i love how older guys describe you where to go for 5 minutes, then ends it with "real easy" and expects you to remember everything you said. damn just send me a pin on google maps bro

Dang man you must have heavy contracts and be a millionaire driving a $300k dump truck. Most people I know run $50,000-$125,000.

I love how clean all those dump trucks look compared to the shit around me.

"Just go this way and take a left, then go that way and go right. Cross the tracks twice and vere left. Go right at this place, left at that place, veer right and you are there. Real easy. You can't miss it." lol

Nice rig, I hope at $300k you are getting consistent contracts to cover your cost and make something well to live on. I always appreciate entrepreneurial people and want them to succeed in the most honest and easy way possible. Precisely what we are missing nowadays due to big corporations. Stay safe driver ✌🏽🇺🇲

I wouldn’t air the bags/bellows down when loading to make the truck shorter. Let those machines reach and even beat that board up if you have to. You don’t want to stress your bags trying to air up and pick the load up. They are also made to compensate for the weight difference around the body.

That's exactly what I would do. Inflated bellows can explode when taking a big heavy load when it's dumped fast. He's doing the right thing. Heavy haulers: like, excavator, wheel loader, big dynamos that are loaded on a trailer with a crane: ALL drivers air down their bellows. If the bellows can't pump it up: you're overweight. Bellows should be able to take the load.

At our quarries, the drivers are never allowed to exit their truck until leaving the exit gate.
