Dude I just got into driving a Dump Truck 3 weeks ago but before I went I watched the hell out of your video to make sure I had this down and man did it help!!! Made me look like I almost knew what I was doing!!! Great Video!!!
Had my cdl B's for almost a year cant find work without experience so I got a dump truck company employee to verify for me but I never drove a dump truck. I'm watching these vids hoping to learn enough to pass the interview driving process. Did your employer take you through a detailed testing ? Just curious...
@@universallaw8850 sorry for getting back so late I suck at keeping up with this whole RUclips thing, first off if you got the job congratulations, if not keep at it eventually somebody will give you a chance, but as far as my employer training I actually grew up around trucks so I could dive a big truck before I had my license. But I know some companies will train you or sent you to a school.
@@1910bigmac Your absolutely right I now drive a heavy duty 26 ft box truck for a metal distributor they even trained me on a manual 10 speed so now I don't have any restrictions. Next step hazmat and tanker......more money.
would be cool if somebody could make a video on going thru the controls of different garbage trucks. In this video i saw the PTO , (had air brakes ) , Was a manual , but not so sure what some of the buttons and levers are for completely. As the video was a little blurry and quick. Nice video as it is always nice to get to see what the internals are of different vehicles.
Putting axle down when raising the bed can help with stability, also it can be put down when dumping in a paver for example and going downhill can add as an extra set of brakes
Well I'll never be able to drive A dump truck since I'm totally blind but I still enjoyed the video anywayI also just got a new 1/16 scale model of a Mac granite try axle
The tri axle is to add stability because a tri axles main job is to spread rock and by letting the tri axle down it is easier to spread rock on a slight slope
actually no, the lift axle is to be able to carry more weight legally than if it was only a tandem truck, it does help to stop because is an extra set of brakes.
great video. one question, I know you let the clutch out to lift the dump bed but do you have to push the clutch back in when its up in order for the engine not to stall once its all the way up?
your bed sounds like a turkey gobblin when it goes down lol
Hahahaha. I was thinking the same thing. Was expecting to see a turkey running around somewhere

Yes all tri-axles are the same but the lift axle could be in a different place beside the one mine was in
I love me a good Mac truck man good video
A mac would be nice but these volvos on the other hand are ugly tractors
I know tri axle is for more weight. Why put it down when raised bed?
Putting axle down when raising the bed can help with stability, also it can be put down when dumping in a paver for example and going downhill can add as an extra set of brakes
thank you man
good video
DO YOU NEED TO PRESS THE CLUCH IN AGAIN TO TAKE OFF THE PTO ?
no once PTO is in it can be disengaged out without the clutch. However it is highly recommended that you do. Me personally I do.
@@1910bigmac thanks bud i guess i will too.
Shit's real yo
Yo I've been to that house before
HAI MAZON DIS ALEX HAI
Power take off
Dawgz
What's a pto
Brandon Greco PTO Stands for Power Take Off usually run off the transmission
Wear shoes .nobody drives dumped with bare crusty feet
Why didn’t you throttle up to build pressure faster
I had no idea there was so much to it,, dumping a load. thanks
After you get your first month done driving ... please watch this video again. (You'll know what to do 😢)
Well I'll never be able to drive A dump truck since I'm totally blind but I still enjoyed the video anywayI also just got a new 1/16 scale model of a Mac granite try axle
THANKS NEVER SEEN HOW TO OPERATE ONE SO SMALL ABOUT TO BUY ONE TODAY. DONE DRIVING BELLY DUMP DOUBLES AND END DUMPS

Really you only need the clutch to engage the pto. You can knock the hoist in neutral without using the clutch and the bed will still stop
actually no, the lift axle is to be able to carry more weight legally than if it was only a tandem truck, it does help to stop because is an extra set of brakes.
