In ridiculous times like this, it's videos like yours that keep me grounded.
My grandfather always told me the day you quit making mistakes is the day you quit learning, I've been making mistakes for 57yrs. Now
Very true.
Well said 👍
Got real credit card from @darkcristy on telegram and he helped me load more on it , it still working no security issues so far......that guy is good for the credit card job ✅✅✅
@@DauminiqueTheDumpTruckDriver at least you admit to making the mistake!!
I needed to hear this I'm done with mistakes but now I'm gonna get back outthere and accept my mistakes as they come! 😁 And she's showing me how to keep trucking even after mistakes ....
You’ll get into a “new” routine with this truck in no time. Everything will be second nature again. Pretty confident that won’t happen again, you have always seemed detail oriented. Chin-up D!

I remember my Tri Axle days starting at 3am lol. I miss the dump life but not the 6 month winter shut down every year.
Dude I'm in Maine literally just got laid off yesterday for the winter...I'm on call though. Once we get our screen back up we'll be hauling gravel for my daughter's school building a new parking area. My Dad drives for another company and today makes 2 weeks since he got laid off. I wouldn't trade driving for a construction outfit for OTR. I'm home every night except on rare occasions and being off in the winter I get to spend time with my kids.
@@aaronsanborn4291 love my job too 3 months off is a sweet bonus imo lol
You did great! Don’t let that little mishap bring you down! 👌
great video, and the owner knows you actually care about his equipment, you’ve proven that from your last truck. No way he got mad, it happens
Well Said, we are all humans and we make mistakes so "Shit Happens."
Exactly, they get mad at people who dont care when they break things or the ones who are aggressive and say it's just a cost of business
Yes he does, that’s part of the reason I was given the truck that no one knows anything about as well. He knows I’ll figure it all out and teach the guys what I found.
Niqi, please dont keep knocking yourself, you're doing great, everyone is nervous using something new !
Your boss will be fine, he knows you are a very consciences driver, and it was just an accident, so dont worry ! XX
So nice to see you back. Yes we are all human and mistakes are part of that. Its great watching your humanness, your a pretty cool operator, just stay calm and relaxed. All the best.
Enjoyed the video. Quit beating yourself up. Stuff happens and with your work ethics you will rebound in no time. Learn by your mistakes and you won't go wrong. Looking forward to your next video. Be safe and stay healthy. 🙏
Get yourself a boot brush mounted to the step on the truck so you can clean your feet before you get in the truck. I love mine. Saves a lot of dirt getting in the cab.
Thank you Dauminique for these videos, I`m a new gravel truck driver just north of you on Vancouver Island / Victoria, I really appreciate your honesty and informative content within, its very helpful and Congrats on the new truck , very nice !
Beautiful truck with a beautiful driver, doesn't get much better than that! Enjoy seeing you happy in your new truck! You'll get better soon, don't be hard on yourself! Happy trails and good luck! 💖
Hey girl I don't think you have anything to worry about with the boss, looks like that air ride is pretty sweet.
Love your videos keep it up have a good day at work.
🔥🔥🔥WOOOOOO!!!!! First day back!!!!
You take great pride in your work..👌✌️👍
Sorry to hear about your incident with your tarp. A lot of new things all at once. No one got hurt and your truck will be fine too! Keep safe.
You came in on Saturday to learn all you could on the truck. I saw no one there teaching or showing you. You did Fantastic. I don't care what anyone says. So don't let it beat you up. Enjoy every day.
Just a suggestion...make yourself a sticky-note check list keep it on your dash or windshield before you dump, with all those gadgets on your rigg to remember being it new to you. Good honest video Girl.
Been there! dumped material drove away with box coming down and catching hydro lines ! In a rush and Complacent
Dooooood that sucks good luck. Hey good on you for sharing this rough experience and not hiding behind the edit. That shows your integrity 👏 👌
You gain a ton of respect by admitting a fault, much better than trying to convince people that ”it wasn't me”. Keep rolling young lady!
Great video!! Glad to see you back. Looking forward to your next video.
Thank you!
Good to see you Back Working making videos they are real good don’t worry about the mistake you will get it figured out thanks happen how is The mini fridge working out it come in today I like it so far look like a good one be safe keep the good good videos coming
Just found your channel watched a few previous videos great content. My wife is the office manager for a construction company she says her most important job is to make sure the dump truck drivers are paid on time and hours/ overtime is correct !
Great video , love seeing different aspects of the truck as it's in action . Everybody knows the amount of respect you have for the equipment you use and I'm sure the owner will overlook this little mishap because of the care you show for the equipment . Anyway , mistake made - lesson imprinted into brain , and remembering this going forward , I'm sure it's something you will never do again .
Dont beat yourself up...i like new adventures but hate not knowing the details, id be lost knowing all that truck has and how to use it. Your awesome 😎😉
Mornin Little D , hope you and the family are doin top shelf . This is Breeze out in them Tennessee hills still hauling that pine. You be safe and keep er between the ditches. You're cool !
I made a mistake once thinking I had made a mistake. Love your videos. Thanks for your time and effort doing these.
Hey Dauminique don’t worry it’s your first day back new equipment and your take care of business attitude goes along way when you owed up to it like you said we all make mistakes have a great week
Yeah I see the passion in every video you do .
Don’t be upset with yourself it’s about getting use the new truck.
So true; we all make mistakes, with a new truck and back on the job you did great.
Some of our best lessons are learned the hardest way. But, we learn them well. Good job.
Nobody got hurt! You are safe! One mile at a time. Think twice. Great job.
Don’t give it a seconds thought. I may be wrong but I did see your last video and it does not seem like you had any time to “train” on the new features of the truck. Not to seem critical of your boss who I know you have a good relationship with, but.........
It would have been a good idea to have brought you in for at least a half day and have someone who knows all the operation of that truck give you a full run through of all features and differences from the truck you were used to.
Plus, for a woman who had a baby so recently you are amazing to be able to come back so soon to a job like this.
You deserve a lot of respect and credit for what you do.
That truck is super cool and it looks like you would need at least a few days to get comfortable with everything on it.
Wishing you an awesome 2021 and lots of fun and joy with your new baby.
Please don’t beat yourself up over the mishap. We all know you take your job and your truck very serious.
You good. Being a first timer. In fact am looking up to you because I want to be a dump truck driver too and seeing you do it give me confidence i can do it too.
You are doing exactly what any reasonable owner would want you to, owning your performance both good and not so good. I've had many people on teams over the years that have done exactly that and it says a lot about your commitment to being professional. I'm not CDL driver but have driven many things over the early part of my career, have to say I'm a bit peanut butter and jelly over your new K-whopper.
Kind of cool to see a rear monitor to see the load being dumped.
Yes a little broom/sweeper may come in handy to have to wipe off the end after a load drop to the excess does not hit other cars on the road.
Yes it is true mistakes happen but you learn from them and move on.
Heck you can even make a little checklist and paste on the dash for things to do before loading and dumping since it is a new truck.
Every new vehicle will have it's own little quirks of what it likes and does not like and you will find those over time just like you did with your old truck.
How's it that air ride feel going.
A lot different than just the leaf springs?
Just keep on trucking and you will be fine.
Glad you're back .. I do hate you popped the tarp , but like you said , everybody makes a mistake every now and again . I can tell it's bothering you pretty bad , but I've seen worse in the first day of a new truck , believe me .. It'll probably take a week to get back in the swing of things , so plz don't be tough on yourself .. Thanks for sharing your videos .. Have a great week .!!
Hopefully they will understand getting use to a new truck setup these guy's should if they have ever driven
I remember the first time on a job site when a truck had a box vibrator....scared the hell out of me. It's definitely a lifesaver.
You glad to be back working? The good thing people will not be mad at the mistakes you made. We are human. No one is perfect. I hope the owner of the truck was not too upset. Stay safe out there!
Woooops all good no worries mate your good be safe!!
Love your channel. Welcome back to the grind. Not too long ago I expanded our business which requires heavy Machinery and so I loaded my first Ultra clean and pristine super dump with a excavator and all I could think about was “don’t hit the truck with the bucket”. Even a Tap with the bucket tooth will do some damage. I’ve operated excavators for a while but never really direct loaded with one before. Its always been set it to the side and load the truck with a skid steer a few days later when we get dump trucks. I’m sure your boss is ecstatic that you take care of it like it’s your own. That’s a rare thing.
Your doing a great job. Have a great week and be safe.
Thank you!
I’m Glad to see you back and in your new truck, keep up the hard work .
Thanks
Not anytime soon, but maybe down the road you can talk more on your pusher axels. Curious how different it is on that truck.
Don't beat yourself up you do a heck of a lot better than most people have done it for 30 plus years great video
Dont beat yourself up we learn from our mistakes 👍 looks like a great company you work for 👍 he knows your work ethic and its brand new equipment everything’s different🤔Keep on trucking love your videos....Aloha from Hawaii🤙😎🏝
Thank you for the information just got my cdl class A but I like dump trck
You will get a hold of it Beautiful. You are a mother now and Congratulations sweetheart. Georgia here and I love your blog and Videos. Be safe and smile Gorgeous 😍
You have the most bad ass truck on you tube
There is absolutely no way I could drive a truck like that with all that polished aluminum/stainless steel into a dirty muddy dump site like that, I would go nuts keeping it clean!
Lol someone comes and steam cleans it for me on the weekend.
@@DauminiqueTheDumpTruckDriver My last log trucking job, my boss always said "A dirty truck is a working truck". Still had to wash it every weekend though.
Get the steelie phone mount it’s the best phone mount I’ve found for Off road construction driving
Good luck with that beast
Great content as always, obvious you care and are passionate about what you do.
Remember to error is human, to really foul things up we have computers!!
I have a note on my dash that says “ roll up tarp before lifting door”
Really?
What door are you lifting?
@@jaxturner7288 you haven't seen dump trucks with a lifting gate?
@@jaxturner7288 I drive transfer truck. The rear door lifts by hydraulics. It will break the tarp bar if you open it before rolling in the tarp.
@@jaquigreenlees lift gate? Sure.
Lifting Bar? Yep seen those.
Lifting door tho? Naw, I haven’t Have you?
Do you remember who made it?
@@Idahoprepper71 naw never seen one of those before. Not sure I’ve ever heard of transfer spec dumpers. They profit more ? Or just cost more to be special kinda thing?
Love ur videos
Sharp Truck!! Great music
Well.back to the old bump and grind hopefully you got all the button,s and switch,es learned in your new truck be out there young lady see you later
This is a beautiful truck very very nice...
Take care out there & Blessings to you....from Boone Iowa
New truck , new routine it’s normal it happens like you say 👍😁
You probably fined your right arm and left foot looking for things that are not there. Lol. Keep up the good work. Glad your back
It happens. My boss kept complete tarp assemblies in stock for our stupidity. If you did it too often they wouldn’t fix it for awhile and let you do manual tarping with bungee cords. It definitely would get you thinking. Especially in the rain lol
I saw that you are not going to drive anymore.😥 we’ll see! I got my Class 1 April 18 1963. I’m still driving. Oh, I retired 8 or 9 times. I couldn’t stand it. Ether bot a truck or got another job. In fact I’m going to work tomorrow driving a 379 Peterbilt Water Truck. I’m 76
But I wish you all the luck in your new job!!👍
We hope to see you and Allison at the Brooks OR Truck Show August 27 28. 29.
Your the best! John l
If that is the worst thing you ever screw up I would count myself lucky and like you said, you will learn from your mistakes. good job, and super nice truck, I wish they had super dumps when I was dump trucking!!
haha I make mistakes. I've broken a lot of stuff over the years.
It happens. No big deal. You learn from your mistakes. Good luck.
Don't be to hard on yourself, we all make mistakes, but god don't I hate that feeling when I screw up.
Things happen. Good Video.
Stay Safe
Here in Florida we call that type of truck a dumptruck or dirt hauler
Good job
I had to rewatch just to figure out she was talking about. Correct if I'm wrong, Tarp must be rolled in before raising the rear pusher or it will crush the tarp? I drive a dump truck in NY and we don't have trucks like that. Too many axles and too many things attached to the spreader plate to jam dirt or rocks and blacktop too. My truck is a triaxle. Nice truck tho. When I saw the Flap switch all I could think of was flaps on a plane. then realized it was for mud flaps. Mud flaps on our trucks have to be picked up by hand. But every company is different.
You will do great have faith
You're dealing with a totally different system than you were used to. I'm pretty sure the shop had a pool going on how long the tarp bar would last.
They should put a safety just like the tags go up when you put it in reverse, the tarp should roll up when the rear lift come’s up.
Trick I did on my Apron. Cleaned it well, then rubbed on 3 coats of Johnson Paste hardwood flooring wax. Made rocks not stick to it.
Haha that’s a good idea.
It's a new truck, You are new to that Truck, Take your time and get comfortable with it.
At least you really enjoyed the vibrator feature! (not intended to sound bad) haha but I could really see the joy it brought! Gotta love new features. And that "screw up" sounds pretty minor things are always going to happen. keep up the great videos!
I know, it’s funny because it’s the only thing my boss told me before hand. Not having to shovel is pretty great, not gonna lie.
@@DauminiqueTheDumpTruckDriver I hear you! For me they need to invent tracks on a machine that you don’t have to shovel everyday... 😞 lol
Don’t feel bad. First day in my new truck I was paving somehow the guy on the shuttle buggy busted my marker light and ripped off both mud flap on the very first load hauled in this truck.
Don’t be hard on yourself. Accidents happen. Did the owner get angry?
Love the new rig and your channel. Les from Australia.
Great video. No need to feel bad . Every driver makes mistakes. Plus it's a new truck. I can't see them getting angry. Your obviously a valuable employee to them. Good luck!
Haha no one was mad but me.
@@DauminiqueTheDumpTruckDriver Shit happens.
@@DauminiqueTheDumpTruckDriver forgot to ask, did you like the automatic?
You're right you're only human and everybody makes mistakes. It will be Okay just got to get used to the new truck. Your boss will understand.
We all make mistakes it happens...I bent the hell out of our paver in 2016. Backed in and my foot slipped off the brake on a slight incline and I rolled into the paver hard with my wheeler. Bent the hell out of the hopper. 30 tons of loaded truck does a bit of damage to a paver. My pressure adjustment knobs for my pusher axles have always been on my tower in the cab for every tri-ax I've driven.
Good luck
You’re still very entertaining!
I curious as to the answer with the pusher axles. I drive a 4 axle tractor (pulling a lowboy) and my rule of thumb is to have the same amount or close to as the air pressure as my drive axles. For example 60 lbs on drive axles I adjust my lift axle to the same amount. Of course as you add to the lift it’s gonna take pressure off the drives so it can take a few minutes to get it right. I can only imagine the finesse it would take with 3 lift axles.
Stuff happens, just learn from it and start the next day on a good note‼️‼️
Awesome video
hope you had a good. Day
Stuff happens. Hang in there.
I called it on your last video!!! I said i would probably smash the tarp bar the first day 😂
Your a Great driver and dependable it will work out!!!))👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼😊
I know. No one is mad but me haha.
@@DauminiqueTheDumpTruckDriver See you next time!!!!!))😊😊😊
You did things wrong, and that's fine, but it's wrong that you don't learn from your past mistakes.
Beautiful video
Don't worry about the owner, he knows when he has a good driver. He also knows he'll never hire a perfect one!
Know that feeling... it sucks...
...Tweaked my hydraulic tarp bars on my mint T800 Glider kit dump... Lifted my air lift Beuroc gate...with the tarp down...but wasn't quick enough to stop it.... before I slightly bent the bars....
...and I own the truck..!!!.. pissed...
The rear tag axle seems like a nightmare ... you're better than most !
Yeah things happen. No one was mad. Everyone got a pretty good laugh at my expense though.
Shit happens ! Years ago, where I worked we had a brand new 3 axle lowboy. Maybe 3 weeks old. The driver rolled in after a long day, to load a piece of equipment, before he went home.
He forgot to disconnect the air lines and 7 way cord from the gooseneck, when he detached.
We worked until after dark , fixing the damage.
Yeah it does. Main thing is taking responsibility.
How can I be first? Go get’em Dauminique!
You should get a mounted pressure washer that works off the air compressor
It sure is alot of things to watch after and do operating a truck like that. But you will get the hang of it pretty quick
Good video
Good luck with the owner .
Good luck u got it u do ok
