That poor girl looks so intimidated. I remember my first woman trainee, she got in the truck scared the hell out of me the first day, but she turned out to be an awesome driver. Keep up the good work
Same here. I tried my hardest but after two weeks she was too scared to back up into a dock or drive at night. Unfortunately I couldn't pass her in good conscious. The boss went with her for a day and she refused to drive and that was the end of her career with them.
@@DauminiqueTheDumpTruckDriver The only nerves I see her showing is "I hope I don't hit the wrong switch and break something" which is good. I hope the job is living up to her expectations.
@@techman9634 that's the way I would train too. I'd also let my trainee know that mistakes can and will happen, because we're human. The best we can do is to work safely and learn from our mistakes. I had one kid maybe 17 look so scared that I was gonna yell at him over a mix-up. I said "Buddy, the reason I'm here is to help you learn, not yell at you because you didn't know, take a breath and lets get back to it."
She has the best teacher ever it's so nice that your trying to teach her everything and spend weeks with her in the truck parking at home is so convenient
I just wanted to say hello! My name is Richard! I am a blind person who loves big trucks. Just wanted to let you know that I truly admire the work that you guys do. I hope you guys enjoy your summer.
I think it is great that you are training a new person! I used to train new people all the time and one major thing I learned is to make sure the new trainee knew that no question was a dumb one! Wishing you both the best!
I have been driving buses for several years, and I still ask questions. Worked with a lady who works with us part time, however, with her experience, I request to work with her. She will give you feedback on your driving, and has made me a better driver in doing so.
Awesome to begin to share those little insights and understanding that came the hard way. That is how we trained in the cockpit of army helicopters in VietNam over 50 years ago. As in "let me share those things no one will ever tell you because no one ever took the time to tell me" That is what training is about to prepare the trainee for the unexpected.
Great job showing Allison the ropes. It just shows that your employer has confidence and trust in you. In all my years of OTR driving I never had to train another driver. I did have to take a couple of guys out once for their pre employment test. One of the first things I told each of them before we left the yard was to make damm sure that I arrive back in the same way I left. 🤣. They both passed and got me back to the yard. Waiting on your next video. Stay safe and stay healthy. 🙏💕👍🇱🇷
It's true you start from scratch again trucking schools didn't teach me nothing until I got on road with someone who taught me stuff and then learning on my own . Everyday is a learning day for me over the road
Training like this in construction is rare. Normally it’s a quick run through the controls and you’re on your way. That’s how I was taught. Here are the keys, this switch turns on the pto, this switch opens the gate and this lever lifts it….good luck!
You're doing a great job teaching Alyson. You're teaching he the skills she needs to have high earning potential for life. That's got to make you feel great. Keep up the great work you do. Years ago when I owned slam bangs and bottom dumps I wish I had drivers like yourself. It looks like you're easy on the equipment and you treat it like it was your own. Good job!!
Great job for an excellent driver, a new truck with automatic transmission and trusted with moving equipment around shows the respect the company have for you and getting to introduce a new female driver to the very different world of dump trucks and construction with all its little minefields out there. You will be a great instructor because of your own learning experience and dare I say the effort that you put into these videos detailing to us what you are doing will benefit both of you as you progress through the training.
I really like how everyone in the construction industry is really respectful to you…for your next new dump truck that you train you should write down on a note card what you want the trainee has to say on the when they getting loading and after loading going forward it might help them
Awesome job !!!! I always put my front tag axle down after being loaded while traveling through the stock yard to help out the frame and suspension 👍👍👍👍. Drive Safe and good luck on your trainee !!
Good luck to your protege! Good luck to you on your nerves of Steel as you give up your old office and put the trust into someone new. I I just like my manual transmission on a big rig and dump trucks but the way I learned when they just threw me in the fire and the instructor said you're on your own. If it wasn't for my mom's cousin's husband I don't think I ever would have learned how to drive a big rig but I did learn all of his not so good ways of how to be a truck driver even the logs
Good luck to Alison and hope she catches on and takes a liking to it. I can certainly say that training new drivers can be a real challenge, and at times downright frustrating. But the easy ones are the folks who immediately wanna interact and show interest in learning 👍🏻
IMO your doing a terrific job at training Alison and on the man side of things you were absolutely gorgeous the entire video!!😍😍 Placement of the camera might have been the key. Your hubby and kids should be so proud of you!! Great job!!! Good luck Alison you’ve got a great driver to follow!🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
You're awesome trainer I've been driving a framed end dump trailer for almost a year now and now hauling a frame less dump for a few weeks now and figured out that I've been dumping wrong
Dude if I had a dollar for every time I said I was gonna clean my truck out and never did, I wouldn't need to drive a truck anymore. It's right there with washing dishes on my list of favorite things to do haha
I just got my CDL a few months ago and am thinking about retiring from doing concrete work and getting my own dump truck. I work in the Seattle area. Thank you for your videos
Ya it’s always nervous for both. Weather your a trainer you hope to teach them as much as you can do you don’t miss anything. Then a trainee you hope to learn right away, but it all comes with repetition with any thing. But anyways your doing an awesome job! My trucking school starts Tuesday! Can’t wait!
Almost every Ellensburg Cement Products and the Granite Selah quarries I get loads from have the loaders that can scale the load except for the ECP Kittitas quarry.
This was 2 months ago....so how was it ? Did she succeed? You seem like a very knowledgeable person to teach/train, and to think.......you learned on your own wow!! Very amazing I would say.
Y’all be careful out there. Nice training job, but she really doesn’t seem to be too enthused about the in’s & out’s about driving. What state if this? Lots of axles!! What’s your tare weight? How many tons can you legally haul? Here in the Nashville area, it’s 85% tri axle, and some quads; I can haul just over 22 tons. I’m 29,640 lbs empty. I drive a 2015 Charcoal Gray T880 8LL transmission with a 600 horse C-15 tri axle. I have a new 2025 T880 on order with an Allison 6 speed 🤮 and the 500 horse Cummins X-15 under the hood. I prefer a manual over a automatic; I feel I have more control over the truck
Removing the passenger seat seams to do the trick on training people. But a seat organizer really helps. Duluth makes a work station that is a clipboard on top and storage below. Cheers...
Please Please show any new drivers how to disconnect “kill” battery’s on any truck when needed. I had a dump and pup miss a corner in front of my house. The steering was ruined and the engine was off but the freaked out driver”I would be freaked out myself” . The fuel pump kept pumping and even the fire department could not stop it spraying without disconnecting the battery’s. Some trucks have a disco switch but in hind sight pulling the key even from a wrecked truck stops the fuel pump. Since then I reccomened pulling the key and putting it by a brake or gas pedal.
Hi 👋 how and where can I even get the ball rolling? I am new to this but want to make the correct choices as in where do I even start ? From school to what license
I really want to know her story. What made her get into trucking? What was her experience doing ltl. Why does she want to do dump trucking. Im currently trying to get my cdl& also want to get into dump trucking
Golly I’m glad the sun wasn’t out on the steering wheel ... otherwise you’d put my eye out with the reflection from your ring. Hope you have a good adventure training.
New subscriber Dauminique and first off, I have to say thank you for filming so much of the everyday dump truck driver life. I'm coming out of retirement (boring!) to hopefully drive dump. I'm an experienced trucker in the film biz but want a job that's very little physical labour for recurring medical reasons. I've watched a few of your vids in the past few days and they're great but this training video is probably the best for my needs right now. For someone wanting to keep driving truck without the physical labour, is driving dump something you'd recommend? Do you have another video amongst your many that you'd recommend watching to learn the controls? Thanks again. Keep em' coming. They're a good watch.🤙 Edit/add: how did you get the shot of the bed that starts at 14:44 as you're pulling into the U of W? Very cool.
Hi Dauminique , always loving your videos .. I think you'll make a good teacher, but it's probably gonna be stressful ( it always was for me ) .. Hope everything goes smoothly .. Have a great weekend ..
Can anyone offer advice or guidance on how to start my first job as a dump truck driver? My boss wants me to learn asphalt and paving quickly, so any tips or tricks would be greatly appreciated. Thank you so much for your help!
Just like when I used to deliver to the U of Oregon. You might have well have been invisible. The higher Ed. crowd would not even see a big truck coming! Todd the retired trucker.
@@DauminiqueTheDumpTruckDriver Thanks for info ma'am. If the truck is triple tandem axle, it's likely 105,000? I'd like to switch to dump truck work. I've been heavy hauling tractor trailer/chassis for 9 years & I'd like to switch over now to super solo dumptruck working.
I was wondering if anyone has any information or review on ride well steerable lift axles? I’m trying to instal on my truck but have no idea if they are good or not
Where do you get those sweatshirts from again? And I would look into a dewalt 20V vacuum. They work well abs very compact. Mines a 1/2 gallon one but perfect size for the truck
Cancer people can't help it we can be messy my pickup truck looks like a war zone, my bin truck I drive its messy but I have everything I need. You keeping your patience no temper tantrums lol, I have a hard time training people. Around here its getting to the point if you want a dump truck driver you have to train them. I'm a bin truck/roll off truck driver we are even a rarer breed of driver, hauling loads of stumps and high center of gravity loads.
Yeah pretty much if someone doesn’t have a job but has experience there is a reason why….it nice to help give someone an opportunity to be a dump truck driver.
@@DauminiqueTheDumpTruckDriver Got to get more women in the trades. The oldest dump truck driver we have in the area he is 80 years old. Owner operator with 3 trucks his driver is 70 plus. Lots of old guys well into their 70s owner operators.
@@Graveltrucking haha I don’t plan on working that long. To each his own. We’re investing heavily so that we don’t have to. It would be nice to be retired by the time we have grandkids.
@@DauminiqueTheDumpTruckDriver The cost of living is so high here in BC people can't afford to retire. I don't want to be working all my life I want to enjoy life.

The only nerves I see her showing is "I hope I don't hit the wrong switch and break something" which is good.

That happens when trainer tries too hard to seem all professional doesn’t happen when you relax and make them feel comfortable
Same for me, mine was a mean dude but now my friend 😊
Training people is so important, good trainers priceless.
That's why I like training. Cause I have had poor trainers and I want to make sure they know what I didn't
@@techman9634 awesome. The whole point of trainers is help people avoid pitfalls, especially the dangerous ones.
@@techman9634 that's the way I would train too. I'd also let my trainee know that mistakes can and will happen, because we're human. The best we can do is to work safely and learn from our mistakes.

The good thing about this is you said it,” a clean slate”. Starting from scratch. Good job teacher. 👍🏻💯

You a are a good trainer
I just wanted to say hello! My name is Richard! I am a blind person who loves big trucks. Just wanted to let you know that I truly admire the work that you guys do. I hope you guys enjoy your summer.

Training is a huge responsibility. You are driving and keeping safe for two people.
Good job teaching Dauminique, but I still think you're the prettiest dump truck driver out there!
She has the best teacher hands down
Great video and great job training. She is very lucky to have you as a trainer. Best of luck!!
Awesome job !!!! I always put my front tag axle down after being loaded while traveling through the stock yard to help out the frame and suspension 👍👍👍👍. Drive Safe and good luck on your trainee !!

What is the GVWR of a super solo dumptruck?
