It's funny..I had never sat in a piece of machinery or pushed a wheel barrel around until I had my 1st landscaping job with Shelmerdine when I was younger, 2 seasons.
They just said, "Get in that Bob Cat and try it." the rest is history. Then they asked me to drive a Hino 3 tonne,and start dumping loads at sites. Next, get on that tractor/back hoe and lets pull some trees...dig a hole..ok..Trial under fire, but I enjoyed every minute of it..
Went on to regular construction after that..
Coincidence..
