Nice work

I was over the road driver and now looking for something local like a dump truck driver what are your recommendations?

Dear Sir, I hope this message finds you well. I’ve been following your journey in the dump truck business on RUclips and have been truly inspired by your success and insights. I obtained my CDL-A license in 2018, but I haven’t utilized it as I was a teacher until recently. I made a quiet exit from teaching due to the constant scrutiny from superiors and the increasing difficulty of the job, despite my love for the students. I am now seeking a career change into the dump truck industry and would greatly appreciate your advice on getting started. Specifically, I am interested in whether I should initially work for a union or non-union company. I’ve seen many trucks on the road and assume there are pros and cons to both. Additionally, I’m curious if it would be wise to gain a year or two of experience before purchasing my own truck and starting my own business. I value being home with my family daily or every other day and want to ensure this career choice supports that goal. Your guidance would mean a lot to me as I look for a positive change and a successful future in this industry. Thank you for your time and advice. Best regards, John

Iam looking dump truck to driver

Don't ever work under a lifted box if it is not blocked up so there is no pressure on the hydraulic system.

Impressive backing up skills 💪 chingon El vato 😂

Do you like driving a manual transmission or automatic?

Hang in there and be proactive on maintenance

I was a feed truck driver and I forgot to put up my feeder spout and I bent it really bad. Thank fully you dont move fast in a cattle feed lot but still 😅

Keep going bro 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻

So you do the digginng, scooping and hauling? Did you have to get certified for the heavy equipment? is it hard to learn? what state

We all make mistakes and learn from it love you brother keep up the good work.

I learned belly dumps the day I was hired! I stopped on the way to the quarry and figured out how to open the gate!! I asked a million questions to anybody who was around!! I made every mistake in the world! Forgot to open my tarp once and collapsed it with a full scoot from the loader!! Once I even hit my fifth wheel disengagement switch instead of the differential lock out!! There right above one another and I wasn't thinking and did that!! Thank God there weren't any other trucks on the job site so really quick the loader used a chain to keep my trailer from sliding sideways and lifted it up I dropped my bags and backed right under it slid my pin pulled up and dragged it through the sand got out hooked up my glad hands and lights!! I pulled out the wires from my lights plug!! Pulled back to the shop and told the mechanic that a tree branch got in-between the trailer and tractor and pulled all the stuff out!! Took about 20 minutes to fix!! Oh yeah, one time I was tarping up and instead of my tarp I hit the gate switch and all my rock poured out of the bottom!! So I had to dump all of it there and circle back to the pit and reload!! Running a dump truck takes time to learn and requires skills to put the product where the customer wants it!! 80,000lbs!! You have to be careful on job sites to not hit stuff like new curbs pipes other equipment ect... If you are new ask questions and listen to everything people tell you!! I've been doing it for about 10yrs now and wouldn't change a thing ❤❤❤!!

Brother is becoming a dump truck owner operator still worth it??

Nice accomplishment man keep up the good work Stay focused

Nice work! love the content you put out, definitely something I admire! 🙌🏽

Dude those are some amazing backing skills . Just got my license and looking for a first job. I hope I get to this level one day

Good stuff. Thanks for sharing.

Like to get a ,,drump truck license 💓💓

Good on you man. Working towards the same goals myself! Love the 800!

Hey boy you got a cdl

Crap most of those aren't mistakes. I work for a county road department as a truck driver. I lost my mud flap several times last summer when we were gravelling shoulders. It happens. You forget to hang it and back up against the box and it gets yanked off. Tarps get damaged. We just had one of ours rip off on one of pups when we were hauling sand. Oh well. It was an old one any way. Hitting the curb on the scale is a big boo boo but I can see how it happens especially if you are in a hurry. I creep on and off the scales. Probably piss people off behind me but I don't need to hit anything. Fortunately we don't go on scales very often as we maintain our own stock piles and don't have to replenish them too often. Mistakes I made so far have been few but big. I accidentally hit the switch for the sander when I didn't have a sander mounted on the truck and that caused the sight gauge to melt and I lost all the hydraulic fluid in my truck driving down the road (we use an environmentally safe fluid). I hit a low branch and ripped the strobe light and county radio antenna off. We all make them.

How much do you make with a Super 10 per load vs per hour?

🤟

Look for someone who can replace the damaged part of the hub spindle in Texas I’ve seen “The axle surgeon”

At least you admit your mistakes! Not like some that don't! Keep learning! Good luck!

I'm happy for you man keep up on your dump truck you'll get it you're doing well

Mistakes are the best way to learn

Very cool! What size trailer is that and well as what size is your excavator?

How much you pay for that dump truck I heard they go for wayyy more than semi trucks.

Is that a manual. My CDL school wants 1500 more to teach me manual so might just get the automatic

Hello from Goldsmith Trucking llc, we have a Mack Super, in the Spokane Washington area, Nice video shots drones are sweet

Losing mud flaps is a common occurrence when paving. Even when you hook them up and out of the way. Some pavers like to pull and tear them right off. It happens.

You need to do your pre check!!!!! Absolutely NO EXCUSES. all the things you listed were completely completely avoidable if you would just do your pre-trip. Rather in your post trip. And for the number one thing you listed you need to watch where you’re driving essentially. I mean that’s the fundamental thing watch over your steering. Good luck be safe God bless.

Driving dump truck ain't as easy as it seems

You did a very good job backing the trailer for a new driver well done

у вас на видео есть руччкая речь! вы говорите порусски?

Good job buddy God bless you 👍🚛💰

Great job using trench box!!!I would only suggest get your ground guy tag lines on that box he shouldn't be moving the pressure and twisting with his hands but other then that great job!!!

Great camera work!! I’m planning to buy a dump truck without experience , wish me luck bro.

Thanks for sharing your trials and tribulations. One thing is for sure,you won't succeed if you don't try. Peace and much success to you in the business.

Congratulations and keep up the hard work!! May AHAYAH bless you. Shalom

I'm just like you , trying to do dumptruck! What's your advice?

I hope progress will start on house soon

This happened to us on Monday of this week. We were so happy we followed safety. Good experience!

Hey guys, let me know if you liked the video and let me know if there’s anything else you want to see about the truck or the work I do.

Awesome work!!!
