He's done a pretty damn fine job, too. I know he makes some pretty good money from youtube, but his work is impeccable, and it shows in his relatively quick build of his home(s), property, business, etc. Dudes built something pretty awesome, and it has been a joy to watch him doing it.
Road trip!!!! WooHoo and what a great road trip this was! Always a hoot with Mr. Donnie driving! LOVE the new truck, looking forward to the next video with it! Thanks for taking us along Chris!
Nice! Congratulations. Maintenance days are some my favorite LD18 videos. I was hoping you were going to powerwash that first belly pan you shoveled out. Clean equipment just runs better and is easier to repair. I see a paint job in that beauty's future.👍
Finally! This is what I've been waiting for what seems like years, another haul truck. I cannot wait to see the big 350 excavator filling both trucks round robin on the next big pond job. No more waiting for the haul truck to dump and return.
@gecho194: What I'm wondering about is when is Chris gonna start (I'm NOT volunteering), hiring some full time help? Having all that equipment "marking time" can't be making him very much money. 🙂
Hey Chris - With all the used oil you generate - you should think about a used oil burner heat system like Clinton just installed in his new fabrication shop. Congrat's on the 'new' "30"! Great road trip with Donnie! Thumbs up! Jim
Geez, you'd thought that they used it for a swamp buggy for all of the mud that was is that cover, Wow! Glad you got a friend for Barney, looks like it will give him a good run for the money! Love the videos~
Definitely a 2 man job to drop those belly pans! I watch C&C Equipment and Dirt Perfect changing those pans and it takes 2 people to do the belly pans! Good thing you have help!! Nice haul truck, Dirt Perfect has been wanting another haul truck now DP will have to get one now, you are 1 up on him! Lol!
I think it's Aaron that wants a new dump truck , not Mike. Aaron has fallen in love with the Hyundai demo truck, and he wants to keep it, but Mike says no because it's very expensive. lol
I had to smile when you and Donnie were talking about mowing down trash cans. Jeff (Jpaydirt) often talks about his neighbours leaving their bins too near to the road on collection day, and 'jokes' that he tries to catch as many as he can when his load is wider than the lowboy bed. I am sure he has hit a few, but I am not sure if I am hoping that he has hit fewer than he makes out. I had the wind blow over the recycling bin recently while it was out by the road, and it made an almighty mess.
The one thing I most admire about you Chris is how you take care of your equipment!! My dad always said you can tell a lot about a man by how he takes care of his equipment and appliances!! You get GOLD STARS for both categories!!🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻♥️♥️🇺🇸🇺🇸♥️♥️
Chris if you are going to tie up the truck for a while to get the odds and ends done. You should have your tire guy look at that front tire and see if they can section that injury to the sidewall . Good luck with the new truck.
Another great purchase and addition to the LetsDig18 fleet - certainly is needed for the ever increasing business - well done LetsDig18. What an opportunity to spend those hours with Donny - so special. Now that fridge seemed awful empty LOL - great meals though.
That new and bigger haul truck is going to come in handy on some of your big dirt moving jobs. You could run two haul trucks on pond builds as long as you have a couple of drivers. Your 350 excavator will definitely be able to keep up with two trucks. Speaking of trucks, Mr. Donnie sure does keep his truck looking immaculate. He’s a good man to have around when you need equipment moved.
well donnie needs to do something on social media but i bet that has been said a thousand times before. congratulation on the new truck Chris. that's going to make you life a lot easier when your done fixing it.
So Robert can speak. I think this is the most I have heard him speak in any video. Nice truck. Working multiple jobs, an additional truck will definitely be a great asset. Thanks for sharing.
I knew it by the Christmas packaging on Instagram you sent out. But I'm still surprised you got before the end of the year. I'm awfully happy for Chris, getting a new toy to play with. It was needed with the different jobs you have going on. You have at least two of everything now. You should be all set now well for a little while, anyway, lol. Chris, so I don't forget, have a very Merry Christmas and a happier and more prosperous New Year. No one deserves it more than you and your family. 🎉🎉
Lovely Volvo ADT. The Biggest ADT Volvo currently make is the A60, its 55 ton hauler @ 100 tons gross weight. Yours is 30 ton I think, about the right size for your yard, really fabulous vehicle, looks in great condition, just minor cosmetic work as usual. Its fun tarting something like that back to decent specs, have fun I'm sure you will...you've made some great progress!
Howdy Chris. Awesome purchase fella. A great addition for the Letsdig18 rolling stock. I’m real pleased for you Chris. No less than you deserve and knowing you it won’t be too long before you get all those little imperfections on your new dump truck sorted out and she’s looking in great shape. 👍👍
Good to see Donny again. Merry Christmas and happy new year Donny and Robert. Congratulations on your new purchase. That is some ugly looking oil. Thank you letsdig18 and have a great week.
Been watching since a ways before his first Link Belt, love to see the growth. Can't see how he manages to do all of this almost on his own. Hire me Chris!!
Mr. Donnie that you hire for all your trucking needs, is awesome, and I LOVE his truck, that girl is sweet! I Love when you asked Donnie if he ever hit a trash can, and his answer made me smile, " every one I can" he said. Great that your not getting rid of "Barney" and this truck will be good as well since it is bigger and as you stated can use it on another job without taking Barney on and off jobs. beside the other issues with this, have to get that air loss found and get that addressed. will look better once the Letsdig18 decals on it. does it get a name as well?? Liked the way you filled the new oil filters and then installed them. Dont forget to date the oil filters!
Chris, thanks for having Donnie on so much of this video, we love seeing him. I guess having used a larger haul truck spoiled you a bit. This will be another great addition to the fleet!
Thank you, Mr. Donnie, for the road trip. You put a big smile on Chris's face. Your truck looks much better than Chris's. And Thank you, Robert, for fixing Chris's truck for him it nice to see you in the videos. Seeing you up close and talking was nice. Hopefully, you will get more comfortable in front of the camera. Chris has a great team helping him.
Quick tip.the quickest way to see if your alternator is working is with the engine running see if a wrench will stick to the back of the alternator. If it sticks the alternator is working.
Congratulations on your new purchase. I love hearing Mr.Donnie talk. His accent reminds me of spending summers on my grandfather’s farm in Reidsville N.C.
Nice find,adding more to the fleet,I’m sure will be very beneficial for you in the long run.great video as always.just keep doing your thing.be safe 😎😎😎👍👍👍
Damn Chris, you and Dirt Pefect and C&C Equipment keep NAPA in business!! Lol! For as much as you guts talk about NAPA, they should sponsor you and Dirt Perfect and C&C Equipment!!
Let Donny know he's got a beautiful rig. I think that the hood lift motor is only supposed to run when you're lifting the hood. Coming down it should just be a gravity release valve.
☘️🇮🇪🇺🇸sitting wide eyed smiling Christopher is dirty👀 and he’s HAPPY … gotta love that “ 🙄 look” Robert gave ya blaming him for da 🪣I think this video is my new fav.. 2 men & a truck❤️ yes I agree FRED is an appropriate name blessings!!!!!
Hey Chris nice purchase ,from a viewer point market place bargains are much more interesting than new machines,getting them back to good order makes great content just ask DP . Oh and maybe name this one BAM BAM Barneys son on the Flintstones,and nice to see Robert on camera 😊😊😊 Cheers Kym Adelaide

Man oh man. MR Donnie sure does keep that truck clean. He is definitely a rare breed nowadays. Keep on trucking Mr Donnie
Just a Real owner operator.
This truck needs to be named “Fred”. Barney’s friend on the Flintstones was Fred.
I was randomly thinking "Harvey" but I like "Fred" better! :D
FrED = Front Engine, Diesel, fits perfectly. :)
Plus this is bigger than the A25 and Fred was bigger than Barney 😂
I agree 100 percent
I like Fred Fred works
Piece by piece, we're watching you build a company. Love it!
He's done a pretty damn fine job, too. I know he makes some pretty good money from youtube, but his work is impeccable, and it shows in his relatively quick build of his home(s), property, business, etc.
Dudes built something pretty awesome, and it has been a joy to watch him doing it.
Donnie is such a good friend ... people like that are very hard to find these days ...
Love when Donnie makes an appearance! Old school! Love it!
Hi Robert, nice to finally see you for more than a fleeting glimpse. You guys seem to work well together. 😊
Donnie is a good old boy
Road trip!!!! WooHoo and what a great road trip this was! Always a hoot with Mr. Donnie driving! LOVE the new truck, looking forward to the next video with it! Thanks for taking us along Chris!
Donnie said you owe him a senior citizen extra charge 😅 nice to have a good reliable person to haul equipment.
Thank you for sharing. 💖 New Haul Truck is a nice addition. Fred will be a great name.
i like how accessible the filters are. i wish they did that with passenger vehicles
Really glad to see you expanding your operation, you are my favourite RUclips channel to watch 😊
Letsdig18 is awesome and so is Dirt Perfect and I love to watch C&C Equipment, I love all these videos all these guys put out!!
Nice! Congratulations. Maintenance days are some my favorite LD18 videos. I was hoping you were going to powerwash that first belly pan you shoveled out. Clean equipment just runs better and is easier to repair. I see a paint job in that beauty's future.👍

Fred and Barney together again, Yabba Dabba Doo.
Always enjoy when you get something "new to you."
Can't wait for the new paint job. It will look so pretty!
With multiple big projects going simultaneously I was wondering how long until Chris got a second truck.
@gecho194:
What I'm wondering about is when is Chris gonna start (I'm NOT volunteering), hiring some full time help?
Having all that equipment "marking time" can't be making him very much money.

Welcome to the fleet!! Looks like everyone was correct on your post this morning!! Being in the nee addition!! Time to get it dirty!!

good morning Chris and Robert, congrats on the new haul truck..
Awesome congratulations
Chris your one lucky man! To ride in that sweet ride of Mr. Donnie has! Thats one beautiful 68 w9! And sounds so good!
Looks like the long search was well worth it, congratulations Chris!
The banter in the cab on the ride there was priceless. 👍
It is always great to hear Mr Donnie. Chris please let him know he has a big beautiful machine
Another great purchase and addition to the LetsDig18 fleet - certainly is needed for the ever increasing business - well done LetsDig18. What an opportunity to spend those hours with Donny - so special. Now that fridge seemed awful empty LOL - great meals though.
Soo Cool you kept your composure! I was pissed, wrong # filters Thanks for sharing again 👍 🙏 Let's Dig 18 with the new Big Boy Toy! 😊

Mr. Donnie clearly understands the old maxim: chrome will get you home!!
I knew you'd get another and bigger truck. Congrats on adding to the fleet !!
Good to see the man behind the steering wheel! "Donnie Chrome"
So Robert can speak. I think this is the most I have heard him speak in any video. Nice truck. Working multiple jobs, an additional truck will definitely be a great asset. Thanks for sharing.

I had to stop and grab the popcorn for this. Who didn’t see this coming?
I didn't see this coming either!!!
No one!

"You ever hit a trash can?"
(without missing a beat)
"Every one I can!"
Man's mind is still sharp as a tack and God Bless him!

Sends a 👍 to Robert…Good to see ya Buddy.
I love that you "keep it real", like with the oil filters. We have ALL had those hiccups like that, that is just life. "It'll be all right."
Oooo wee, Barney's gonna be jelly!
you should call this one fred, like the flintstones, as they also work in dirt and rocks. barney and fred.
Good to see Donny again. Merry Christmas and happy new year Donny and Robert. Congratulations on your new purchase. That is some ugly looking oil. Thank you letsdig18 and have a great week.
Good evening Chris. Congrats on the new haul truck. Wish you a very Christmas from Germany.
Old truckers never die , God bless , and merry Christmas 😢
Like your new ride buddy. She is a beast. Thanks for the ride.
Man, am I the only one that gets excited when Chris gets a new piece of equipment???
Been watching since a ways before his first Link Belt, love to see the growth. Can't see how he manages to do all of this almost on his own. Hire me Chris!!
Nope, not the only one, lol.
@@queenofspadz It has been some journey for Chris.
Mr. Donnie that you hire for all your trucking needs, is awesome, and I LOVE his truck, that girl is sweet!

Now that you have a bigger haul truck all that you need now is the bucket that fills it in three passes on the 350
FRED SOUNDS LIKE A GOOD NAME....
Now it’s time to take it over to C&C an have Kevin do his magic on it😁😁😁take care
Chris I love to watch the way you keep up your equipment good job tell Mr Robert he is a cutie pie and a great help 😊
Congrats Chris!
I knew another off road truck was coming 😂 need to take it to C&C Equipment for a paint job ,, we got standards on this RUclips channel 😎😎 Congrats 🎉
Great addition to your Volvo fleet. Barney's new friend looks like a Fred to me.😂
Chris, thanks for having Donnie on so much of this video, we love seeing him. I guess having used a larger haul truck spoiled you a bit. This will be another great addition to the fleet!
❤ Billy Big Riggin videos! Nice addition to the big toy collection!
So this is the one the only Donny, Finally get to meet the legend ❤
Call this truck Fred.
Thank you, Mr. Donnie, for the road trip. You put a big smile on Chris's face. Your truck looks much better than Chris's. And Thank you, Robert, for fixing Chris's truck for him it nice to see you in the videos. Seeing you up close and talking was nice. Hopefully, you will get more comfortable in front of the camera. Chris has a great team helping him.
I LOVE the dash on that truck. WOW
Quick tip.the quickest way to see if your alternator is working is with the engine running see if a wrench will stick to the back of the alternator. If it sticks the alternator is working.
Good luck with the new equipment
Nice A30. I need to come down and paint the hood and roof!
Good luck with the new purchase. I think you will need it.
Best of luck with the new hall truck 🚚
Congratulations on your new purchase.
I love hearing Mr.Donnie talk. His accent reminds me of spending summers on my grandfather’s farm in Reidsville N.C.
congrats looks like a nice unit and will come in real handy. cheers.
Congratulations Chris, she's a beaut
Best of luck with the new truck Chris, viewing from County Sligo Ireland 🇮🇪 🇺🇦🤠🚲📷✍
Nice find,adding more to the fleet,I’m sure will be very beneficial for you in the long run.great video as always.just keep doing your thing.be safe 😎😎😎👍👍👍
Damn Chris, you and Dirt Pefect and C&C Equipment keep NAPA in business!! Lol! For as much as you guts talk about NAPA, they should sponsor you and Dirt Perfect and C&C Equipment!!
Hey Chris that looks like a nice truck Mr Donnie is a trip and he's got a good looking truck
Ole Donnie has gone more miles in reverse than many have forward. One heck of a trucker.
Let Donny know he's got a beautiful rig.
I think that the hood lift motor is only supposed to run when you're lifting the hood. Coming down it should just be a gravity release valve.
☘️🇮🇪🇺🇸sitting wide eyed smiling Christopher is dirty👀 and he’s HAPPY … gotta love that “ 🙄 look” Robert gave ya blaming him for da 🪣I think this video is my new fav.. 2 men & a truck❤️ yes I agree FRED is an appropriate name blessings!!!!!
Here we grow again!!🤣🤣🤣🤣
Well as the truckers say, "If you got it, a trucker brought it." I'd bet Ol' Donnie has brought a lot of stuff to a lot of people in his career.
You have to glue up your windshield. Familiar inside. Har around 60 000 miles in mine in a quarry howling stone.
Congats on your "new" truck! 😍👍
I didn't think it would be long before you got another truck.
Love Mr Donnie. And new truck. Yeah!!!! 😊
Mr Donny and Chris ridin' up to pick up a truck listening to "Just a couple a Good Ol' boys". Good luck with the new to you truck. Merry Christmas.
Congratulations on the new to you Truck and an easy fix is the best kind
Mr Donnie is a gem!
Hopefully the bigger truck means bigger jobs on the way.
Hey Chris nice purchase ,from a viewer point market place bargains are much more interesting than new machines,getting them back to good order makes great content just ask DP .
Oh and maybe name this one BAM BAM Barneys son on the Flintstones,and nice to see Robert on camera 😊😊😊
Cheers Kym
Adelaide
That is a Beast, Glad you are giving it some maintenance and TLC.
As much equipment as you are acquiring you could put a fair dent in the underemployment stats in North Carolina.
Mr Donnie, you have a nice truck, sir 😊
Chris I really appreciate your attention to detail when it comes to your equipment. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
That old fellas truck is a thing of beauty!
