A farm truck driver in the USA is responsible for transporting agricultural products, equipment, and supplies between fields, storage facilities, and markets, while adhering to safety and transport regulations

Load and unload cargo, which can involve physical labor, using equipment like forklifts or pallet jacks, or operating mechanisms such as grain augers or livestock ramps.

Perform routine pre-trip and post-trip inspections (tires, fuel, oil, lights, brakes), identify and report mechanical issues, and ensure the vehicle is clean and in safe working order.

wheat to a grain elevator is a core responsibility of a farm truck driver during harvest season. The process is a standardized sequence involving loading, transport, and a formal receiving procedure at the elevator.

farm worker operates an auger system to transfer the wheat from the grain cart into the large hopper-bottom trailer of the transport truck.The driver performs a full safety inspection of the truck and trailer, checking tires, lights, brakes, and fuel levels before leaving the farm for public roads.

Corn is harvested in the field by a combine and transferred to a grain cart.(basic)

• The driver ensures the load is secure and adheres to weight limits and transport safety regulations.

Quality Check: Feedlots are extremely selective about the quality of the corn because it makes up the vast majority (around 80-90%) of a finishing diet for cattle. Operators will sample the corn to check

• Presence of foreign materials, toxins, or spoilage (e.g., mold).
• Sometimes, specific starch or nutrient content is tested.

The driver receives a delivery receipt, which details the weight, quality grade, and origin of the corn

Manure Compost Operaton

Operate heavy machinery, such as tractors with loaders, skid steers, and dump trucks, to move raw manure, mix it with carbon sources (like straw, sawdust, or wood chips), and turn the compost piles regularly.Perform routine preventative maintenance (greasing, fueling, cleaning) on all composting equipment and report any mechanical issues promptly. A basic understanding of the composting process, including the balance of carbon/nitrogen ratios, is highly valued Strong attention to detail, good time management skills, and the ability to work independently or as part of a small team.

This role is critical for transforming farm waste into a valuable resource, supporting soil health, and reducing the farm's environmental impact.

Skid Steer Operator

Operates a compact, highly maneuverable machine with various attachments to perform a wide range of essential agricultural tasks, including material handling, livestock management, and general property maintenance. The operator is responsible for safe and efficient machine operation and routine maintenance. Use the skid steer with appropriate attachments (buckets, pallet forks, bale spears, grapples) to lift, move, and transport materials such as feed, hay bales, grain, manure, gravel, soil, and debris. Assist with cleaning animal housing areas, scraping pens, managing manure distribution, and moving feed from storage to feeding areas Perform tasks like snow removal from roadways, clearing brush and overgrown vegetation with mowers or brush cutters, repairing potholes on farm roads, and fence installation using auger attachments Conduct minor excavation, grading, and leveling of ground for new structures like barns or sheds Perform daily pre-operation safety inspections of the machine, checking fluid levels (oil, coolant, hydraulic fluid), tire pressure/track tension, safety devices, and controls.

• Adhere strictly to safety protocols, ensuring all safety systems (seat belts, operator restraint bars, protective guards) are functioning correctly.
• Operate the equipment safely around other personnel and machinery, ensuring the load is carried low to the ground to maintain stability.
• Report any mechanical defects or maintenance needs to a supervisor immediately.

Operating a forklift on a farm requires strict adherence to safety protocols and specific operational instructions due to uneven terrain and the nature of agricultural loads. Before starting the forklift, a thorough inspection is mandatory Never exceed the forklift's rated load capacity. Check the nameplate for limits.

• Ensure the load is centered, stable, and secure on both forks before moving. Use a backrest extension if needed to prevent the load from shifting backwards.
• Transport the load with the forks as low as possible to the ground (about 2-4 inches above the surface) and tilted back slightly.

Only tilt the mast forward when picking up or setting down a load.

• Transporting Telkom Equipment(Poles, Fibre and Micro duck, etc)
• Operated large cranes to lift and move materials with precision and accuracy.
• Ensured accurate load placement with expert use of rigging techniques and communication with ground crew members.
