One Student + One Truck + One Training = Our Nationally Accredited Training.
Water truck training is in high demand. Why? Well, despite being relatively straightforward to drive, the bulk water truck is one of the most essential machines on a mine site. The critical role of a water cart operator is to drive around the site spraying water to suppress dust and meet the EPA standards. Without a water truck, excessive amounts of dust may stop operations on a mine site.
The My Solution Training water truck course is a great way to kickstart your career in mining and start earning the big bucks. Regardless of whether you have had prior machinery experience, or you are transitioning from a completely different career, it has never been easier to get the qualifications to become a water cart operator and enter the mining industry.
Even if you have the confidence to undertake Water Truck training, you may ask yourself the following questions:
- How would I handle something so big?
- Do I fit the mould of a miner? I am too young/old/tall/short/big/small/female to be able to drive one.
- How do I transfer my skills if my previous job had nothing to do with mining?
Rest assured that our team of experienced trainers have assisted people from all walks of life in completing the water cart course. Our trainers are mine-site professionals that can help you gain both your water cart license (ticket) and the confidence to use the bulk water truck on site.
With your determination and our help, we will have you succeeding as a water cart operator in no time.

Why Do The Water Truck Training?
Choosing to invest in your future with a water truck course at My Solution Training can help increase your chances of gaining employment.
Bulking out your mining resume with tickets such as your water truck training and dump truck training will help you stand out amongst a sea of applicants and show employers that you have the necessary drive and motivation needed to succeed in mining.
Many people choose to obtain their water cart license because:
- Water carts are automatic and are not overly technical.
- When combined with a dump truck ticket, you are considered a multi-skilled operator which opens up more work opportunities and a larger pay packet.
- Adding the water cart training to another ticket is cost-effective and makes you an asset to mining companies as you can work either machine when required.
- The water truck training course is an ideal starting point for anyone wishing to gain access to entry-level jobs in mining and other associated industries.
