The salaries offered to workers vary: from a minimum of 626 to a maximum of 5,500 rubles.
But most often, employers are willing to pay tractor drivers between 1,000 and 1,500 rubles.
Features of work
Probably, many people know who a tractor driver is. And also that most often his work is used in agriculture.
However, workers are also needed in other areas: they are involved in construction, forestry, housing and communal services, the transport industry, road works, etc.
The main feature of the specialist's activity is professional control of a tractor (wheeled and tracked).
This leads to another specific feature of the profession: the worker must understand the equipment entrusted to him.
He also prepares it for work, checks that everything is in order before leaving and after use, and in the event of a breakdown, he must fix it (to the best of his ability).
In addition, the tractor driver monitors the consumption of fuel and lubricants.
If the work is related to the delivery of goods, ensures high-quality transportation, monitors loading and unloading.
Among other things, a tractor driver must know and comply with traffic rules, as well as safety precautions and labor protection rules.
Terms and Conditions
Due to the specific nature of the work, many employers prefer to see hardy people without health problems on their staff.
Why? Because it often implies difficult working conditions.
In particular, great responsibility, enormous physical and psychological stress, the presence of stressful situations.
The tractor driver is responsible both for the equipment and for the quality and volume of tasks he performs.

– B, C, D, E – control of wheeled and tracked special equipment of different power;
