How much do excavator operators make in the mines?

[IamBruce_Driver]

I have heard that some of the excavator operators earn a lot of money while working in the mining industry. Is it true?

Pay is high because the work is usually tough. It often means long shifts, working in remote locations, and dealing with FIFO (fly-in/fly-out) rosters.

You've nailed it. I have friends who operate heavy equipment in the mining site.
