- I found one! After searching and searching the internet and not coming up with anything I really like or could afford, one of my friends showed up and sold me one of his trucks. This truck is a 2003 Kenworth T800 Sturdyweld Dump Truck with a 98 4 axle Sturdyweld pup trailer. Things are going to get interesting.

How do I keep my long work days entertaining? I love listening to books. Here is the app that I use. amzn.to/3FG78gy
I need a job I want a job I am a Indian driver
I must give credit to the previous owner, who has kept the truck in good clean working order.... 👍
I have a gut feeling you're really going to fall in love with that CAT. Also, you really can't beat those older rigs. Pretty darn reliable and if anything breaks, pretty easy for mechanics to figure it out and have you up and running quickly. Nice rig. Thanks for sharing. Enjoy!
Can’t beat that sound of that CAT!!! Be safe and enjoy 😉
Thank you!
Congratulations!
After being an O/O for over 20 years and watching your vids I could have told you it was a matter of time!
Keep On Truckin!
Thank you!
Great to see you finally got a truck!! I was super excited when I got mine years ago. I mostly hauled asphalt, and gravel, but I really liked the asphalt jobs. I can tell you really like what you are doing hope to see some more of videos when you get your rig in service and the way you want it good luck and drive safe.
Ya asphalt jobs are nice cuz you sit there parked with the engine not running for hours
Having followed your journey for years your development is amazing.
Now, working as a Heavy Equipment Tech in The High Arctic you just might benefit from using Arctic Grade lubricants and Grease during winter time.
Uphere we spray every outside placed part that moves something with an aerosol driven Arctic Lubricant, and works great.
I am looking forward to see you develop your trucking business, with your drive I am sure that you will need a lot of truck numbers pretty soon.
Merry Christmas.
Start with 100. Congratulations D. Looking forward to seeing your progress in this, and many more videos. Merry Christmas
congrats on the new to you ride!!!! that was a great Christmas present to yourself!! may it always bring you home & keep you safe in your travels!!!
Congratulations, looks sharp. Keep it loaded and the wheels rolling.
Sweet ride Dom, congratulations. Good luck in all your endeavors.
Thank you!
Congratulations on the nice purchase! Just an idea to leave the beds titled up a bit over night to keep water and ice out. Can of fluid film keeps moving parts, and hardware fresh.
Wow! What a beautiful rig!! I'm glad to see you back, its pretty hard to make the transition you made from truck to office, but you tried and now here you are! This is your passion and its in your blood,so I'm glad to see back behind the wheel where you belong. Marriage is a 50/50,so you both came out a winner. You got the Kenworth and he Cat 🐈 🤣 Is that a country western song 🎵 🤔 I say it enough, I'm so Happy for you, before you know it you will be fleet owner 😉 Merry Christmas 🎅 🎄to you and your family Dauminique!!! God Bless!
Djk34💖💝💘😍 are you single how old you are
@@djkreigline2760 Yes I am and old enough to probably be your grandfather and then some LOL 😆
Meow Meow Meow! Not a thing against the Caterpillar (they are common in medium-duty land - which I am more familiar with and Sturdyweld dump bodies are showing up more often as well - again, even on medium-duty trucks).
Congratulations on your new purchase, so happy for you and the family.😎.
Hello . how are you
I am so very Happy for you!! I just can't believe how clean it is!! When I go back to work I'll be spending hours cleaning out the truck!!
Beautiful truck and that's a perfect combo! I like the drop axle setup on that pup. You for sure wone the lottery with the whole package. Congradulations!
Thank you!
Beautiful setup you have there. Looks like your friend took very good care of that truck. Merry Christmas and a Happy New year! Wishing you much success in your business! 💖🙏
Congratulations, that looks like a very clean truck for 2003.
May you have many happy miles on the road.
Would love to know any details you are willing to share like how many miles or do you think you have any work to do on it to get it to where you want it to be.
Wishing you and your family a very Merry Christmas and all the best for 2022
Congratulations on your new vehicle 👏
It's nothing like having your own.
I'm so happy for you 💓
Thank you!
I found your programs on you tube for the first time ever on 12/27/2021and I must say that your content is very interesting as you share in your own style the daily life of the construction world. I benge watched several episodes and was sad to see you leave the truck for the inside office position. Your beauty is as a movie star. I know you will find your way back in the driver seat again.its in your DNA to drive trucks....Good luck in 2022; I look forward to seeing more videos even if they are older segments. I was a mechanic many years until my bones wouldn't allow me to stay at it. I miss the field work but life goes on. I relate to your construction field work. Thanks Ms.Dauminique. for sharing your dump trucking videos. From Tampa Bay Florida,USA Happy New Year 2022🌠 keep on dump trucking ✌
Congratulations on the truck and good luck with your new venture ,I give you a lot of credit for making it happen !
Thank you so much!
Merry Christmas! So happy for you. My wife and I watched the video. Looks like a good truck. I don't know anything about dump trucks, but to us it looked better than any of the auction trucks you showed us. We will be following your progress with interest. Get the "I's dotted, t's crossed and business licenses in place, and your camera mounts installed. We're looking forward to interesting video ride alongs. Numbers? The business is like a small town. Truck one is an honest designation. I'd start from one and proceed in the positive direction.
Wow, congrats, looks in god shape! Nice color. I'm always 'shocked' by the lenght of these trailer pull bars you use over there. In northern Europe we can do with less than half that length, with about same weights
This is AWESOME! I'm so proud of you! Congrats 👏
Thank you
Congratulations 👏 May she always keep you and those around you safe. And may she always bring you home and take you to the life you want. The best of luck from Ireland 🇮🇪
I'm also saving money for buying a truck soon pray for me and have same content on youtube
Congratulations!!! I hope that everything works out for you and your family! Merry Christmas 🎄🎁 and Happy New Year 🎊🎈🎆
Merry Christmas!
@@DauminiqueTheDumpTruckDriver h÷
Congratulations! I've missed a few videos and haven't been online recently but you've bought your own truck and also got promoted a few months ago?
How's that working out? Are you doing runs out of your personal dump truck when not needed inside the office for project management etc?
Been watching for a few months on and off, no surprise you're doing great for yourself! Congrats!
Glad to see the progression for you. Hopefully you stay real busy and pay it off quick.
Thanks!
Congratulations! Looks great! Only thing slightly negative I'd say based on years of pulling Sturdyweld steer drops is those trailers are flexy fliers and spring breakers on the back two axles and tippy as heck. Nothing you can't handle. Merry Christmas to you and yours and a happy and prosperous New Year.
Yeah, trailers need maintenance over the years. It should be fine.
Congratulations! The truck looks great, much better than some of those other trucks you were looking at. When you get some time you might want to address some of the surface rust on the frame. I hope you have a very Merry Christmas!🌲❄🏂
Congratulations! What a fantastic milestone, hard work pays off 💪🏻
What an amazingly clean and straight truck. Beautiful.
Congratulations, looks well maintained! 101!
Thanks
Congratulations on your rig. May she bring many more rigs to the family. Please start preparing the space for more trucks to join the fleet. Get hubby to wire wheel the frame rust out and give it a coat of black paint. Make her look pretty.
She could do that herself stoopid.
Congratulations!! Very clean and nice truck for the model and year!!
It looks like a super clean Truck. The guy who owned it looks like he really took care of it. I pray that they truck serves you well. I drove an 03 for awhile and absolutely loved that truck. I would absolutely take an older kenworth over a new one. Great video. Merry christmas!
Nice looking rig. Chances are the trailer brakes are frozen up as well with the dogs and reach locks. Be careful that the truck gate doesn't hang up on the reach lock when you're Jack knifed to dump the truck. It's good to let the truck box come down a ways before pulling forward especially with those sturdy weld reach locks. On uneven ground the truck gate can contact the reach possibly. All the best on your new venture.
Congratulations on such a great truck,looks in wonderful condition for its age,and you can't beat a CAT! What horsepower is she? One thing with that trailer tailgate lock. We have a similar setup in the UK. The actuator where the piston goes in and out to open and close,keep the piston spray oiled,it soon eases up. Every time you grease up stay that too. Truck number has to be 001 and the trailer T001. Happy Christmas to you all,hope you find lots of work for it,best wishes for 2022
Congrats!
Nice truck and awesome driver!
Back in the saddle! Congratulations! That's a gorgeous and classic T-800, same interior as ours! Happy to see I'm not the only one who lifts the hood from the side. Looking forward to your progression! Best of luck in 2022!
Thank you so much!
How are you doing guys
Nice truck! I think you will like the Cat after a while shift it early in the low side and let it pull. It doesn’t need to rev as much as a Cummins.
And a Cat will lug even at low RPMs...I've driven a lot of them
I’ve seen guys go from the old detroits into cats and they can’t drive em. Reving up the two cycle down into cat low revs was to big a change.
Looks to me like you need some Greece
i drove many trucks with different engines and i have to say 100% youre right about cat engines--you can lug them lots more than any other engine i have driven....they are excellent engines for ANY construction platform with the low end torque thats available.
Congrats on your new rig combo
Just under 500 thousand miles is still young yet.
Aluminum boxes, super singles on the trailer and those to me are a plus
105 + GVW is a plus too.
Yes every truck has some small issues but they can be worked out.
LED lighting is a good thing, but one near the drivers cab looks not right.
The pintle hitch on the front end is nice
If it does not have those LED flashing beacons yet I would get those installed and probably some LED spot lights too
By the way I missed you saying what the transmission gears are set as . 13 speed?
All in all a great looking truck for a great start hauling stuff.
Numbering your truck should mean something special to you and I will bet you want to name it something too. Like the Silver Cloud or something like that.
Cant wait to see you back in action, now lets get to work...
👍 and stay safe. Plus Merry Christmas and Happy new year to you and your family
I drove Dump trucks as a Teamster (282) for over 35 years in New York City and all surrounding States. Retired with some disabilities now. I did enjoy the KW 800's and 880's. This video is over a year ago so a belated congratulations to you. I started in the early 1980's back when very few owned new trucks so you could imagine the hunks of junk I drove on my time. It's so nice to be in a truck that doesn't fight back. I started in a B model MACK with a Quadraplex transmission and moved up to a 1968 MACK DM 800 with a 18 speed Quadraplex. Back then there were mostly Tandem trucks on the road. Anyway thanks for listening, I love your videos. Keep on Truckin' and keep the rubber side down.
Wow Truck and Trailer just like the owner BEAUTIFUL!!!
Made you a nice Christmas present for self.
Stay safe.
Nice ride there! Nothing shabby about a W900! I’m preferring them over the oval emblem these days! It’s amazing what a good grease job will do to loosen up those pivot joints! Best to you and your family!
She got a t800? Or did she get a w900? Looks like a t800 to me
@@drewmurphy2796
You are correct! T800!
Pretty truck! How about Truck #21 for the year you acquired it. Granted, when you go big time and start adding more than one per year, you'll need to add letters before the number.
So, weekend and after hours side jobs, or have you already given notice at the construction company?
How are you doing 🎉
Good on you.I had 2 of my own for 15 years here in Australia.My first one I had for 4 years then sold it & bought a brand new one in 2009.Had that one for 11 years.I was just over it all so I sold that one too & now I just drive 5 days a week for a mate of mine pulling refrigerated trailers.Finally got my weekends back.Good to see you having a go & I hope it all goes well for you.Good luck.Cheers from OZ.🇦🇺👍✌️
Man o man! Nice job young lady. Sweet truck and all you need. Nice backing job. I’m excited for you !
Thank you!
Congratulations! That truck looks amazing for an 18 year old vehicle. It appears to have been well cared for.
Thanks!
@@DauminiqueTheDumpTruckDriver i hope it has train horns and Jake brakes
@@DauminiqueTheDumpTruckDriver i saw the train horns in the video can you make a video honking the train horns
@@DauminiqueTheDumpTruckDriver
GOD BLESS YOU 🇺🇸 TAKE CARE A LOT THERE!!!
Congratulations on the truck and trailer! Good luck and best wishes on your new journey!
Thank you!
So glad you have your own truck.its looks great wishing you all the best with it be safe.
Congratulations!!!! What an amazing accomplishment. Can’t wait to see some videos of the new wheels.
Thank you!
Congratulations on your new rig there driver! Good lookin T-800, with one of the most dependable CAT engines out there. Can’t go wrong! 💪🏻
Thanks!
Congrats on the sweet truck!! I can't believe how long that trailer tongue is !! I'm guessing that is for the PTO so the trailer can dump? Good job backing that up!
It’s for bridge weight
You can't dump with a short tongue!!
Doesn't have anything to do with Power Take Off lol
@@DauminiqueTheDumpTruckDriver Hola saludos wapa
Beautiful equipment not to mention a beautiful home yard. Well done!
God Bless and Happy New Year
Happy New Year!
@@DauminiqueTheDumpTruckDriver It's going to be a great new year as 2021 was a great time to take stock in life and gear up for the new.
Going back to equipment appraisal just to see if that's where I want to stay a while. My last appointment before the pandemic was up in Tacoma and Vancouver Washington to a truck yard and a satellite truck yard. Due to safety we canceled and stayed around home here in SoCal and did some medical buildings. I want to get back to crawling all over heavy equipment which I have a love for. Thanks again and by the way I LOVE THAT FOUR AXLE PUP! I will sub to your channel and see more about it. Stay Blessed and loaded.
Goodluck with your new setup! Drive safely!
Thanks!
Nice clean truck. Looks like it was cared for. Good engine, whats the mileage ? Are going to work as an independent or work for a company as an owner operator?
Sharp looking ride! I really like that set up. 😎👍🏻💯
Thanks ❤
Nice. Keep doing what you love. Congratulations
Great to see you getting started on your own truck.
Best wishes and good luck.
Thank you!
Nice looking truck! For what it's worth, I had a 2003 T600 semi and my buddy had same vintage Peterbilt. I much preferred the clutch in my Kenworth over the Pete. Something about the underslung pedal of the KW made it so much easier to depress (for me anyway). As far as numbering....how about year purchased followed by sequence in that year? i.e. 211 for this beautiful KW.
Yeah I’m too light to drive the Pete and be comfortable.
@@DauminiqueTheDumpTruckDriver Fun fact.... ICE cars/trucks etc only at best 30% of the fuel tank is useable/propulsion the remainder is free $$ to oil companies, noise, heat, mechanical losses(about 3000+ moving parts) and pollution.....
An EV drive train are about 95% efficient less than 10 parts to move, heat weight/load....
The NIO ET7 has an 150wk battery around 1000km range imaging 2 of them batteries grafted in a truck the rear motors from the 1020bhp Tesla Plaid turned sideways to power the truck rear axels aka over 600hp at the rear wheels ...
Ps America BANNED made in America BYD busses/trucks.... lolol how's that for racism creating unemployment.....
@@kylereese4822 huh? How did electric vehicles get brought up? And racism? What the hell is going on?
@@DauminiqueTheDumpTruckDriver Electric vehicles that`s easy ICE transport is getting banned in cities around the world,
Racism easy BYD is basically Chinese but has zero involvement with the Chinese Government
With said bans how much will your truck lower in resale value over the next 5 years ?? and how much is fuel going to cost and any restricted /entry zone payments going to cost.... ?? will them costs be the same as buying an electric truck ???
Very nice T800! It’s always cool to see those 3/4 axle pups you guys have up north. In Houston there are a lot of us who use pups but we only have smaller 2 axle ones.
We haven’t used those since the 90’s. A few people have them here and there though. I don’t think I’ve ever seen one on the road though.
@@DauminiqueTheDumpTruckDriver Congrats… We have Tri-Axle Pups here, but no long hitches. There are some that have a Dolly and regular tandem trailer too.
Depends on the State, some States you can't haul any more weight with a 3 or 4 axle Pup, so why wear out the extra tires...
***CONGRATULATIONS....1st VID I HAVE SEEN FROM UR CH & LOOK FORWARD TO MORE(& working thru u vids already posted)*** I would ❤ to see a detailed vid showing how everything operates & the purpose of things on the inside & outside of the trk & dump trailer. Like the reach trailer, which I guess extends/retracts(what's the purpose?), what are all the gauges, how does the floating axles raise/lower & so on. BEAUTIFUL SET UP MA'AM, WE CAN TELL UR SO PROUD TO OWN IT, AS U SHOULD....HARD HONEST WORK ALWAYS PAYS OFF!!!
Every time i think about getting out of correction i can watch your videos and rember how cool this part of trucking is and rember why im still in it. Thank you
Congratulations on your truck purchase and I gather this has been a dream for some time. It certainly looks smart for a 23 year old truck and the quick walk around looks like it has been well maintained, sometimes it's not what you know but who you know and it sounds as if the owner felt it was better to let it go to someone he knew than take a chance another way. Best wishes for Christmas and your new beginning from here where it's 19c at present 👍🇳🇿
Pray for me as well
I'm also saving money for buying a truck soon pray for me and have same content on youtube
The truck is a 2003.... Under 20 by my calculations
man Ooops bad finger troubles, 18 years sounds a lot better 😕
@@JohnR-NZ I have a 82 pete that is like brand new! The age does not matter it’s all on who owned it!!!!
Congrats girl !! I had a feeling you had a surprise in store when I saw you preparing the parking spot. Much better looking than the ones you were looking at on the auction site, plus being a friend, you must feel more comfortable. I was noticing, when you were trying to open the gate on the pup that the drop axle was down. Did you charge the trailer air before you tried that and the drawbar latches ? Just a thought. I know you're a VERY smart and knowledgeable girl, so please don't take that as criticism. What's the transmission ? I couldn't quite see the knob in the video. I would guess either an 8LL or 18spd., but I'll be watching !! I'm 72, and a former triaxle and dump trailer owner/operator in N.H., having had 5 trucks running at one point, but toward the end I sold the used ones and bought a brand new Pete 379 ext. hood daycab heavy spec. tractor, and a used 34' triaxle aluminum East dump trailer. I can still remember the rush I got each time I got a new (to me) truck, and especially the rush when the new Pete came in ! Anyway, I'm really happy for you and will be following you on your new journey. I know you'll be AWESOME !! Merry Christmas to you and your lucky husband 😁!!!
its an 18-speed i saw it the splirrer button is gray thats an 18-speed
@@chriscrane5327 Oh, cool. Thanks, I didn't notice that. My favorite trans. !
Yeah....I was gonna say the same thing about charging the trailer. Especially with it being cold and the trailer old and sentimental. I drove a 7 axle dump with 8 airbags so it took a minute to air up and release gate and fill bags. It's 5 months now so I'm sure all that's figured out now. Yaay for you again.
Beautiful set up. Absolutely love that truck set up.
🇬🇧🇬🇧 great to see you behind the wheel again, truck and you look 10/10 🇬🇧🇬🇧
Being curious here.. is it because of the law that the drawbar on the trailer has to be that long?
Since I come from Europe, it looks almost ridiculous being that long. Here it would be like 2 meters/6 feet long.
Yeah i'm wondering too
@@peterandreash2841 Wondered the same, my guess would be spreading the weight distribution over a larger area on the ground?
It’s bridge law, to spread weight on a bridge. To prevent that ‘sinking feeling’. You shorten up when empty. I like to see happy people, go gurl!.
@@bobnwashington Thank you, thought it had to be something along those lines. It would not be legal/practical here as our roads are too tight, so looks quite strange! Plus too many idiots would try driving between the truck and trailer at junctions 🙄
@@AimeeWalton You’re right, they do try to drive between the trailer, had it happen, that’s why a light on the reach is required.
For unit numbers may I suggest using a series system: 101... for pickups; 201...for tractors; 301...for dump trucks; 801... for lowboy trailers; 901...for dump trailers; 1001....for wagons. Makes identifying the unit easy. Or something like that-- plan for a big fleet. 😃
That's awesome! Congratulations!!
Congratulations that’s awesome 👏 God bless you SistA❤

I like them!
That’s beautiful congratulations. That’s definitely something to be proud of
Thank you
Congratulations 🎊🎈🎉That’s Awesome 👏🏾
Backing down in the dark…… real trucker stuff. Love the truck, congratulations.
Truck looks just like my heavy haul truck. I love me some t800's. They are beautiful. C15 is a great motor also. You'll love her, like one of your kids. Congrats!
BD1 sounds good! Love the idea your husband came up with
That's one sweet old T800. And a sweet truck and pup setup too. I like BD01 for the truck number. I drove transfer dumps for alot of years, and always enjoyed it
How are you doing dear
You go girl, I invy you and keep up the good work and you are an inspiration
Congrats!! Cat over Cummins always. Never start with 1; looks like a newbie just starting. Every rig, new or 'seasoned', has it's own personality and quirks and you'll find them and work with them. Having a partner in the biz always helps.
Everyone knows me and knows I’m not new. Besides I don’t particularly care. Haha
