Answer 1

if you are a woman they will give you a job because they recon that women are better drivers and you need to look with labour co.op and stipulate that this is what you want

Answer 2

I live in a western Queensland mining town and women are preferred to drive the big dump trucks as they are easier on the gears and equipment in general.....I know wages for this start at about $60k and up! for a 4on/4off roster.....

Answer 4

I don't know what kind of mining they have there, but my family is from nevada. Most of my family works at a gold mine there.  When starting without experience you usually start in the lab or janitorial. If you have any experience with heavey equipment then you can start as a dump truck driver or water truck driver.
