Whats an ADT Dump Truck?

An articulated hauler, articulated dump truck (ADT), or sometimes a dump hauler, is a very large heavy-duty type of dump truck used to transport loads over rough terrain, and occasionally on public roads.

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.

Dump trucks can be found on mining sites, farms, industrial sites and construction sites.
