Are heavy equipment trucks hard to drive?

Yes, I haven't forgotten I'm a girl (or a lady). But I've always wanted to drive bulldozers and backhoes---the big construction vehicles. I see them pass by a car I ride and my eyes sparkle. LOL I also want to operate that thing with the huge metal ball attached to it that ruins buildings, what's that called? Anyway, do you think I can drive one? Or is it impossible without any experience? Is it just a man's job? :(

One time, my father was teaching me to drive. I drove a van and its heavy. With bulldozers and other big trucks? I am sure they can be very heavy and hard to manipulate. I've seen women drove trucks though. Maybe we'll just have to practice lol

LOL I think a Volkswagen is cute but I still think that bulldozers and backhoes are way more fun haha! I still don't know what the truck with a heavy metal ball is called...

Yeah, I think that would be the hardest thing to do...make it do and go where you want it to. And considering that I'm 5'1" and around 110 lbs I don't think I have that much command power LOL

Hello! Yes, I think it's much more difficult than driving a car because it's huge and it will be hard to control. I imagine that you also need to be precise with this kind of vehicles, especially if you work with them! But if it's only for fun then why not? Don't limit yourself, you can do it! Or at least try it!

Yes, it is just for fun. I don't know anyone though who'd trust me with this vehicle. Plus I don't know anyone who'd allow me to ruin their buildings with the big metal ball...hope this dream comes true though!

Haha! You want to ruin buildings etc? I think your best chance is to drive a heavy vehicle in an open space or a field if you find someone who will allow you to drive his vehicle!
