I’ve been checking out ATS heavy equiptment operation school down in Florida… Any one on here into that field? I’ve always loved messing around on bobcats/front loaders ect… Never drove anything too big but I’d be serious in a career in this field that’s why I am asking if anyone on here is into it. It would work perfect for me too, as i’d have winters off… and I also know a few people who work for the state, as well as private contractors. ---

I know there is an operating engineers union right down the road from me with a training program. [http://www.iuoe17.org/](http://www.iuoe17.org/) ---

i dont think you could go wrong being an operator, always seems to be work and the pay is excellent.
