Please I love to joined your organisation there, am hardworking person and flexible trustworthy and reliable ready to learn more, I have 3yrs driving experience, but no work, please help me with job I appreciate it🙏
I am a retired locomotive engineer off of Union Pacific Railroad (UP) in Seattle. That mud gets loaded into gondolas by Waste Management (WM), then UP hauls them to a huge landfill in Gilliam, Oregon where WM unloads them. Those cars get REALLY heavy if the dirt is saturated; WM has to fill them only about halfway otherwise there is a danger of the car frame bending and cracking.
It looks more like topsoil than goo, someone probably didn't have a tight tailgate at some time and lost part of their load on the highway, hense the tail locks rule. Have you ever had to line the bed with poly sheeting before loading contaminated dirt?
I really enjoy riding along with you. You make everything you are doing that day so interesting that it is fun to watch. Oh, by the way I hope it isn't too late HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY to you. Hope your day at the end was great.
Huh. I'm fairly certain I recognized the scenery on part of the route coming out of the load site. I'm 99% certain I drove right through there about 15-20 years ago during my own trucking days. Used to run a lot of Costco loads in and out the Seattle-Tacoma area, mostly dry vans in and intermodals out. Doesn't look like it's changed much at all. Bit surprised I even remember it, but then again, there were some pretty, um, _memorable_ events involved. I was limping a busted truck that was screwing up for about the eighth time with the same issue, and it was the only time I EVER got a thank-you-gram from the company I was driving for at the time, after I managed to get the entire load delivered to three different Costco stores in the SeaTac area only slightly late despite limping a busted truck, and having to stop and refill the leaking coolant every couple of hours. And then I spent three days getting it fixed yet again. Followed by making it back home just as the same issue reoccurred yet AGAIN, and our shop foreman and the company owner both hit the roof with Cummins, making quite a few very irate phone calls. Which resulted in the local Cummins place doing a rush job on fixing it, supposedly PROPERLY this time. Yeah, well, plot twist...They did fix the issue once and for all, but they didn't do it _properly_ at all. Apparently they did such a rush job that they managed to get a bunch of metal shavings into the oil system, because they didn't take proper measures to cover or protect other parts while they had the engine apart working on it. So I get clear across the country into Virginia on my next trip, and the engine literally blows up from basically having a bunch of shrapnel in the oil pan the whole trip. Right in front of a chicken coop, no less. The truck ended up getting towed into Baltimore, requiring a complete rebuild or replacement of the engine, and you can imagine where things went from there. But hey, that's truckin', right?
I'm from your neck of the woods (SnoHo), but I'm out of state for a year for work. Watching your videos reminds me of home. Thanks for the work you do, and thanks for the videos.
So I been subscribed and watching for a few years... This is my favorite video to date... you look happier than I can remember!!!! and you always look very happy. I wish I could be a dump truck driver!
I don’t miss driving in those areas especially the Georgetown or SODO area, I work for the railroad and I worked all over that area and between Tacoma all the way up to Bellingham then I transferred to Ellensburg.
I watched the roads you were on and recognized a lot of them from my years of running the northwest from Kansas City area. I also smiled listening to your cat exhaust
Just in case no one told you, you’re not supposed to wear your headset on your left ear only on your right ear. That way you can hear emergency apparatus coming up behind you or in front of you or beside that’s the reason for this. It is a DOT LAW
I used to haul dirty dirt mainly from old gas stations from the tanks leaking for years. Took it to Maine where it was burned and recycled for landfill cover.
I'm not to sure if you go cross country for camping but there is a really good place in York County Pa called Codorus State Park, it's got a really big lake with sail boats and everything, you have to check it out....great people good times we go here yearly and I absolutely love it there. Love your videos!
I found out about your channel from FSC TRUCKING. So I decided to watch your channel and see what it was about. I was fascinated by your setup, the dump truck and a trailer! I don't think I have ever seen that type of setup on the east coast. Could you show us the levers or knobs between the seats that work the hydraulics to raise and lower the boxes? Some info about the workings of the truck would be interesting. Also, I had never heard of Chomps before this video. I just recently saw them for sale in Walmart so I bought a bag. They only had 2 flavors and I bought the turkey and they are actually good. I thought they were a bit expensive but doing a little math and they are in the same price range as the other meat sticks but the chomps don't have any of the nasty greasy stuff that you will find in the other brands. I must say that I do enjoy your channel.
Mud locks = Slurry locks. If you screw them down real tight when empty then can be a real PIA to unscrew once the weight of the load is pressing against the tailgate - What is your legal GVWR and how many tons can you load in your setup ?
The company im with cleans that wheel wash and the storm system they have there every quarter, that water runnoff you were talking about always makes a mess after you've been driving through it all day
Just wondering if the dump box gets washed out at some point. I mean if the stuff you're hauling is toxic, I wouldn't want you hauling a load say of topsoil for my lawn if it's not cleaned out first.
Dauminique, Looking at the amount of material you load, here in the New York area that would be considered a half load, most of the trucks are 12 or like 22 wheelers filled to the boards
So if you are hauling contaminated soil, why didn't you use your tarps to keep it contained? I know its wet, but still the tarps would keep the tiny particles from flying out.
She said it was runoff from a parking lot so it's "contaminated" with any oil that might drip from the cars in the lot and get washed away by the rain. The highways are already loaded with oil from cars. It sounds like the state of Washington is extra conservative about it like California.
Years ago. When dirty dirt or asbestos had to be hauled from Ma to Maine to a landfill. The load was diapered and had warning signs . When you crossed the state line.You could take off the placards.Problem is the company would follow the hired trucks.If they took off placards before crossing state lines.I think they were filmed and fired.
I hauler contaminated earth from the old Bangor Hydro HQ in Bangor, Maine to Juniper Ridge landfill in Alton, Maine back in 2017...hated every minute of it because Alton is my home town.
Greetings from southern Ontario Canada I really enjoyed the video and I'm always amazed at how you manage to handle 18 gears on a dump truck no different that the truck on the 18 wheeler same amount of gears
I've hauled "Dirty Dirt" a few times myself here in PA, years ago. I had to take it to a place across the border into Ohio, to huge incinerator. With regulations the way they are these days, I wonder if it even still exists lol. I had to "sneak" it in, because my boss didn't have apportioned plates - but it paid so well, I wasn't allowed to say no.
Good afternoon, I'm just wondering if there will be a follow-up elaborating on the circumstances of Bobby crashing the dump truck. I love your content. Keep it up.
Saw the title and figured you were going to take it to the cement plant I used to work at down on the Duwamish. Guess not. I wonder if that WM facility just takes it over to the plant as it gets put into the kiln there and burned up at high temp.
Hey nikki good to see you,, hurry up and wait ,thats about it most of the time, seems like your truck is behaving pretty good after all the repairs keep those fingers crossed!!
Hi I'm new on your channel and it's very interesting what are you sharing with us. I'm from South Florida and I own a triaxle dump truck. Do you guys do only doubles over there?
Another fine vlog. D., I think your trucking gig is interesting, as you do various jobs in interesting and different locations. Esp. to someone like me from the east .. plus you look smart and well presented as you work..I was wondering if. the truck. Box has to be cleaned after these contaminated loads ?? Bye for now,
I’ve never met anybody in Seattle that loads me that light! Just because it’s wet. lol If I get 6 inches of sideboard, If im lucky. Keep up your videos. They help all the people that don’t know what they’re doing.
Every time I've gone west I see these and doubles even Rocky mountain doubles... Always wonder why we don't do this on east coast... During hurricane clean up can load truck and trailer 20 loads instead of 10... They talk a lack of trucks... Wouldn't that help? You all can carry what 100k I think to right? Don't know if ever posted that every time I see one of these always think this. Love the videos my got family just south of Seattle.. we'll have to hit road again 2hrs left. You know the Boston trucker would be putting tire shine after pulling out that place lol
hello! my wife and I are moving into the seattle area. Can you point me in the right direction for companies that do ITO dispatching. I have a 6 axle dump truck. Thanks!
@@DauminiqueTheDumpTruckDriver independent truck owner or owner operators. So there arnt any trucking brokers to sign on with if i need to keep my truck busy? everything is direct with customer? thanks for your help
Hi Beautiful Dauminique, great video today! Loved it❤How is your intestinal issue coming along? I hope that have returned to normal and have no more symptoms or issues. You are the Best! Later from the 82 yr old guy from Indiana. Stay safe and well!
back in 2002 me and my friend nick leave the pit i put mine on we hit heat rain his gate blew open right infront of me…. first and last time i ever seen something like that. crazy
How do you get away without tarping your loads. If I pull out on a public road without my tarp on and I get caught, it is a very hefty fine here in Quebec.
There can be a lot of "Hurry up and wait" when moving contaminated dirt. I'm sure you are used to it. Nonetheless you are in the truck and working. That is a good thing . Glad you are working !!!!!
I’ve found a few regular vids that I enjoy and watch every new one. There’s no way that I would miss one of your vids unless dead. Do you watch FabRats? I have two daughters who look a lot like you in early 40s. They live far away so it’s fun to see. You and your shades and blue hat, Hollywood. A good screen writer would turn you into a gold doubloon or two. A daughter in law is a screen writer-director in LA.

It is sure good to see you back and feeling a whole lot better than before.❤
I like the sounds of working when you can. No talking or music just working sounds of loading or dumping.
Soo nice just work no story ❤
Congratulations on half a million viewers Bri. Enjoy the conference and thanks for your knowledge and videos .
Bravo! Driving through that downtown Seattle overpass area - with a pup - bravo!!!
Amazed how you shoehorn that rig everywhere!!
Thanks for awesome video. Much respect to dump truckers.
Great to see a new video again and hope you are feeling a lot better.

Who ever chooses the tunes in your vids are a fitting choice. Thanks.
Watching you drive in Seattle keeps reminding me why I hate pulling a semi-load up there or through there, and I don't care what time of the day it is
It’s easy
So I been subscribed and watching for a few years... This is my favorite video to date... you look happier than I can remember!!!! and you always look very happy. I wish I could be a dump truck driver!
Loving watching these videos seeing truckers doing their thing. You're awesome.

Great stuff, any advice for someone who wants to drive a dump truck and eventually buy their own equipment?
Thanks!

6:48 Get a dead blow mallet or you'll break those locks.
I like going over Mercer Is. I graded all the topsoil out on those slopes! They are really overgrown.
Just wondering if the dump box gets washed out at some point. I mean if the stuff you're hauling is toxic, I wouldn't want you hauling a load say of topsoil for my lawn if it's not cleaned out first.
Thanks for sharing your experience
Yes turn buckles here in Jersey. My boss made a killing hauling contaminated soil.
In Jersey we know what it’s contaminated with !
Enjoy your vids.... nice content. I noticed there were plywood panels on your dump bed. Is that for protection?
This Lady is B. O. S. S. Truck Driving Beauty! Stay safe! 👍🇺🇸😊
Couple weeks ago I had to make almost the same drive you did from Redmond to the Southworth ferry picking up two 10'- 4"x10" LVL beams.

I am glad that you are back. I am definitely going to try chomps i always enjoy beef sticks. i know something you recommend is a must try
Instead of safety vest, what if you got high viz Shirts? Just a thought, I hate vests too so I wear my orange company shirts. There more comfortable 😁

If you want great hand cleaning wipes. Try Sweet Patina's wipes. They get you clean gently and beg for more.
how heavy is your dump truck with nothing in it?
What was the contamination on that? Seems like where you got it from? It’s probably a fuel spill.
How do you get away without tarping your loads. If I pull out on a public road without my tarp on and I get caught, it is a very hefty fine here in Quebec.
Figured you always carry gloves! You always do a great job!
Do they have load boards for dump truck owner operators
Yes but I don’t use them. It’s not something that our area does.
@@DauminiqueTheDumpTruckDriver thanks
Can anyone tell me how far do companies go back when it comes to looking at your driving record before hiring
Thanks for the video, loved it.
Ah! You were at my work! 😆 too bad I missed ya. I did see you a month ago on the road in north Bothell.
Here in Canada zep wipes are available at the home depot thanks for sharing peekaboo to you 2 😊
so sweet! good luck!
Does your truck have A/C
Yes
@DauminiqueTheDumpTruckDriver just wonder because u were talking about being hot and humid
The hair is 🔥🔥
Absolutely awesome video!👍
You say the topic with such a smile👍🤔
Been there and done that! Hated those kind of jobs!
How long are you when u are reached out?
You loads seem small. Does the water add that much extra weight?
I'm a bit surprised at sucha light load. They usually pile it on right? lol
Looks like a fun job compared to mine, I’m hauling cans, driving to Bellingham tomorrow
Hey Dauminique love your channel how do you record your driving hours don’t think you guys use a tachograph ?
There can be a lot of "Hurry up and wait" when moving contaminated dirt. I'm sure you are used to it. Nonetheless you are in the truck and working. That is a good thing . Glad you are working !!!!!
What a Legend.
Going to cdl school next month and hoping I will be able to get a job as a dump truck driver🤞
NWC driver here 😊 I didn't know you had a channel. 😮. Hope all is well.
Hello keep up the good work❤
How many tons can your setup haul?
Truck sounds good!!
Hi do you get paid by the load or by weight I don’t know how it works I’m not a truck driver just curious have a great day.
Well, Seattle is definitely the perfect place for all that waste.
Here in illinois we cal them grain locks
Get some tub o towels. One wipe wouldve cleaned your hands right up. They are the best just as good as any pumice cleaner and water but in a wipe
