Quoted from travis

"Loading pit let the person who is getting loaded finish before you pull in the way of the loader or the truck being loaded."

try that in a real pit you'll not only hear it you'll feel it in the azz .

Ya that one there is also common sense, for I have involved with actual pit activity too, and have seen this done the wrong way. It get annoying and dangerous!

Don't let me load anybody unless you want your sideboards dented or knocked off and dirt poured on your cab Ask SmallHaul That may have fixed it's self with the new radio though
:Beware: The night shift operators at our pit drive impaired and don't need no stinking lights

Aside from that, as far as age, I taught my kid when he was 4 to operate his minidozer and I caught alot of static at other shows we went to from the officials but he always proved to be a very responsible driver.

I went to a State Equipment (IH/Dresser Dealer ) equipment demo I got on a TD25 and started grading .that went fine till some elder zaelot complained that a "kid" was running a piece of equipment ( better then he ). Well when I got to get on the 200 loader ( Dressers only rear eng track loader) they said no your to young so I still didn't get on one , so I settled for a 953 and a 963 no biggy I'll take a blade or an excavator any day . I was operating equip. before I could drive started @ 5 on a 350 deer john need to bring home an fix for the next day every night loader

Looks like you guys need to hire a couple of Diesel Bears, to straighten this problem out.
