- Always a new adventure in construction. Today I'm off to pick up a CAT 308 excavator that I delivered to a job last week. Only this time its just me. No operator, No Laborers....just me. Wish me luck as I do everything on my own for the first time.

Good job
Big Credit to anyone brave enough to video themself doing something like that on their own for the first time. Great job.
Thank you!
Videoing yourself doing something for the first time is easy, posting it for the rest of the world to see. Now that's hard
You did a beautiful job!
Hitachi excavator show just uploaded on my channel Dash5 lovers can watch it now....
Thumb up for this video dear?
Love 💕 from Dash5
Yup! Hey Driver glad to see you dumped the water first! Never liked getting dripped on hooking trailer up.
my first boss told/taught me many years ago: take it slow, the speed will come eventually. Time and time again it proved true. The more you do it, the better you get at it.
Matt...? Why not mouñt your winches solid ..?... i enjoy ...your show....?Also i trya one ton ontracks with a small roloff orillia ont canada
You got it onto the trailer without scratching the counterweight or losing any glass, and didn't drop the other bucket or tamper, so it's a win. No shame in taking it slowly and cautiously on unfamiliar equipment.
Ok full disclosure I did drop the other bucket but it was at the yard off camera. Lol no one was hurt and nothing was damaged.
i accully seen that same trailer new at my kubota dealer wich i was kinda wished i had $15,000 to buy it wich wouldve been nice to have
Slower frequently is smarter and especially if slower avoids an incident, then slower is faster!
@@DauminiqueTheDumpTruckDriver everyone learns the same way. Slow and easy. You’re no moron. I learned by practicing in the gravel yard. You’ll master it in no time!
I wanna know who in the hell is giving any of this amazing womans videos a thumbs down something is wrong upstairs with them people screws loose somewhere!
If you don’t like what you’re watching,
just leave. No need to reply.
Those are the inept hypocrites who can't stand to see a woman do a man's job. Kudos to her👏👏
Unfortunately there's still a lot of people in this world who thinks that a woman should only be in the kitchen and they don't need to be doing a so-called "man's job" 🙄
@@BM-if9zn ill take a woman like this beautiful lady anyday over any other no comparence to me this is a woman that can help her man cuz she understands wth is goin on and thats big in my book.
@@freedomfan4272 they can have their “kitchen woman” ill take this anyday everytime i see a woman doin a job like makes me proud and i love it shes a keeper!
Good job on loading, always remember to cross chain a load, not same side. And always keep the load as low as possible. We never stop learning.
Cross tieing heavy iron is good. And understanding a looped chain is twice as strong is good too.
It's great to see someone accept new challenges even if they aren't completely familiar. You'll go far in your career with a great attitude like that!
Damn girl...I give you an A plus!!!!!!. I think you did really good.....
Great job loading the excavator
Agree great job. Made it look easy!!!
I think you are incredibly brave to put your first time solo up on the net for anyone to see, you did a really great job. Slow and steady and you got it done safely with no damage, you’ll get quicker and more precise as you do it more but today you did a fantastic job. Thanks for the great video
This woman is a 'beast' loading heavy equipment. Any employer be thrilled to have her skillset on payroll!
I think employer is very happy with her. After all he gave her a brand new truck when she came back to work after having the baby.
Great job!!! Confidence will come with more and more doing well!!!
CELTIC GIRL THANKS FOR THE VIDEO. WE DIDN'T KNOW YOU COULD DRIVE THAT EXCAVATOR. YOU ARE A SMART GIRL AND TALENTED. THANKS FOR ALL THOSE BEAUTIFUL SHOTS.
Nice to see that you can load the machine using you're feet instead of you're hands that puts you on top in my books
Everyone becomes better with hands on learning. When there is no damage or no one hurt from tasks like these...that's a winning day. Keep it up. You got this!
Wish I had trailer like that when I had to move equipment, instead of a deck over with ramps! Scary times when it was wet! Nice job!
Yes it's a terrible feeling sliding sideways off wet, icy ramps when you're in the cab of the excavator. Ask me how I know? Lol
Always nice when you get paid to play with the toys 😁. I could never sit in an office all day.
Haha yeah it is nice. It’s nice that I work for a company that lets me do it.
Nice job, you would never know you were an amateur,well done
For some one who doesn't use one often, your company sure thought you were capable and you proved it, I've run many of those and I would consider you a pretty "Smooth Operator!!" And a prize too!!
Apparently, you are good at it because you did it without breaking anything! Awesome stuff!
haha true!
Nice job Dominique 👍love to see heavy equipment and at work you did one hell of a job moving that equipment I’d hire you in a minute 👍love the video 😘thank you
You took your time, were thorough, careful and thoughtful. I doubt the boss could have done it better. He obviously trusts you and your judgement completely and that goes a long way to building confidence. Very Good job, D!
The new Cat 308's are really cool looking.
For not having driven that much it was a very smooth load and unload. Nothing wrong with going slow and being safe. Great job.
Excellent job loading and unloading. Take care and have a blessed week and see you on your next video.
Thank you!
Great job your ready to run it full time.
Great job Dauminique, you made it look like you were an expert!! Give that lady a raise.....
You know what they say practice makes perfect. Did a great job for someone that didn't have a lot of experience.
You know pretty good . You kept the throttle down low , you didn't try and go too fast and you didn't break anything . My only advise next time curl the bucket up tighter and get the boom down lower on the trailer . It was probably low enough , but you don't want to be that person that ends up on RUclips because the boom was too high and you hit something....overall Good Job and practice gets you better . Cheers !
Speed will come with experience....right now a little slower and a little more careful is certainly not a bad thing.
You did A great job loading and unloading. Like any job it just takes practice but you did a great job
Hi Dauminique,
Let me say you did a fantastic job.
Yes you’re not an operator but you handle that machine like a boss the only way is to jump in feet first.
Love the sky shots !
By herself! That's got be the first time in history anyone has ever done that!
You can do it!!!
That little smile when you got it on the bed is just priseless.
You did great!! Slow and steady wins the day!!
Love the fact you get out there a do it ! , I was nervous backing the dozer off the trailer for the first time , Everyone gets that feeling when they are alone !
everything made it there in one piece, that’s success. Hint dangling attachments off chains by yourself may take more time than just taking the bucket off and attaching it. you did great, love the videos!
I'm impressed! Great Job young lady!!
Absolutely fantastic 👏
Loading , unloading , rigging & recording the whole process , you're good 👍
Thanks Dauminique.
you should cross your safety chains, other wise great job!
Well done! Slow and steady wins the race! Nice flashlight too!!!
Get you a day loading trucks instead of driving them and you will be good to go. Job done, no damage, call it a win. Better than some I've seen.
You did good Dauminique 👍
As the saying goes _"Slow and steady wins the race"_ Well done Niqi!! Love the camera work too👍🏻
You got this I have all the confidence in you just slow and easy have a wonderful day see I told you you had this amazing job
I tip my hat off to you,you definitely got skills galore 😁
Great stuff, you do much better than most blokes, love your work
Nice job, Niki! You prove every day how valuable you are to your company.
I appreciate that!
I knew you could do it. If you can hop into driving dump truck and start doing that then you can do anything
Hats off to you. You did it ny yourself without any help. And the most important thing is that you didnt damaged anything. Thanks for sharing the videos.
It's nice to learn new things when you're by yourself no one getting in your way or making you nervous.
Smooth operating. Got it done!
BIG CREDIT TO ANYONE BRAVE ENOUGH TO VIDEO THEMSELF DOING
HMMMM future operator? it looks good on you. I had to unload a dozer myself once. 1st 7last time. lol. no problems at all. they have a low boy driver. i was fresh out of trucking school. Now i THINK i know it all.
Great job operator and heavy equipment hauler
Slowly, carefully and safely wins everytime. Your boss knows you are capable and work safely and he has confidence in you.
Great job!👍
You go girl, you can do it !!!
Great job!!!!!! If you wanna learn new stuff like this a wise man once told me “Fake it till you make it” haha That’s how in the beginning of my trucking career I was given more responsibility like moving heavy equipment. Now 12 yrs later I’ve moved more equipment then I care to admit on a variety of trailers. And you lady did a good job it’s obvious you’ve paid attention all those times you had help loading so be proud of yourself 🤙🏻 Keep On Truckin
What's fun is when the wood deck is covered in ice & loading wheel loader or a excavator with rubber track pads , slip slide around.. Very true take it slow & easy , time will improve load time. Good job...
You did excellent I never did that I just drove you pulled off that deal perfect 👌
Great job I didn’t even realize you brought it back to the shop. Hope your vacation was great
Glad to see the new rig is getting it done! 💪🏻. And you seemed fine working equipment, nothing got hit! 👍🏻👍🏻
Bravo Great job you should be proud of yourself
Always best to keep the boom as low as possible when going on and off a trailer in case you have any kind of sudden tipping forward. Just some friendly advice wouldn't want you to go through the front window. Great job! Practice makes perfect>
Definitely. Keep the center of gravity low. Things can get wild otherwise.
I think you did an excellent job I'm proud of you don't cut yourself short
A little more seat time in an excavator is all you need! Good job!
You got that right!
An old man who was in the grading business that I looked up to as a teenager use to say if you run a piece of equipment 8 to 10 hrs a day for a few days it would start wareing on you. You would start to feel like you where part of the machine.
You do everything good an also look good doing it you could be there next operator
Geachte mevrouw, vanuit Nederland, ik heb ook een bedrijf gehad, nu 66 jaar jong , wat ik zo goed vindt is dat wat ik zie is een zelfverzekerd, wijs, goede visie op dingen gevoel en drive dat is prachtig en de ingrediënten voor een goede chauffeur en zakelijke inzichten te tackelen ,chapeau .
From 1 female to another. Girl you rock! So proud of you!
Always loving your videos .. You are a good employee , I notice you are really easy on the equipment , and you do things the right way .. You did say you hadn't operated equipment that much , but it's got to be a blast to learn and get payed to do it ( I was just a dump bucket driver , but wanted to do it all , especially a dozer , maybe one day I'll get to do it ) Thanks for sharing your time , I love this type of work .. Have a great week .!!
i allways tuck the bucket as tight as i can to the boom then lower it to the deck
mostly with a 312 or 316 thought you did well for the 1st time
Dauminique now that it's Wednesday morning in Tenino, 29 degrees seeing your pretty face and beautiful red hair my day has started right. 😀
Pretty brave. When my excavator arrived, the truckdriver told me he didn't want to unload it off of the lowbed because he couldn't operate it. I hadn't run an excavator before, only a backhoe and it was a very interesting ride up and over the rear tandem. I had only been demonstrated what the machine could do before buying it.
So kudos for you.
Whew! That sesaw action was scary!! Good job!
He's right. When I first started driving fire trucks I was tense because I was so nervous of messing up that it made my operating jerky. I was scared to death of tearing something up. When I just started saying "screw it" about what others thought of my driving I would drive the wheels off it lol. By calming down I was one of the best operators at my department. I've found that chewing gum or doing something else while driving helped a lot.
If I was there I would give you a High Five you did awesome
You did a great job moving equipment,, nice job..
My kinda woman, operate and drive truck!! Nice!! Well done too, I know guys that can't load that good lol 😆 Keep the rubber side down and have a great week 🤙🙂
So I did not get to watch until late this afternoon! You still seem to impress me more every time I watch! A helping hand just to turn things on the deck so you do not have to get in and out of equip is nice! But the comment at 15:53 is PRICELESS! Thanks Dauminique. That was Awesome. As a old time truck driver turned equip hauler its a learn as you go thing. How do you like the Super Dump so Far?
Nothing at all wrong with that for a rookie, good job.
Great job, for first time ,slow and steady is way to go.
Hey, as long as the job gets done and nothing was damaged, that's great. You loaded it like a pro that you are.
We've got the same trailer ours is a little newer we replaced the same trailer couple years ago. We carry 21 ton excavators on our trailer it's a little unnerving you can slip off the trailer the machine is 10.5 feet wide at the tracks. The 8 ton machines same size as the cat machine you hauled we carry on the back of our bin trucks.
Seems to me , your "Boss"has confidence in your smarts to do a job that you have seldom/never done. Nervous is normal. You don't give you'r self enough credit! Finders/keepers!
haha he believes in me for sure. He always seems to be giving me tasks I've never done.
@@DauminiqueTheDumpTruckDriver He also let you swing over his head with only one glance to be sure. That's faith.
@@gwpsr58 haha he trusts me. He’s a really great boss.
Well done , the more you do it the faster you get at it
for sure. it just takes practice.
Drove trucks and machines all my life and loved it. I would say you are fantastic at what you do. Best wishes Roy
Thank you!
That’s how I started learning to be an operator! I mean, I grew up on a farm so I kinda had a jumpstart but yeah, I was driving truck and because I was always careful and very safe, my boss asked me to start hauling equipment on the weekends. And so when I was out there with no one around to see me, I started playing around with backhoes, dozers, excavators, and everything else. Just go slow, and make sure that it’s chained down both forwards and backwards and the implements too, and you’ll be fine! I can see that you’re a good driver, so you’ll be great! 👊🙌💪🤟🤙👍👍
Experience comes with practice. It may have taken you longer than a skilled operator, but it got to where it was going in the same number of pieces you started with. Job well done.
Good job Niqi. You did great!
Hope you and your family are doing well!
Nice job 👏!!! Have your boss teach you how the quick connection works on those. They are scarry loading those. But you did awsome lady
All the people that gave this a thumbs down has probably never driving a truck, or operated any equipment. Great job
Good job Dominique. Mr. personality that showed up seems to be a real piece of work😎😎😎👍👍👍
Hats off to you that was excellent work you didn't get in a hurry no damages and nobody got hurt you did it better than some people that do it all the time great job
Hey, don’t put y’self down, you bloody good , as good as any non machine operator 👍 You did it safely, and that’s what counts. Respect ✊
I think you did better then me the first time I had to move equipment by myself
Admit it... you were having some fun 😆... I know I would.
Look like you did good, next time it will be easy 😉 stay on the safe side 😇
Wondering where you’ve been. Great to see you back. I think if I had an assigned truck it would bother me JUST a little if someone else drove it when I was off! :)
Great job Dauminique, woman power is gaining strides......keep the faith and lovely smile😊!!
Don't ever let your awesomeness stop shining, ma'am! Some of us would relish the opportunity to do that.
Don’t put yourself down! You did great. Like ya said in the end, how else do ya learn it? Can’t get experience by just looking at it. You did great!
