Mack sucks and therefore you suck for owning them. jk buddy,have fun with your truck.
I simply dial down the Pressure Limiter on the compressor.
That works too, this works better and faster😜
Inflation cage is worth it too.
Yea I need to get one, I’ve been using this, setting it and walking away. Also try to keep up on dates, and not run sketchy tires.
Did my own tire in the oil field it save me thousands of dollars 💰💰
It’s so handy cuz you can walk away and work on something else and it just beeps when it’s ready
Any new videos on your dump truck business coming? Even as basic as how you have evolved your business. Subscribed.
I’ve been wanting to, just haven’t made the time. I appreciate the support. I’ll see if I can get one done soon. Thanks!
Mac's are my favorite. Much preferred over Peterbuilt.... although Pete's look way cooler
Yea, the new Mack’s are pretty good looking but always hard to beat a long hood Pete.

Remember that investing in the stock market carries risks, and it’s important to do your own research and consult with a financial advisor before making any investment decisions.
Very true. With the help of an investment advisor, I was able to diversify my $550K portfolio across multiple markets, and in just a few months, I was able to earn over $950K in net profit from high dividend yielding stocks, ETFs, and bonds.
Could you kindly leave your investment advisor's contact information here? I absolutely must have one.
please help me with your advisor.
My Financial adviser is ‘’Marie Slopiey Donner’’ she’s highly qualified and experienced in the financial market. she has extensive knowledge of portfolio diversity and is considered an expert in the field. I recommend researching his credentials further. she has many years of experience and is a valuable resource for anyone looking to navigate the financial market
That's where iam now,,Wantto get started
Is that guy fishing 🎣 😂😂😂
How did you keep the dump gate/door from flopping open all the way?
For spreading, there are 2 chains that you hookup to adjust how far the door can open, this gives you a steady flow of material. Hope this helps!
How and where did you find business for your dump truck
Why dump trucks there is nothing more fun than going off road in a 73000 pound truck .that and paving is fun .
This was great to hear and watch. I'm looking to run my first dump truck in UT by next spring... Would love to see more videos on how you manage scaling to multiple trucks, cash-flow managment (paying drivers, fuel, net 30-45's etc). Also, I started a FB group for multi-truck (dump truck) owners in hopes of getting this knowledge out there to others like me!
Imo Macks and Western Stars are the best dump trucks. Forestry also.
They are built tough, definitely some design flaws, but no makes are perfect. Thanks for watching
I found your info on Facebook!!
Good morning. Where are you located? Reason, I have brothers that are in trades I:E, handyman and remodel. Handrails, gates.
Dope video! Love the editing. Predominantly drive a Mack. Prefer them over anything else.
I like them. Parts is kind of a pain in the butt, but from what I hear it doesn’t matter the make lol
You are very candid. I appreciate your time in making these videos.
Thanks for watching. It’s fun to make them, but it sure is time consuming haha
@@baremetalfab I can only imagine!! especially the quality of them. I Appreciate your time and effort.
Im buying 1 ne t
Would a Mack MD Tandem do same as far as functionality?
To my knowledge no, the md isn’t built to haul the weight that these trucks are. The frame is lighter and runs lighter axles. Dump trucks need to be pretty robust. They get beat up on the pit roads and job sites. I would stay away from mid duty unless you are thinking like a single axle dump.
Good Stuff Thank You!!
Thanks for watching!
Like, I like the video, like. But I, like, get tired of, like, hearing the word LIKE. Like, you know? 😉
Thanks for the feedback. Everybody sucks when they start. Repetition makes you better. At least I’m putting out videos🤷
You got a brand new truck as your first truck ?
Yes I did.
wtf is a crimp
What are u referring to
Sounds like u bought extremely expensive toy ))👍
If you can’t have fun why do it lol
hey man i saw on another comment that you typically charge around $120/hour depending on fuel costs... do you also have an initial fee or like a minimum fee? if i read correctly your clock starts from the pit where youre getting loaded to where you drop off? or is it from the pit > drop off > back to the pit? i was also wondering about how much it costed you to get up and running. other than buying the truck, CDL, insurance, licensing, are there any other permits you need? do you need an MC number as well? thanks!
Pit to pit. No minimums or fees. Just hourly. We schedule the trucks to run as solid as possible. Startup cost other than the truck is gunna very, but 50k would be a bare minimum of what I would have after buying a truck, insurance is expensive, also you don’t get paid for the work you are doing immediately. My trucks are burning about 1200 dollars and fuel per truck per week. And you can easily haul 3k in materials per day. So you need to have enough working capitol to get you through those times until the checks roll in. I also suggest having spare tires purchased and at least the oil and filters for one oil change readily available. There’s a lot that goes into it haha. Point being it takes a minute to actually make money. But it can be done!!!
@@baremetalfab gotcha... would you say that theres plenty of work to go around? do you stay busy?
@@Polskmofo i mean depends on your area. Where are you located? City or rural area?
@@baremetalfab I’m in central Arkansas not far from Little Rock.
@@Polskmofo okay, yea I have no clue what your area is like haha, but what I would do is go around and get to know the local contractors, see if they have a need for materials delivery. Call the local pits and see if they are hiring trucks right now. A lot of my business comes from the pits needing trucks for their jobs. Also be good to check with the local concrete plants. That’s how I would guage it. When I started in the dump truck business, materials would be 3 weeks out or more for delivery. Point being, doing your homework before you jump in! Hope this helps!
thanks for sharing bruh
Thanks for subscribing!
Great video watching from manitoba Canada 🇨🇦 👌
God bless Michael. His info made it all the way to me! Thank you
He’s a great guy.
When do you start charging the hourly rate? Do you ask for a minimum amount of hours? Thanks alot, man.
I see! Thank you for the video
No problem thanks for the support
Hey man is your tailgate air lift? Or high lift? I’m just confused on how you operate your rear door like a standard dump truck but I see the airlift mechanism on the side. Reason asking is I own a similar truck and wondering if I can operate mines without the air life like a regular dump truck door. Sorry if this question is confusing.
Yea it’s a high lift gate that hinges in 2 spots so 99% of the time we only unlatch the locks (air operated) and then it operates like a normal door. If we are hauling debris or want to stack piles closer together then we’ll unlock and hit a different switch for high lift gate. Hope this helps
@@baremetalfab Appreciate the response but it still confuses me I would have to see. My truck is similar to yours but on my pto I only have one switch to open and close (by air). If you’re not busy one day could you post a video showing and explaining how it operates by both methods?
@@baremetalfab Thank you!
Dump trucks is my plan b option, and I always was concerned about rainy days to find work....
We budget for 3-4 months off in the winters
What do you get payed? Bc u got a driver fast
@@baremetalfab what do you drivers make per month take home?
I run 2 Mack quad axles in Phoenix. Simple 16 is definitely the way to go plan on adding a 3rd drop axle on mine.
That’s awesome! How do you like the Mack’s?
Great video brother! How do you decide how much to charge per hour when you’re doing a job? And what is the typical hourly rate? I’m here in California we run semi trucks but I have been trying to learn as much information as I can about dump trucks to possibly get into that field
I’m 45 minutes out of Phoenix and been to the Vanguard Mack dealer on 19th ave. I’m toying with the idea of getting a Mack dump truck. Thanks for the video and information
Nice I own a dump trucks also how much weight are you hauling and how much tons can you haul.🤔
Okay cool we're I at if I had your truck I can haul 25 tons we haul heavy weights down here in little Rock AR dump truck business is really busy.
Hello how do you get loads for dump trucks? Are there load boards or through a contractor company
I have a question, how does one go for somebody that has DUI in their record? How does it affect into becoming a O/O in this gig
I don’t know exactly, but I would imagine you would want to keep a clean record until it drops off your record. Then work on keeping the good reputation. Trucking companies are looking for reliable guys that can take care of a truck and be dependable.
To become an owner operator, it would definitely affect your insurance rate. Everything else I think would be pretty straight forward I think. And everything I said previously still applies to the contractors you work for. They want trucks that show up on time and work till the jobs done. Limited breakdowns and guys that don’t bitch about what they are hauling.
Nice job!
Thanks! We’re still learning, but the bucket stuck together so I guess it was a good day😂
Hi there, thanks for sharing all your experience with us I aprreciate it. Would you mind to answer a couple questions? if yes I would like to know how much does an owner operator can expect to make? thank you.
Can someone explain to me why is there 3 axles up in the air when loaded do you guys not know how to engineer properly? how much ton do u load into that too?
The drop axles are typically only used when running down the highway. They help with braking and handling weight by supporting the frame. We don’t run them in the pits because although they are steerable, they don’t turn as sharp. We haul 21-22 tons
@Bare Metal Fabrication 22 ton for a 6 axle that is horrible in all fairness, how come the lift axle weren't steering when they were in the air, I thought they are connected with steering linkages or are they self steer axles? If you put down ur axles when steering ur truck won't get as much body role and feel like an iron on the road
That’s what legal in the state of az. They aren’t connected to a drive linkage, they are aligned to steer with the pressure of turning. The just follow with the front truck axle does.
@Bare Metal Fabrication Oh ok I see you should try and find a loophole and carry more but I don't see any point in having a 6axle if a 4axle can do the same loads?
Varies by state
I believe me&you Have a lot in common business wise I’ve done fabrication for 3 years then I switched to working on trucks &big equipment I’ve always wanted to run my business especially in structural steel & excavating & dumb trucks. Thanks a lot
No worries let me know if you have any questions. I’m no expert but I’ll help where I can. Thanks for the comment!
This is the first time seeing your channel. This was a really well done UA-cam video. The video shots were great and interesting and your narration was excellent. Congrats on the new truck and business and I wish you well in getting started in your new venture.
Thanks for the input! It’s much appreciated!
Thank you
In California I pay $250-350 for 20 tons of material. I don’t understand how you can pay off a truck like this charging that lol
That’s what you pay for material only or delivery ?
This is my shxt bro! I had to sub 🎉🔥🔥🔥
