Thanks for the information. Start in three days driving a 2019 T800 tri-axle dump, with trailer hauling heavy equipment and aggregate/asphalt. Great tips and common sense approach. Peace on...
Don't fprget to lock the tailgate for the next load... Sometimes dump trucling gets monotonous, & you forget to take the PTO out or lock the gate.. It happens. I remember when there were no buttons. You pulled a cable/handle from the floor to engage the PTO, Moved a lever between the seats for up & down < Had a handle outside the cab for the tailgate no air or hydraulics ..all manual
I have one main question, what is it necessary to push the clutch in to operate the PTO? Do you have to hold the clutch in in order to operate the PTO and when should you press the clutch for the PTO? When bringing the dump back down, do you have to press the clutch in at all? Thanks for any feedback
Do you have to hold the clutch in when lifting the dump up? My main thing that I'm trying to understand is when is it necessary to press the clutch to operate the PTO
I would imagine the biggest safety issue with some types of garbage trucks is the ones with the front loader forks i.e ( The analogy would be a skid steer in terms of construction vehicles /possible forklifts) ...As if not properly operated you could dump tons of weight on yourself/front of vehicle.
That’s interesting about the tag axle. I never knew that was that much to a dump truck. I’m trying to get a job driving a dump truck, going today actually to apply. Got to ask you, what’s in the bucket in the floorboard? Just curious.
yes actually there is a definite difference in route length for dump trucking. You can spend a week trucking a half mile on site all day or haul asphalt which can be 100-200mile round trips. I've driven tt and dump truck and enjoy both. I do watch videos like this because you never know what tricks you might learn from someone else. Hope that answered your question even tho i think you just felt like leaving a sarcastic comment
Bobcat325 ok cool I can see the reason for turning left and right but what is the reason for a stoplight? I just got mine and I appreciate the heads up
Don't limit your self to just dump trucks consider running concrete most company's have a couple dump trucks start with what you can get and look for a better company when you have experience
Lot's of Dump jobs down here in Florida.. We have several companies in my 1 town that have dumps & always hiring One company has over 75 tri-axles. It's also easier down here . Everything is flat & sand, not like up north in New England where I learned . Rocks/boulders & a lot of hills.
You have to pick it up on tight street turns just enough to take pressure off. then put it back down, unless you have a axle that turns with you as you turn. If you don't pick it up the truck will slide thru the corner.
I see u also have toilet paper I like that safety first 😃😎 I love d video I'm starting a new job driving dump truck so I'm a little nervous 😅 thnks f d video
I know this is an old video…but I am 52 years old. I decided to make a career change after covid. I left my job after 22 years in a warehouse offloading trucks and shipping containers. I got my CDL B. License last year. I’m still trying to find the right fit. I’m looking at a few dump truck companies outside Philly. Hopefully I can find something that encourages new inexperienced cdl drivers. I have a couple questions. 1)Does the dump truck driver get out of the truck to do any digging, tampering or excavating or does he/she just stay in truck to drive and operate it? I don’t mind stretching my legs out and getting my hands dirty but at my age, I’m not trying to do too much physical work at this stage of my life. 2) what is better? Getting paid by the load? Or paid by the hour? One place said that they start new drivers at $22.-23/hr. 8-10 hour days. Another place said $230-250/ day no overtime. They give 30-50$ over 40hours. Can you or any of your followers help give me some idea before applying there?
I sub'd! I would like to be a dump-truck driver as a second job... I heard it is hard to get a job... I wonder if any company would train you and have you work for them. I don't want to straight drive a big rig and be gone for days/weeks on the road. I like the construction site, so I'd like to drive a dump - truck and that ways, I can be home daily to lay in my bed...
@@Bobcat325 , not in the Western Side of Ohio though... They are very picky about who they pick. They usually want you to do OTR but I have too many obligations like rental multi-units to attend to with tenants, so I have to stay grounded... I only would like to do something part-time (PT) during my extra time, but preferably in CONSTRUCTION such as a dump-truck... However, despite a few ads, whenever I call, they often require prior CDL/OTR... A couple of companies in Ohio claimed to be training for dump-trucks, but I contacted them, and instead, they tried to get me to do OTR...lol. I would do TANKERS/GAS TANKERS or DUMP-TRUCKS only at this time (I may also consider delivery of heavy-equipment such or delivery such as with UPS trucking, but I have to be home daily)... just to keep me occupied during my leisure between acquisition and TLC of multi-units... I guess I'd just cut them all off and just start my own DUMP-TRUCK/TANKER/TRUCKING company because I easily could...
Thanks for the lesson!
Love the tufted headliner!

Bobcat325 Thanks buddy👍👍👍

I usually step on clutch, put truck in gear, engage PTO, take truck out of gear and release clutch
looking at new truck do you think that Inter-lock diff and full locking dif are both necesssary on 66k tri axel dump
@@Bobcat325 Thanks, it only has Inter-lock dif not full lockers
You work for CCI in syr?
ThankYou

Probably hydraulic oil
It's the shitter
Good video!
Good video thanks a lot tha will help me .. I just got my cdl license 😀
Thanks
Good run through. How bad is it if you forget to take pto out?
Yeah & your body could go up if you forget to check where the button is
Hey bud do you have to drop the suspension before you dump like an end-dump? ......so you dont blow an air bag?
No this truck doesn't have air ride suspension with the airbags.
Has different kind of suspension
great video man
Thanks
Good video
Pretty cool I'm starting a new job Monday running one of theese... been driving a semi for 14 years decided to get into this
short haul dump trucking is awful lol. I like driving tt for longer runs. It can be very monotonous but hey you might like it.
so awful you spend your nights looking at short haul triaxle dump truck videos lol. whats the opposite? long haul triaxle dump trucking? lmao
yes actually there is a definite difference in route length for dump trucking. You can spend a week trucking a half mile on site all day or haul asphalt which can be 100-200mile round trips. I've driven tt and dump truck and enjoy both. I do watch videos like this because you never know what tricks you might learn from someone else. Hope that answered your question even tho i think you just felt like leaving a sarcastic comment
Do you have to double clutch for an 18 speed in a triaxle?
No. 👍
do you drop the axle when unloading the dump truck?
No not if on level ground ,etc. ,but if on little angle and it needs to be dumped there I'll then lower the tag axle for more support
You still have this truck
Question my dude, why do you raise the axles at a stoplight
You only raise your axle when you turn left or right. Stop sign or stop light. Etc. And raise it when backing up too.
Bobcat325 ok cool I can see the reason for turning left and right but what is the reason for a stoplight? I just got mine and I appreciate the heads up
Very nice truck
👍
What PSI do run in the drop axle?
60 psi
The good party this is real am enjoying right now
was wondering, i just got my class a cdl, do you know of any companies that are looking for drivers with little to no eperience for dump trucks??
depends on where you live. where you live
Don't limit your self to just dump trucks consider running concrete most company's have a couple dump trucks start with what you can get and look for a better company when you have experience
Or haul equipment bitches

Can you drop that third axle while driving or do you have to be at a complete stop?
@@Bobcat325 thank you! I drive 10 wheeler dump truck and never drove tri-axle so this is good to know!
@@Bobcat325 wouldn't want that to happen! That's good advice and thank you again!
You have to pick it up on tight street turns just enough to take pressure off. then put it back down, unless you have a axle that turns with you as you turn. If you don't pick it up the truck will slide thru the corner.
Sometimes you forget to put it down when you leave the pit or yard.. Like I said it gets boring, but I loved dump trucks
thank I learn A lot
No problem. 10-4
™Do you have to obtain a Class A or B for a Dump Truck?
Sammy at least a B for straight trucks
Thanks
Yup you got it.
I see u also have toilet paper I like that safety first 😃😎 I love d video I'm starting a new job driving dump truck so I'm a little nervous 😅 thnks f d video
Always carry toilet paper for personal emergencies & a roll of duct tape & a couple basic tools.
JOSE Rodriguez how did it go Jose?
Sir if we have two trailers then how to operate both
You dump the end trailer first , then unhook end trailer and dump first trailer then hook em all back up. Its a process pullin a pup trailer dump
Are you an owner operator or company driver? Thanks for the info
Bobcat325 is the pay much better as an owner?
Pay is better as a owner but you also have to shove out money if anything breaks or tears up when other hand the company would fix it

Hourly is better. Dumptruck work depends on company if you get out and labor or strictly driving. They'll tell you.
The supervisor is wondering why is it taking 7minutes to dump your load. Lol!
Roger that
