. Being young I didn't mind the theory part of the course as it gave me somethen to build my skills on (I had only operated a bit before the course). continued....
Don't know about the 'one arm' thing, Ron.
I'll be uploading more later, but it will have to wait until I get home next week, if the wife will let me spend a few hours editing vids. I just can't do any meaningful editing on this slow ass craptop that I'm using while away.
Fox is a great school; I've really been enjoying my six weeks here.
You'll be 18 B4 U know it, Willy. No sweat.
Thx 4 the words.
I went there for certification purposes. It's getting harder to get a good job at a good company lately, unless one has a little piece of paper that says "I'm an operator".
I got tired of rookie operators getting good jobs just because they have certification, while I get passed over for the lack of it.
Hopefully it will make a difference.
Lots more coming later, John.
Thanks.
We weren't really in a hurry though.
lol - I'm getting the long distance Honey Do list! She thinks I'm at school so I won't have to 'deal with my responsibilities at home'.
Yep. Lots of chores coming my way in a few days, I'm afraid...
Somewhere in one of the less humid areas of BC, just outside of city limits.
Merritt would be okay, or maybe Kamloops, Rock Creek, Osoyoos, etc.
Does the operator only have 1 arm?
Beautiful country you are in, such a change form the usual.
Yes. They're talking about a year out from now. No point waiting though; I had the opportunity, so I went for it.
It was. But it was worth every penny. I had to pay about $1300, while you, me, and the rest of us picked up the tab for the rest of it, which was quite a bit more than that.
Starting next week, I'll be applying at companies around BC, mostly in the interior, as I want to sell my house and move out of the Vancouver area to somewhere less humid.
I've got a bit of work over on the Island - probably about a month's worth, which is about two weeks finished.
I'll still be looking for a job when this one's over, unless I get lucky before then.
At least on this job, I'm getting some practice operating a road grader; not a lot, mind you, but some. Maybe that'll pay off later with a future job.
great video
How was IHE? I almost went there too. It was a toss up between them and Fox, and I went with Fox mainly because they were closer to where I live. Did you have to spent time sitting in a class, or sharing machines with other students, etc? Or was it pretty good that way. At Fox, 100% of the time was on a machine, not wasted sitting at a table, or watching someone else operate equipment. OTS was really bad for that when I was there back in '91.
but when the certification comes in officially we'll all have to go back and get re-certified...
well being a "young greenhorn" i looked into everything before i spent my $12000 on school and what the IHE(accredited school) told me is that once Red Seal Certification comes in everyone in the industry will have to go to be tested and certified regardless of what they've done blah blah blah. anyways enough of that, best of luck finding work, although layoffs seem inevitable (being laid off twice myself!).
Meanwhile, after checking into things, I usually learn that while I sit at home, the junior guys are out working, and I learn where they're working. When I ask the boss, he doesn't hesitate to tell me that they're all sitting at home, just like me. I guess he figures that I can't connect the dots or something.
There are other things as well, that I don't need to get into here, but as with all companies, they have their good points and bad points.

nice video ...but why did you went to fox? i mean, you operate already equipment...does it was a perfectionning course?
isn't HEO certification still in the process of being completed, only ontario and other provinces have an actual certification...?
did you manage to find any work up north or around vancouver...?
Well Sarg, it's like this....
I've been at FT since '96, and they'd be happy to keep me until I grow old and die. But as the senior operator for the company, it leaves a very bad taste in my mouth that they consistently send out the junior operators, two of whom it would be a stretch to even call operators, while I sit at home, simply because they are cheaper, and also take about twice as long to do the same job (more hours for the company).
Continued...
Me neither, but it did perform better than I would have expected. I still like a JD much better though.
I won't. I already checked into that. That was part of why I chose the school I did, because they already have gov't accreditation, along with a small handful of other equipment schools. There are lots that are allowed to teach, but with most of them, the government does not recognize the certification as legitimate.
Then again, that could all change tomorrow. So maybe you'll be right after all. They seem to change things with the wind these days.
agreed that the operator is slow but I think the hyundai beats CAT in fuel consumption.. Nothing beats Ljungby and Volvo :)
l.o.l. that hyundai can eat a lot of kimchi :P
thats only stone buddy dont be afraid to take a bite that loaders got what it takes for some 3/4 stone come on now, and try to load the truck a little more evenly and efficiently
But for me the bad points outweigh the good ones. So it's time to move on. I actually tried that before, but came back because the other companies were worse.
As far as the certification goes, it comes down to what I've been able to observe; I see lot's of young, inexperienced operators getting hired to run new equipment for some of the better companies, while older and more experienced guys like me are getting passed over.
Continued...
looks like this loader needs a new operator
Nope. Still trying to though...
So the more I looked into why this is happening, the more I was told "They have certification, and you don't. And a lot of the companies won't even look at you unless you have it."
So I decided to put the theory to the test. Now I have that little piece of paper that calls me an 'operator' on hoes, cats, loaders, graders, and backhoes.
I'm going to take my time, and TRY to be careful about what companies I work for, but it's hard to know which ones to avoid.
Operators no good
