Awesome video Brian. Glad to see the truck working double shifts for ya, that helps the wallet out. The words about the backup beeper bout had me rolling in the floor buddy.
If you can go with minimal beeps by the grinder operator it means you're doing a great. I like to load mine really heavy to the front in the beginning so you don't have a pile in the middle and nothing in the front.
They say that anyone can haul mix. It takes a good driver to make it look easy. Which in the end makes the looker think it's a simple easy paying job. Lies. The driver is fooling you. It's not as easy as it looks. The driver is talented and well seasoned!!
Well, today, just about anyone is hauling asphalt, concrete too. There are not many good or even average drivers these days. IF, you've common sense, and you work like YOU own the place, this type work, or any other, is simple. Many fools driving these days went to school for it, and they still haven't a clue.
@@JamesSmith-jq2jc @James Smith hauling concrete has a life of it's own....hauling anything in a city is easy...when you're hauling on country roads it's a totally different animal. Not just anyone can do it, everyone has to learn from the start. Asphalt is a lot easier than concrete any day of the week.
Yes that's right those big paver jobs can make for along day! I pulled pneumatics powder trains. We were on McCarren airport runway repave. When I got to the job site. I was the 13th truck in line. Got lucky after being there for an hr the plant broke so I took my wagons to the yard. Then it took forever to get them. 😡
Never ran a strong arm.. debating between that and a six axle solo though down here in Oregon. Any real advantages to a strong arm vs a six axle other then what the vehicle can haul?
The only reason to tarp it is so the cold air flowing over it during transport doesn't cool it down and make s shell that cloth doesn't keep heat it its more of a wind breaker
@@BRIANVANDUYN wow that’s awesome. What don’t you like about it. Seems like it my be harder to do road work with a strong arm because you have to worry about the length of the strong arm behind the truck and you can’t see it ?
@@BRIANVANDUYN why not take off your strong arm if you don’t like it and just run the truck as a six axle. I want to start my own trucking company. I probably wouldn’t get a truck with a strong arm. It’s just one more thing to have serviced on the truck
Had a tri axle with a high lift gate get stuck... (It was the bed that wouldn't raise, $60 Solenoid that would take 10hrs to get) they scooped what they could out with a backhoe, then set a Toro Dingo in the back with some shovels and brooms and with a couple 6x6 to ramp it up on in the bed to clear the side of the bed they got it cleaned out for the biggest part. I wouldn't wanna been in the bed of that truck and it at least Mid 80°F out on a sunny day, with Asphalt in it.
That's actually really good, Im allowed 55 on the truck and 50 on the pup, would be much easier for dumping asphalt with the super dump, less time waiting in line lol
Rock, sand, dirt, asphalt, Washington state has some strict bridge laws basically has to do with the weight per axle on the ground to spread out the weight id the load to not damage the roads. California is even worse

Great looking truck Brian keep up the great work

Sweet video keep on trucking!
Ya the ground guy start running when they start breaking off lol
Thanks

Lmfao it's not that hard. Hauling concrete was a lot harder.

Makes me miss paving.
I want miling so bad.....can't ever get any delivered. Hoping next time the redo the highway in front I can get some .

That was really good view, super kool, love the Super Dump
Thx
Nice
It would seem to me the wear on the tires is off the charts when turning.
Never ran a strong arm.. debating between that and a six axle solo though down here in Oregon. Any real advantages to a strong arm vs a six axle other then what the vehicle can haul?
I can haul 25 tons dont get a strong get a maxle.
@@BRIANVANDUYN Why do you say that? I didn't realize the strongs were a $100k premium over a simple 16!
Mike Moniz has a bad ass beep
Hahaha , that beep is so annoying
Roger beeps are ghay...
Is that what you guys use for an asphalt tarp? Looks like mesh. My tarp is a heavy vinyl/ rubber tarp.
We have both
It's mesh
@@BRIANVANDUYN I thought it looked like mesh seems the heat from the asphalt would escape threw the mesh . Different states I guess.
The only reason to tarp it is so the cold air flowing over it during transport doesn't cool it down and make s shell that cloth doesn't keep heat it its more of a wind breaker
@@BRIANVANDUYN We all use the heavy vinyl here in PA.
What rear axle is that? Doesn’t look like a Maxle or a strong
Unfortunately it is a strong
Looks like Portland, Oregon
Washington
I am new to your channel. How do you like the strong arm. I have heard you can have problems with them and the tires wear out fast ?
Hate the strong arm my tires have not worn out still since 2020

what is the purpose of the raised axle at the very back?
It is to spread out the weight of the truck so they dont damage the roads and bridges
@@BRIANVANDUYN thanks for taking a minute to explain, I've only ever seen tippers with 3-4 axles here in europe so cool to see something different
What can you net with that truck? Slick setup!
25 ton
@@BRIANVANDUYN wow thats almost what my truck and pup will haul. I’m 14/13t for a tandem truck and tandem pup!
I haul 25 ton on a tri axle. 😁
How many tons was that load?
25 ton
I quit that morning, that’s why your down a truck🤣
😂😂😂
I spent many days and nights walking along beside a paving crew as an inspector. Hated nearly every minute of it.
Should have picked up a shovel once ina while XD
Hahah
@@windowlicker6996 I was a state employee so that was against our rules. LOL.
What are those wheels that fold down at the back for. ?????
They are to spread the weight out over bigger distance
@@BRIANVANDUYN Thanks Brian, seen nothing like that in Australia
What camera were using ?
Dji mavic zoom drone
Bugs worked out on the strong arm?
Not yet
its a mesh tarp lol ??? hauling mix ?
Asphalt rated Haha
Mix colder than shit with that screen they call a tarp
It actually wasn't cold at all
I thought it would be cold because of the mesh too but it breaks the wind good I guess because it worked
Man, if your loaded with mix and that arm doesn’t go up your hosed ((

How much can you haul with a super dump? Im running a 4 axle truck and 4 axle pup, we're allowed to run 105,500
82k
25 ton on 1 truck
That's actually really good, Im allowed 55 on the truck and 50 on the pup, would be much easier for dumping asphalt with the super dump, less time waiting in line lol
They are so fast definently the future in Washington
@@BRIANVANDUYN what part of washington? Im over in yakima
How many metric ton could you carry with a truck with that many axles here in Canada I have a Tri axle dump and I can carry 36000 gross metric ton
Im not sure what you mean by metric tons her 1 ton is 2000 pounds and she can haul 25 tons here that is 50,000 pounds
So metric ton 22.5
Net
36.2 gross
Dude keep your Jake brake on man save your breaks.
What's it to you?
2000 tons we do that in 12 hours 😂 here in new hampshire no lie
Did you get your Superdump fix?
It looks like it. It's been working for 3 weeks straight no problems
@@BRIANVANDUYN
Congratulations
Alignement off?
?
what are you guys hauling that you need 4 lift axles?

Guessing you're ripping through brakes being in neutral stopping while loaded for whatever reason you're doing that....
You would be surprised to know did my first brake change at 100k and they still had a lot of life left
Where’s your driver?
That was night shift he pulled day shift
Why cant you downshift? Hard on brakes
Uses more fuel
I find that truck price hard to believe. You couldn't run that enough . That truck would have to run night and day. Not to mention, license, taxes...
Dude the truck makes 30+k a month
If you don't believe me call up western peterbilt in fife and ask what the cost is after financing
What a stupid truck set up to haul half a load
