How do I keep my long work days entertaining? I love listening to books. Here is the app that I use. amzn.to/3FG78gy
You r pretty
I ❤️ that Beyond dirt. 👍
We used green lights in the army to preserve night vision. A lot of our maps weren’t red light readable either.
I use red lights in cab. I work a lot at night and it helps not stress your eyes and retain your night sight. Also just enough light to do paperwork/find something without blinding the hell out of yourself.
Young lady as a owner operator of a semi my self for 29 yes I'm very proud of you in what you have accomplished in owning your own business...
May you be blessed in going forward in your adventure...
The colored light in a truck is for eye fatigue in the dark. Police and Fire use red light inside the vehicle. And when firemen alarm goes when they are sleeping the lights turn on red so they can adjust easier when getting dressed heading to the rig.
Huge respect for your former employer. It really takes a great man to appreciate an employee for thanking you for the time you gave to his company. Big big compliment for you and a great testimony of who you are, to leave your job this way. Best of wishes for 2022. Hope your company will grow from strength to strength !!!!!
Thank you!
Johan Blignaut - I had a boss like that once. It was an absolute pleasure working for him. These days, unfortunately, most bosses are an absolute nightmare.
@@friendlypiranha774 unfortunately money and power has taken over mostly. Three things only matters, what I have, where I live and what I drive has become the norm to measure success. What happened to love, understanding, kindness, compassion? I always strive to leave the later. What footprint do we leave in the lives of others. Is it a scare or is it a blessing. People can make you or break you. The kindness one shows to others can make a world of difference to them. A big thanks to all uplifting employers.
The intended purpose of the colored interior lights was to help keep the drivers eyeballs from getting completely dilated if turned on while driving.
Thanks for sharing your story. I know you think the story is not interesting but it helps your dedicated viewers know what’s going on. Excited to follow you on your life adventure. Congratulations on your dreams coming true!
Thank you so much!
A big step. As an owner/operator myself, taking that step is kind of like stepping out into the dark. Maybe there is firm ground out there and maybe not. Sounds like you are contracting out to Pellco and that is a good way to start with familiar and friendly people. I wish you all the luck out there. Do scheduled oil sampling on all the pieces needed such as the engine, trans, and rear ends.
The only name I put on my door is my name, all the other titles are on a plate hanging behind the door. Good luck again.
Awesome! We just bit the bullet and went out fulltime on our own this year. It's inspirational to hear others share their story and I look forward to seeing your continued success!
Excellent video tying up loose ends. Really looking forward to the first video of you earning your way forward in your own truck. Drive safe and enjoy being your own boss.
Your story is exciting because it’s “your story”. Thanks for sharing. Congrats and best of luck. I took the leap of being self employed a year and half ago so I can relate to the challenges.
Thanks for sharing. It’s so good to see you move forward with your aspirations!!
Thank you so much for sharing. I wondered what had happened, but didn't feel comfortable asking. I am sure you will be very successful in your new company. The truck looks great and I am looking forward to riding along with you through future videos.
Congratulations on your new adventure!! The industry needs more drivers like you!! All the best!!!
Congratulations, on your new venture! About your lights, as a retired pilot, most of the lights in the planes were red with dimmers. For night adjustment for your eyes so you can see better at night.
Congratulations, and best of luck with your new endeavor. As a driver for 41 years, (28 hauling cars) I know how erratic the trucking industry can be! Sometimes it’s more profitable as a company driver, than actually owning a truck. Being an owner operator has certain benefits, but sometimes most of the profits go back into the truck. It’s just the reality of being an owner. A lot more responsibility! We say in the business, “ If you own a truck, you never have a day off ! My professional advice, Determine a good salary for your personal well being, and keep the rest in the business!!! That way you build and grow the company, while keeping your head above water, and having excess for any contingencies. You are smart, experienced, and hard working. You will do fine! Be patient and give it time ! Stay diligent! Gods blessings upon you and your family !!!
I pay myself a salary to a point. Only thing I would say is make it a point to have at least 20 thousand in the bank before you treat yourself to anything.
@@daneblackburn613 VERY GOOD ADVICE, Dane!!! Stuff happens, and when it does you need cash to pay for the fix at the same time that income stops while you wait for parts & labor. Both are very expensive. And the truck payment goes on including insurance, taxes, etc.
Over here in the UK, for a national (UK) and International (Europe and beyond) heavy goods (over 3.5ton Gross vehicle weight) operators license, by law you have to have at any one time a minimum of £8k for the first vehicle and £4450 for every subsequent vehicle after that IN THE BANK. To me that is like skating on thin ice if something goes wrong.
TripleGTyou are so right. I was an o/o for 40 yrs 16hrs a day 7 days a week. If not driving repairing. My truck was my misstress. I never married didnt have the time. My kenworth is paid for and sits in the shop hoping the industry will turn around so you can make a descent profit. I dont see it happening.
I know the hours I run a farm pick up milk wagon
Dom I’m so happy to see your growing an seeing your story and the strength is awesome
Ah, at about 13:20 you answered a question I was going to ask - Great that Pellco values you, and that you left on great terms. I'm sure they'll sub to you as often as they can because you're a known value.
I wish you and your husband well in this new adventure! I think starting a new business is a good move. Nice to hear that will be able to get some work form your old employer. Sounds like a great company to work with.
you are going to do great in 2022!!! we all have faith in you;-) its a big jump into the self employee/ownership BUT you have a great work ethic & will be fine!!! yes the week of Christmas & new years is VERY SLOW.... iv been in the family business since i was a kid, i have started taking that week for a vacation & to spend time with the family!! thanks for sharing & be safe!!!
Growth is a wonderful thing and to have a company to support and understand your growth is priceless plus having the opportunity to haul for them is awesome
Well Congrats on your new truck and the start of your business and hopefully it does great.
So glad to see you back Daum. I really missed your videos. I was sad when you left your 'truck driving' skills to work in management. I totally understand that feeling of going to work feeling 'miserable' soon as ya wake up. I had too many jobs like that too. You are an inspiration to me and many I'm sure to find attain your dreams, and I've always wanted to be a 'Truck Driver'. It could be the year finally for me. God Bless you and your family.
Good luck with everything. Love the videos
I support your decision 100% And I think you'll do quite well on your own God bless you don't give up we love your show and your truck looks very sharp nice find
So glad your'e back driving again ! Look forward to your new adventures Niki !!
Sounds like the start of a new story. Best of luck with the new business! it’s nice to hear someone who has worked hard and is prospering expressing gratitude for those who helped them get to where they are. 👍🏻
Thank you for sharing. That is awesome that everything is coming together. Congratulations!
Congratulations and good luck with your new business!👍
That’s a great story. Wishing you nothing but the best. Hopefully we will get to see more videos of you out on the road soon!
A great video, thanks for the update.

Its good you got to leave your old job on good terms. I am happy for you and can’t wait to see videos of you and the new truck. Love the logo on the truck.👍🏻
I really hope you succeed in your business not many are thinking about starting there on business good luck with your start up have a great new year
you know we are all behind you 100%. B est of luck I know you will do great. One thing though I didn't know your husband was a driver I thought he was just a mechanic, but that is awesome a back up driver and a mechanic there is no way you can lose! Again best of luck not that you need it, you have the means and drive to make this work. Keep the videos coming I love them!!
way to go, great looking truck, you will do great because it is YOU😉.

Thanks for telling your story on this! So nice that there was no drama, maybe Pellco will throw some work your way? They already know you're an honest dedicated person, so cool you have the opportunity to do this! Good luck!
Yeah I’m sure they will have some work for me later on.
That's an awesome update. Im glad all is working in your favour. Best of the new year to you all

Congratulations on having your own business. I love your honesty and have nothing but respect for you. Most RUclipsrs don’t like to give up their real situation or numbers. Nothing but respect
Best of luck to you and your husband D! Exciting. Also, I’m sure this will be GREAT for your channel here as a bonus. Life sure has changed for you in the past year or so that I’ve been watching. 👍
Thank you so much!
Keep looking forward, you have the drive to do a great job. Looking good forward to future updates.
Thank you!
Congrats to you and your family Miss D! Hat's off to Peltco! It seemed like a straight up company when you did your earlier videos, and they seem very honorable! With you all luck!!!
Congrats on the new truck and business Dauminique! Thanks for the story about Pelco too. I enjoyed hearing that all things went well and you will likely be doing work for them soon with your own setup!
Thanks so much!!
Great video. Thanks for taking us along for the ride. 👍🏼💪
Thanks for watching
Hi Dauminique, All the best for the NEW YEAR. From the first video I looked at I was able to determine that you are a very concencious and talented worker. You and your husband have the potential to do great ,BUT, it have to be a committed and dedicated effort by both of you. I think that your former employer knows your ability and would give you lots of work. Continue with the same kind of committmentand initiative and all will be ok. BEST WISHES.
Dauminique, my very best wishes to you and your husband in your new venture with your own dump truck. You do an excellent job as a truck driver and dump operator. You'll do an even better job as the truck owner. I hope that Pellco and other good companies will provide you with opportunities. Keep on doing the first rate job explaining your topic. Your vocabulary and thorough explanations are a real treat in a world of people with poor language skills.
Haha I really appreciate that. I’ve never really thought of myself as being very good with words.
@@DauminiqueTheDumpTruckDriver Well, English being not my first and home language, I also thought from watching your videos you speak so well and calculated.
And all I can say is being the start of a new year as well my wishes for you, your husband and family that this is the start of a new dawn for you all. Good luck and Gods Richest blessings to you and your family. 🙏🏾🙏🏾🇿🇦🇿🇦
Great story. Wishing y'all the very best on your adventure.
Thank you!
Always nice when you leave on good terms, it is a reflection on you as a person and a business. Good luck and enjoy your freedom!
Thank you!
Good luck, more power to you. I can't wait for more video in 2022.
Thank you! There will be lots more I’m sure.
Thanks for sharing ….
Exciting stuff ….
Best of luck …
Thank you!
With your attitude I believe you will do outstanding your smart and you have the support in your court I will continue to keep you spirits up Good Luck you got this 😊
Thank you!!!
Thank you for sharing, no greater compliment to a company than to have an employee that becomes so successful that they leave and start their own company and still speak kindly of their previous employer.
Yes very interested in this story thank you so much for telling it. And Best Wishes and good luck
Thank you for sharing… wishing y’all all the best!!!
Thank you!
The logo looks good!! Im proud of both you guys for chasing your dreams and turning it into a reality.👏👏
Thank you!
Good luck D, you will do amazing!
Thank you!
Congrats. I've been through what you went through. It's tough but you'll get it done.
Best wishes in the new endeavor! Nothing easy about it but it has some perks you’ll never get anywhere else. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Best of luck to you. What has happened to the prices of trucks in the last year is crazy. Looks like you got a good solid truck, and with your channel and connections from your time in the business you should be fine as long as you keep at it. I would think you'll have people reaching out to offer you work. I found when I first started out that finding a place to work for that paid in a timely manner was half the battle. Make sure you keep on people that owe you money. Again, good luck.
Congratulations. Wishing you the best in your new venture
Thank you
Good Luck!! We are all rooting for you!! No doubt you will be successful.
Thank you!
Congratulations on the truck and go get them Dauminique. You have all of us behind you. I know can do this.
On to bigger and better things good luck and hammer down 👍
Thank you!
Oh no your story is inspirational actually. As a 23 years O/O myself going out on my own authority has interested me through the years but I haven’t had the guts to do it so I stay leased to a carrier. You have great will and passion to go out on your own. I wish you the best and will keep watching to see your adventures as you go. Awesome job young lady.
Congrats on the new chapter in your life. Hopefully all goes well.
Thank you
Takes a lot of guts to leave a comfort zone. Keep up the confidence and positive attitude and you'll get there. Sounds like you have some pretty good support surrounding you. I've found if you are a good person and help others out when they are in need, when the time comes for you to get a little help they'll be there for you. I'm glad you took the time to share this story. It gives credit to your past employer and the person who sold you the truck.
I'm in same spot just like you , but the difference between you & me I'm still working my regular job at USPS ( 8 years ) . I love to follow my dream, but I'm not strong enough to decide ( To be or not to be ) .. thanks & glad to see you again ....good luck
Thanks for sharing Dauminique, atlleast you're local and not
long haul so that definetly will help with the bills being payed
on time you got this.
Wish you all the luck and good fortune!
Thank you!
Best wishes on your new endeavor. Keep the shiney side up. You and your husband are fortunate to have complimentary skills to each other.
Keep up the good work
🔥🔥🔥 YOU’RE GONNA DO GREAT!!! Can’t wait to see you and your family business grow💪💪💪
Thank you!
Hi Dauminique,

Congratulations on your new ride driver !!!! Wish you the absolute best !!!!!!
I really enjoyed this video. I truly respect your honesty as well as devotion to your profession. It is a godsend that you not only have the confidence in your self but others in your life appear to feel the same about you. I have always heard that if you truly enjoy what you do for a living you will never work a day in your life. BEST wishes for you and your family in this new chapter of your life. May you have a happy new year as well as a prosper one. 🙏💕👍🇱🇷
Great story! All the best with the new business. Look forward to "in the truck" videos. 😁👍🍷
Can’t wait to see the new rig go to work! And excited for y’all to be successful with it!
Thank you!
