1. thanks, great video, very informative!
2. great video, thanks mate and nice truck, i love the simple lines of the day cabs, sleepers are the ugliest, boxy things ever put on trucks.
3. Thank you. I just came off the road to start driving a frameless end dump locally. I've been driving it for 2 weeks now, and your training has been very very helpful. I owe you a big Thanks for taking the time to do this video. I wasn't using my trolley brake, while it was on the way up (I read about a driver who started to roll over, and he let off the trolley brake and pulled forward while lowering the bed, and saved it) and I was dumping my trailer air bags, but not my tractor air bags. I'm lucky in that I dump at the same places every time (concrete plants), and there is only one place that is a little scary. I was also told it wasn't a matter of if I turn one over, but a matter of when. Thank you so much.
4. What was the best dump you ever had ?
5. Thanks
6. I'm new to dumping WHAT and HOW in the trolley used . What is the difference if using air brake yellow button .
7. you should never get out of a truck with your trolly break on . dump using your foot break and set the parking break when exiting the truck !!!!
8. I'll stick with my side dump.
9. 103,000 lbs for the whole trailer or just the load?
10. do you need a tanker endorsement to drive a dump truck??
11. Good video man thanks. I drive a roll off and totally agree 100% all the truck wants to do is rollover.
12. I'd just use the floor brake and then when it's time, let the load push me ahead for it all to empty out.
13. why you must have the tri axle up when you dump
14. Question, what if the trailer is equipped with a tag axle should you lift it too before tipping?
15. I've seen frameless dumps fall over after they have went all the way up straight. Sometimes I think frameless dumps go just cause they want to. Lol
16. Let me say this when it comes to dumping a trailer you live in another world. I drove them for 45 years and when the Boss tells you to do it or he get someone else. I have dumped them on side of hills with table size rip -rap in the box when they built RT 17 through NY. In all my time only one went over and that was because someone only spot welded a draft arm I got it up 1 piston and it went over after having dumped several loads with it.
17. What do you do if you get almost all the way up and the load sticks on one side?
18. thank you really useful advices .... good video man
19. 35 yard?
20. Yo bro awesome video. Great job on the step by step explanation. Very detailed and packed full of reason why you're doing what your doing. Loved it!!! Love to see more. By the way how did that shit smell you were dumping?? Looked ripe lol
