Agreed!

So glad the driver and you are ok. Equipment and gravel can be replaced, people can not.

I REALLY hope the driver's wife or employer convinces him to get checked out medically. What a blessing that neither of you were killed! (And you probably would've been if you'd stayed in that truck. Good job listening to the Spirit to get out.) Happy Birthday, Cedar! I'm sure you'll never forget this one.

Thanks buddy!

You were both very lucky. God watched out for both of you.

Thank the God, both of you are alive. It wasn't either of your time to go.

Im glade you both are alive God bless both of you I will keep you in my prayers

God loves you and your Family. It is quite apparent at times during your videos that this is the truth.

Praises to God that you both are safe, that you were able to get out, and that he wasn't impaled by trees or thrown out of the truck on the way down! The lost gravel can easily be replaced. Neither you nor the driver are so expendable. I'm sure it's frustrating to lose progress on your build because of the lost gravel, but I'll bet you Cedar and your kids aren't worried about that at all right now! More likely, they're glad you came home safe to them tonight.

Well said!

I am glad no one was tragically hurt. He will feel it later on. That was one bad accident. Hopefully he will get checked out later. Thanks for sharing.

Oh my so good to hear you both are doing well, what an ordeal you went through. Blessings to you both.

Happy Birthday to the Wife and I'm Glad no one was Seriously Injured!

Just glad your both OKK.....it could of been a lot worst......Prayers .....

Glad you both are safe. Thank GOD and hug your family.

The old sayin' " just wasn't my time" is for sure here! Happy Birthday, Cedar!

Oh goodness. Glad you got out when you did. The driver really needs to get himself check out.

Thank God you two survived this... Your safety is what matters everything else can be replaced🙏🏽

Prayers for both of you

every thing can be replaced... good both of you are safe...

So Sorry. The guy was just making a living and his life could of been taken. I am thankful he is as OK as he says he is. Blessings to all of you. And if wife knows it or not, that man's life was a great birthday gift from above, I'm sure.

So glad everyone is alive!

Whew wasn't your time to go man. ..glad the driver is alive 😇

So glad no serious injuries. Blessings ~

Glad your not hurt, hope the driver is ok but you can never tell, hope he goes and gets himself checked out. Larry

God is with you both amen.please take the driver to get checked out by a doctor. Thinking of you both.

People are okay, that is the important thing. So glad you had to get out, before this happened.

You can only thank God that the driver and yourself are alive today

Thank God nobody was seriously hurt. Equipment and gravel are a LOT easier to replace than a husband and father. Wheeeew!

Glory be to the Father! You guys are walking miracles. You are right it's the soft tissue damage that hurts later and hopefully none of his organs have been effected. Keep us posted on what happens next.

Time to give thanks to our Heavenly Father for both of you are alive. This could of been the worst day of your families lives.

Seat belts.... Check out some videos "bus driver without seat belt". You will never drive or ride (like the video of gravel for driveway). Very scary. You and your family seem like very nice people. Would hate to see anything bad happen. God bless.

It is odd that he would loose his brakes like that. Those older trucks tend to have had the better systems. And if air pressure was lost you would think the spring brake would have come on. Well it sucks that it happened. Glad no one was hurt. End of the day they can build another truck.... can't build new loved ones.....

really pleased your both ok, take it easy.

So glad The Good Lord has you, your family and that truck driver in his hand. Some days look bad but something good will come out of this accident. It's just a truck and gravel and by the way that driver must be related to Harry Houdini.

Holy Moly!!!!!!!! I sure am glad no one was killed. He really needs to go get checked.

Dan... If you only knew. The passenger door was jammed when I initially tried to get out. I almost didn't get out because my truck was back at the gravel pit. There was NO logical explanation why I got out. When my door jammed, he took the hammer and got out on his side. In the middle of that I got my door open and jumped out. 30 secs later all hell broke lose... All too crazy to absorb at the moment but again, the driver is fine and I'm fine.

God will never let you down he'll always be at your side. the number one thing that keeps attracting me back to your show is the fact that you are a man of faith. but you're not all in my face about it you're not perfect and you're not afraid to admit it... just since watching your videos you give me the motivation to get up off of my butt and start working towards my goal and dreams to do the same thing that you and your family are doing. September 3rd I will be 40 years old. and I feel like I'm so far behind. to see what you have accomplished in such a short period of time although I do realize it's longer then whatever peers to be in your short clips in short movies. I look forward 2 years of more and just can't wait to see what that shop is going to look like when it's done. does that make me strange I'm excited about the shop house more than I am the actual house LOL. may God continue to be with you and your family PS I love your son's new old dirt bike lol I was a 77 baby myself. thank you and have a blessed day

I am glad everyone was ok

No one's hurt,good. Gotta nice start on yard art now.

Thanks be to God that nobody was killed

2 damn lucky men ,,are you going to be able to salvage any gravel, hope its not a total loss,again very lucky to get out alive and some what unhurt,wishing you both well,

Wow man God was looking out for you on this one, I hope you thanked God for sparing your life as well as the drivers hopefully he is Insured

Last fall my uncle rolled a 10 wheeler hauling corn to the elevator and turned out that when he replaced a hub on the front right wheel he was trying to be in a hurry and used the old cotter key and it cost him the truck. The corner where it was rolled was in between two corn fields but still goes to show take the time to do the job right or don;t do it at all. From the video looks much worst and hopefully the driver is ok,

At least the both of you guys are alive. Are you going to do a follow-up on how they're going to retrieve the truck? The company's gotta get the truck to investigate what actually happened, right? I'm just interested in how they're going to get the truck and have it towed. Just curious. At least God was with you guys.

OLD POST BUT I WOULD LIKE TO SEE A VIDEO OF THE TRUCK RECOVERY.....GLAD NO ONE GOT KILLED.

Wow! Many people have already said what most needed to be said, which is about gratitude for being alive. I suspect though, that the driver might have been afraid to go to the hospital or call an ambulance if he didn't have health insurance. Most likely all his muscles will hurt for a few days, but it doesn't start right away. He does need to get checked out, no matter what he says. It's costly no matter what. And as someone else said, I hope you leave everything as is and get the authorities and insurance company out to look and take photos. Was it the driver's own rig? If so, I hope he has good insurance and they'll agree to pay, and maybe there's some medical on the policy too. Oh and by the way, you really shouldn't be working on the property by yourself, you've been taking too many risks.

Thank God everyone is ok.

DON'T EVEN START MOVING ANYTHING... You need to wait for all the authorities and insurance to check it all out before you move anything. So glad everyone is alive -- be sure guy goes to a chiropractor - so many of these injuries seem fine but displace alignments and end up a problem later in life.

A late reply but this was a free truck, almost certainly not registered or insured and only used to and from a neighbor's quarry...... . Betting no cops were called and no insurance claim filed. The cops would have easily written about 5 grand in tickets due to the multiple equipment violations and neither Heath nor the driver would volunteer for that. It is really really rural part of a mostly rural state on an unmaintained township stub of a road. Nope. Also, what state do you live in when an insurance investigator shows up to a rollover where the driver refuses to claim an injury?

Im an owner operator of a triaxle dump truck. Would love to know how his brakes just "failed". His truck must have been in total disrepair and wasnt road worthy putting others on the road at risk. My truck isnt brand new and in fact its an 03 peterbilt. IF one brake is messed up the rest work. If i blew a brake chamber the rest will work. If i lose all air, the emergency spring brakes come on stopping the truck. The only way air brakes usually fail is if you are on a loooong strecth of downgrade and your brakes get overheated and fade. this is clearly not the case. This appears to be an incident of a truck in total disrepair. Good thing he didnt kill you to due to his negligence. Probably why he didnt want you call 911. He knew the police would show up and Dot would have inspected his truck and he would be in hot water

That's likely the case, brakes out of adjustment to where they weren't applying at full travel anymore or so worn out that the S-cams cammed over. I looked at a dump truck in Washington I was thinking of buying once that had only one decent rear brake operating yet the guy was still driving it. There's a good reason trucks like that have to go through a bi-annual government mandated inspection here in British Columbia in order to obtain licence and insurance.

Was this on your property or on the lane up to it? Glad everyone is safe

I"m glad everybody is all right.

You definately have an angel looking oit for you.. Gravel can be replaced.. You only get one life.

Wow that’s awful I hope the driver is okay

How fortunate no one was killed. No fire either. Hope he was insured, because there went his livelihood.

Thank God you both walked away from this. Been in some accidents and it's never fun....

Oh my goodness, that is really bad. I am so sorry to see this happened, and so happy both of you are relatively OK. The two of you are very lucky to be alive. I do hope he goes and gets checked out by a medical professional - he's probably in shock. Not to fault the driver or the company, but this is exactly why there are equipment checklists before *every* job, especially hauling 14 tons of anything on narrow mountain roads. I hope the company carries insurance that will cover this. How are you going to pull that truck out of there? Can you even get a crane in there?

The key point to an experienced driver was that he was having trouble getting the gate to open. The bed was still down so he didn’t raise it to put pressure on the gate. If he was sitting there with his foot on the brakes and dropped below 60 psi the emergency brake would automatically set. However, if enough of the brakes were out of adjustment the remaining brakes would not have been enough to hold the truck on a hill.

How far from you plot was he ? Might as well re locate septic tank hey ??? ..

Air brakes use air to hold hold them open , if he had no air or lost pressure from using them too much he would have a warning buzzer sounded inside truck. They would have also locked and he wouldn't been able to move. More likely unroadworthy truck
