Great to see the dump truck. My husband has been dump trucking for 22 years and he watches you guys sell the time. You should come to West Virginia and spend a day with him in his Western Star. He loved the talk about the special skills of a dump truck driver. He is a master and would kill me if he knew I was telling you this.
model 388 was replaced by the short hood 389...both are built exactly the same. I have both. And the sloped hood is achieved by the cab being mounted 2" higher off the frame then a 389 long hood.
Oils part of the slope in the hood looking steeper be traveling the same distance down from the cowl to the grill but in a shorter distance? Just makes it look steeper.
Tommy...the two BIG 'things' to watch for when either in a spreader box/asphalt machine or spreading gravel with shorten chain set are tree limbs and overhead electrical wires/cables; that is, if you be on level ground. Things can get really interesting when dumping on banked turns or unlevel ground - best have a strong sphincter muscle and, if not, you'll soon develop one! Good looking 389 dump save for the color...unless the tailgate and side body posts had a cool graphic like bubbling black oil on the lower half. Cheers...
Did you she Bruce video off his truck and what do you think of what happened to it and are you guys selling the truck you built the black and orange one?
Nice truck, I probably wouldn't order an automatic but I can see the reasoning for it. I wanted to hear it shift but you guys wouldn't stop talking. Shame to get it dirty but that is what they were designed for.
I've seen it be an issue many times with large pavers for paving roads. Might not be a problem with small pavers for driveways. They sit lower and would probably be below the hitch.
30 years dump truck and pup trailer making life better... and sleep in my bed every night, not a sleeper coffin. Making better money than over the road.

White with chrome looks so good!! The clear lights are a very nice detail also

I’d love to come out there. That scenery is absolutely gorgeous
Love it I have 25 years in it nice truck don't like automatic but asphalt guys love them
That is a stunning dump !!!!
Chalmers is a heavy duty off road suspension. If your in the dirt alot its perfect. Little bouncy when empty.
Awesome video! Loved the dump truck review!
The asphalt paver has a bar with a roller that pushes agains the tires and spins with the tires
Looking good guys 👍
Tommy sure does have a nice place & shop
Cool dump truck
what kind of animal do u think that paw print was from at 7:51 on the rear suspension cat or racoon or sumn else?
Comment number two hell yeah
Good to go
Maybe Bruce can paint y'all some graphics on it!
Oh yes the graffiti King can 😅😅
Hahah 👍👍
@@tonycappja1164 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Bruce can do some custom pin strips rattle can style😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣
Nice dump truck, nothing like having a good dump.😣
The 389 has fenders can be replaced individually, the 388 fenders are all one piece connected to the hood.
Did you she Bruce video off his truck and what do you think of what happened to it and are you guys selling the truck you built the black and orange one?
Very nice truck, but one thing is wrong with it, automatic transmission.
Those offset wheels are going to beat up the tanks and cab running those Michelins ask me how I know 😆
What’a truck !!!
I want one in black
Ball park what’s that cost?
Super awesome
How much are you allowed to charge on that 3 axle? Here in Montreal are different only one tire on the middle axle. And we load max 35000lbs
Let’s see this bad boy after sitting under an excavator loading rock, concrete. Asphalt will really put a nice color accent to the white paint 😂
What happened to the cabover that you started just curious
Day in the life of a dump driver forsure.
Piece of cake tommy
It's the quietest Dump Truck I ever heard.
Asphalt is going to destroy that white box. It looks good but should of went with a different color
Nice lookin ride
Cab sets higher on a 388
You can keep it
Nice truck, I probably wouldn't order an automatic but I can see the reasoning for it. I wanted to hear it shift but you guys wouldn't stop talking. Shame to get it dirty but that is what they were designed for.
I don't blame Tommy one bit for not wanting to say sumn wrong about the truck being 388 or 389 comments can be rough sometimes 🤣
NEVER GiVE UP .🎶
I believe the last year for a 388 was 2014.
Whats the wheelbase?don't mind me asking
There is no 388 anymore. 389 shorthood. I just got one.
OMG it's a trailer hitch
probably the same as 379 127"BBC or 117BBC short hood..... short hood really sloped... BBC Bumper Back of Cab....
That suspension holds up nice.. but the ride… 😅 I’d rather have springs. (The springs go and ride way better)
that thing will shit and get with that motor. Pull like its empty fully loaded.
They stopped calling those 388 in 2017. In 2017 it’s a 389. Or you can get a 389 extended hood.
What's " custom" about it .. I see some " accessories" but I'm not seeing " custom" ..
Oh Tommy, you need some learnin my man.
Hey what’s up bros how y’all doing
That truck is more than 20k my 389 short hood aluminum body’s empty weight is about 26,500.
VERY FUNNY
Hi
That's too pretty to put dirt in!
Gosh what a beauty. How much roughly for one of these bad boys
Was hear
Ok
Bar
No
Auto
No
Cat
Definitely
Pentel hitch will have to come off 1st day.
Why, when you pull the equipment to the job yourself.
@@kenkrauss5045 it's fine for hauling equipment. But it won't work backing into a paver.
@@billarnold6166 I have a truck and pup trailer and it's not an issue at all.

awfully purdy to put black top in it. lol!!(
All trucks should have those turnout stacks ….anything else is stupid and ugly !!!!
Here is link to how to dump base properly

Being a dump truck driver sucks
depends how u look at it..I know someone who owns 2 and loves his job
30 years dump truck and pup trailer making life better... and sleep in my bed every night, not a sleeper coffin. Making better money than over the road.
@@kenkrauss5045 i can’t argue with the money part. I do make really good money myself. I guess it sucking depends on the area you live and work in.
It's automatic😫😭😭😭😭😭
