Me being a welder fabricator not a truck driver you really don't realize how much of a process that dumping can be very coordinated very organized good job by the trucking company
My Uncle started with fuel oil, went to wood , then finally coal. He used it up till they sold the house and moved to Southern Colorado. No more winters after that. Coal is and has always been a dependable heat source. I am sure with todays electronics and designs, a coal furnace is NOTHING like grandpas old coal furnace. The store I worked at down town still had its coal bins and chute. We kept defective returns and street sale items till August. That should last you more than one season.
when i was young in the 50s, one of my chores at my grandmother’s home, in buffalo, ny, was seperating the chunks into seperate bins for size and then sweeping up the powder and containing it because of the flammability; it was dumped down the coal chute into the basement- sooty work but warmed us during buffalo winters. i’ve also worked in fossil ops power generation. there is a pulverizer and bunker level and the dust coats everything and everything is flammable - no smoking! no smoking when trains brought it into the coal yard either... good video!
I am also from buffalo ny but never lived in a house that still used coal one house was a converted boiler to natural gas and still had the little door the coal was dumped down
That's not how we got coal when I was young. The delivery truck had many small doors, and 3-4 men who would fill sacks from doors and carry it through the backyard to the basement window. We had a coal bin inside the window. We burned about a ton and a half each winter; our order size would depend on how much was left over from the previous winter.
Same here, I still have photos of the coal bin at the rear of our house with us kids sitting on top. The coal man would come once a month and fill the bin carrying 50lb bags of coal on his back .It took about 5 bags to fill the bin. If we were allowed we would shovel coal into a bucket and take it inside to the kitchen where it was used in the range. Often there would lumps of fossilized tree gum in the coal .Coal is far more efficient than wood .
That was my Dad's and uncle's business. They made their money on the delivery not the coal. No one wanted to fill potato sacks and carry them.. Sometimes the rich people would pay to have the coal left in the sacks. Then the houseman would empty the sack into the stoker. Come back and pick-up the klinkers and the sacks. They sold firewood too, mostly to poorer people. Coal was more expensive but gave off much more heat.
I don't think the driver ever had a dump trailer flip on him.I learned a long time ago to make sure you are on level ground,make sure the gate is released and stay in the truck.
Hate frameless. The one thought that 1 up and drew it should b shot. Very dangerous. East dump body the truck stays put as the dump leaves it own frame leaving the wheels on the ground.

I drive a quad axle dump and pulled an enddump for a few years and I have to tell you that when a trailer goes over, it's a hell of a lot faster than people think. You don't have time to run. Don't stand beside ANY truck when it's dumping.

Reading & Northern Railroad can ship you a 130 ton hopper of high grade anthracite. Not sure what the current rates are, but 15 years ago shipping was 6-8 cents per ton/mile plus switching fees, plant switch fees, and car hire fees on Norfolk Southern.
Have been running a 1/4 frame and frameless end dump tractor/trailers for the last 20 years as a driver for other companies. Always had daydreams of having my own truck with a gig like this. 53 years old, financially stable, only making house payments , no other debt at this time. Any advice?
How many tons was that? What does a ton of Anthracite cost ? We burn about 22 tonnes (a tonne is 2200 lbs) per winter to heat our house and 40x50 shop. we get subbituminous coal from Alberta for about $45 per tonne. Trucking doubles the price. The new carbon tax will likely double the price again. Our coal heat is about half the cost of what it was with fuel oil.
How long does a load of coal that size last you if you don't mind me asking? Also is it a large space with multiple stoves or a shop to heat etc? Thanks for the video!
A 23 unit apartment building I managed in Minneapolis had steam heat and the boiler burned 1.5 tons a day at 20 degrees below zero F. The last load in 1986, before converting to gas cost $950 + $200 delivery for 10 tons of stoker mix, about what you see in this video.
you put the coal on a tarp to keep it out of the dirt and you cover it up to keep rain water from getting in it. Hard to shovel coal if it's frozen together with ice.
I heat with scrap wood, but I've looked into burning coal as a way of supporting our coal industry. No anthracite coal around here in Seattle, Wa of course. But while Seattle originally had coal and timber as the reason for the growth of the city, and lots of coal in surrounding areas, I can't find a single retail outlet for coal these days. Too bad, I would be happy to have a coal circulating stove as a substitute for my wood stove. I was glad to see a modern coal delivery ----quite different from hauling coal into a basement coal or down a coal shoot that was the means of coal delivery before WWII. I'd like to see a video of you coal stove and/or furnace and/or boiler in operation.
Damn by most of the comments you would think this guy used the space shuttle to deliver that coal. Some of you people need to get out more. I had a 39' Ti-Brook frameless end dump hauling coal is easy ! Try hauling hazardous dirt to landfills-industrial freight to steel mills-scrap to scrap yards in these things that will put hair on yur peaches. Not sure of the dump system this guy has but when my pto engaged my ass was in the seat ! And I never set the tractor brakes to dump pulling the trailer forward while dumping as that is a recipe for disaster.I have dumped in some of the most unforgiving places you can take a dump trailer in and I NEVER laid over a frameless dump. Frameless dumps are for real dump drivers.
Very dangerous for anyone to be walking around the side of the trailer while dumping. Nothing happened, but I've hauled coal for over 25 years, never trust the trailer or the coal, or the ground you're dumping on and having to pull out on.
you nailed it... if the load hangs up in the bed and isn't perfectly centered (?) that elevated bed becomes a fulcrum imbalanced. they come down. and if the ground isn't perfect (?) the bed can flip just as fast. the truck equipment can malfunction and then the truck frame just implodes. it is dangerous.
I’ve always been told that it’s ok to walk beside it, but if it starts tipping toward the side your on run toward it. That will put you under it or on the other side before it hits he ground.
Man, that's a lot of coal. It would take me 20 years to burn it in my antique Glenwood 111. Glad to see people are still benefiting from burning anthracite. Is that nut size you've got, or pea?

Good coal is a hard rock and does not soak up moisture but it works best to keep it dry and some coal can catch fire if damp under the right conditions.

So, this rural area passed by during the electrification process back in the 40’s and 50’s? I could understand if the man was a blacksmith working a traditional forge but I can’t think of any other good reason for a person to order a coal delivery. Come on, let’s hear some reasons!
If you are not on the natural gas grid and most of rural America is not, coal is by far the cheapest heat available. I burned coal for 34 years at my home in Alaska, about 7-8 tons a year and I saved easily $50,000 in after tax money over using fuel oil during that time period.
I would never get out of the truck, or have anyone stand next to it just saying. Just watch some of the videos here on RUclips of trucks flipping it happens every day.
The driver sure isn't the brightest light in the string. He could have easily stayed in the truck and had the homeowner tell him when to pull forward as the coal emptied instead of getting in and out about 10 times.
Wrong, the driver is being cautious and making sure that nothing gets between him and delivering the load safely. It's very easy to rush a job and cut corners which many times will work out for you but it only takes once to have an accident that will cost you thousands if not tens of thousands of dollars. You can go watch videos on Liveleak for all the Chinese and Russian accidents that become very expensive and all too often at the cost of life.

Dang , that's like $7.50/unit/day! Natural gas runs like $3/day at my current place, and that doesn't account for inflation!
Is this a prepper tactic for SHTF? How many years will that last you? Do you have a generator that use coal?
It is for heating his home 10-20 years ide say
what is the cost of such a 40 tonne load currently in US?
High grade anthracite is about $150-$130 per ton right now.
I’ve seen Bituminous coal as cheap as $75/ton
Can I ask..Is it the coal that's superior..or the delivery method..??
How do you control the pto outside the truck from a distance?
We had a coal shute in to the basement. And a room for the coal.
Very good and careful driver
are you using this coal to heat up Your houses?
Is he using any remotecontrol in hand for lifting trailer...?
Yes. Wireless.
👍 And the truck didn't fall over👍 Oh, not in Russia 😉🇺🇸
why do you put the coal on tarps? Do you also put tarps over the coal?
you put the coal on a tarp to keep it out of the dirt and you cover it up to keep rain water from getting in it. Hard to shovel coal if it's frozen together with ice.
