That delivery driver certainly was helpful... Worth his weight in gold... In a couple of years time, you'll need to do that driveway again... So keep his number 👍 Also, beautiful place to live ..
When you get a good driver always ALWAYS always tip. Remember they’re by the hour and when you get a good one they’ll save you hundreds in time, fuel, and labor getting it spread out right.
I run into this all the time people have no idea what it takes to make a good driveway. In this situation I would have spread backing up right from the road. And customers never cut enough branches off, and you end up getting caught up in them and break them off anyway. Hats off to this driver he knows his stuff for sure, as we say,,,this isn't his first rodeo.
I have a pretty steep drive. Its gravel and I've stayed on top of it for over 25 years. When I first came here I rented a piece of equipment and put the angles, cleaned ditches, leveled out ruts, put in tile etc. After getting all that squared away I ran a couple loads of DGA. Walked it in with the Skid Steer I had rented. I then leased a buddies truck and spread 57. First rain I walked it into the DGA. A little dirty, crushed rock frome DGA but once the sun and wind dried this it was hard as nails. With a little up keep and a load of 57 every once in a while this has held up to a few very nasty floods, heavy snows, nondrivers from friends to city employees with large trucks to actual large delivery trucks. Putting a slight grade at certain spots will help with drainage. A ditch on both sides that's kept clean of leaves and branches is also beneficial. Blacktop wasn't recommended in my situation. Heated concrete would have been a solution. Now getting older it may be something I look into. Either way my drive is solid. Just an idea of how to make a solid drive without actual concrete. Once that DGA and 57 are locked together at the base you will have a solid drive. Work yes. Worth it? In my case and my time absolutely.
Way to go New Enterprise Driver!!! Definitely a well seasoned long time senior driver with years of experience.. Anyone can drive a dump truck & speed down the road, BUT do they have the on SITE skills to operate a Tri Axcel dump like this driver has.?? Use to love doing on site dump work while the Younger folks break the speed sound barrier bring loads in to a site.. Miss it, Good training video.
1st off why did you put gravel on top of mud... you need to put a base of abc down 1st....with out a solid base that stone will just mash into the topsoil....just my 2 cents....the driver did a awesome job of spreading. nice work.
@@edhansen8531 Actually I just had a 440 foot drive way done up a mountain in NC, I put number 3 rock for base and compactedbefore crush n run.So it has nothing to do with budget.It has to do with the right and wrong way.
In this condition, item 57 is okay any worse than that and trap rock is needed. Put your abc on top and then you can run your compactor. Once you are completed with your work drop another load of your finished stone or concrete, pavement,whatever. The cattle will pound it in an the base will be good.
Thanks, great job on the video. Good truck drivers like this person, know their equipment capabilities and how to use them same as equipment operators.
Thanks Pete for putting the video out there, I read all the comments. A lot of know it all blow hearts out there, they don't have a dollar in there pocket but like to spent yours. You done good.
For those that don’t do dump truck, those chains he attached at the beginning of the spread is the secret to spreading. Plus he already dumped half of it out so it’s way easier. My first week of dump trucking I too was spreading on street construction sites. Like am I do it right???
Great job. When you order gravel from the quarry, you never know who they will send. It’s worth it to mark where you want your gravel with little flags and have a landscape box or land plane on hand to fix it in case they dump it in a pile. I’ve seen drivers who could tailgate in reverse in their sleep, and I’ve seen others that make a mess.
There are True experience Drivers who know there equipment and capabilities. Great Job and unreal skills. Stopping that close to a live line Box extended is true knowing ability and skills.
One load of 3/4 stone. Drive on it to work it in. Second load of 3/4 stone drive on it and work it in. Third load of crush and run. That driveway will be like cement. I like the way the owner started this out. Your driver was a legend.
In the areas that are really soft all the time, you need to put down the really big stone first, size of baseballs/softballs that won't sink in, then put the ABC, or 57 stone on top of that.. I learned that the hard way.
Maybe to each his own, but round here tailgating is done in reverse, so the truck’s weight sets the stone rather than the stone fills the voids caused by the truck’s tires.
If this is your residence, this no base driveway will need stone regularly. Needs dug down 8 to 12 inches then 1s & 2s put down. A layer of 304s. Then u can put down your 57s. Roll each layer as u build. Just how I would have did it if I lived here as my residents. Truck driver dud a great job tailgating stone 👍😁
The truck driver layed that rock out nice did u tip him he saved someone alot of time and money thats for sure 50.00 tip would biy the man and his wife descent dinner
Good luck with keeping the gravel from sinking. I've had loads of gravel in my driveway, and it just keeps sinking, and they put a material down before the gravel. I don't know what material because it was before I owned the place he told me, but I can't remember, lol. I have gravel delivered every 2 years
Looks like this place is on a high ridge. So yes I think it will work but if it was me a couple of more loads of to the side would help you tremendously. After it's packed in you will see where to fill in the low spots for sure. Truck driver has people skills and will help you more than most. I subscribed so I can follow you and how it ends up. Thanks for sharing and God Bless🇺🇸🇨🇱
This magic box is a mind reader. I can't believe this showed up on my feed. It remembered me talking about gravelling my driveway last year at this time.
You should geotex then hardcore, pound and then 2 inch to dust and damp pack it hard. Don't forget to drain the slope with culverts high to low slope across the track to stop it getting washed. Put leaf grids up slope.
I am curious where this is at that is a Valley Quarries truck after New Enterprise bought them out. I am from central PA and do some work for New Enterprise also worked for Valley Quarries
Brother..your doing exactly what I wanna do up here in PA. Where did you find you cabin sir...or did you build it..any info you could give me would help immensely.
I spent a few hundred extra $$$ and rented a small roller to go over mine after it was tailgated about 8” deep. Spent a whole weekend spraying water and rolling.
Something like that I use #3 then #57 crush and run I use for concrete jobs. Something else I do is use a block on long driveway so gravel goes only where the wheels drive
this looks nice and the driver is good but for anyone thinking that a single load will cover their driveway... That is a very small layer of 2b. a few passes with a vehicle is just going to press most of that into the dirt and turn into a 2 wheel snowmobile track type imprint.
I cant help but wonder if he’s scraped off the top soil, that is the trick to building gravel roads. You don’t just dump gravel on the ground , it’ll just eat it up. You scratch off the top soil and then gravel into harder dirt
Doing this as summer help, I recall laying out the base earth using a grader, then laying down a base “binder layer” of larger stones, followed by the grader and then rolled, followed by the fill stone, graded and rolled once again, then a layer of sealing tar, rolled one last time…. This maybe over-kill for some, but my dad, as a general contractor and my uncle as the site development contractor, only did things their way….
First off why that gravel on top of mud? Second driver should of chained gate down started to drive then released the gate, I’ve spread thousands of tons of base with a dump truck and blade. That’s just makes it more work
@@georgea6403 I was working for a logging company and the sawmill that we were working for started using it. 80 thousand pounds in a truck load and a few inches of gravel last till we got done
@@mikejohnson5491 ya. Absolutely. It’s like 3,4 hundred dollars a roll that I didn’t want to spend. But it’s about the best thing that I can say. Money well spent.
Who’s talking? That’s a great radio voice. Or a sports announcer. When you go to the pad to look you sound like a radio guy. You missed your calling for sure
Dude...... There is a "Posted No Trespassing" sign on that tree by the road....... Somebody is going to be pissed that you dumped a load of gravel on their private property...........
You must like moving gravel you could’ve took that dump truck drove it right down your driveway with the tailgate slightly open and he’s right about the bass you’re just wasting the stone
This guy is good ... you got lucky to have him deliver that gravel for you, he needs $20.00 extra for doing such a fantastic tailgate job.
Spreading Gravel is an ART experience that makes the perfect fit
You can always tell when a driver has been doing that job for a while and knows his or her truck !!! Love the video!! More please..😁😁😁
That delivery driver certainly was helpful...
Worth his weight in gold...
In a couple of years time, you'll need to do that driveway again...
So keep his number 👍
Also, beautiful place to live ..

He did a hell of a job tailgating that stone. Looks good

And push the stone into the mud with the heavy truck
@@randywells4674 the truck actually stays up on the 7/8 crushed real well, we don't get complaints.
Show us some of your work joe dirty
What part of world you from?
Great driver! He definitely knows how to spread what looks to be 57 size stone.

If it were you, would have had the money for as some suggest 7-8 loads. No . He stayed within budget and improvements were made. Good show.

No culvert

Great Content and Video
Have a Great Day 👍

Looks good. Those two dogs are having a blast running around on your property. Good times! Keep them safe.
Flea tick treatments.
So glad you took care of the off camera paperwork 😜.
Thanks Pete for putting the video out there, I read all the comments.
A lot of know it all blow hearts out there, they don't have a dollar in there pocket but like to spent yours. You done good.
Good tail gateing , but I like how you didn't leave them dogs out of your sights. Good man !

Thats a bad ass drive way it looks cool when its making a road to your cabin.
Nice to work with professional people 👌.

He must have had at least 18 5 19 tons on great job spreading
Professional driver!
He did a great job. 5 more loads for sure
this driver knows what he 'es talking about, if you let him do what he was suggesting it would have saved the tractor work much time.
Great work. What a caring and professional man to have on your side.
That's my dad in law ! Best driver they have !!!
Yeah man, he's awesome! Looking forward to another load soon
The "Mayor" is getting a bit grayer these days.
Great driver. Nice spread. 👍
Definitely
There are True experience Drivers who know there equipment and capabilities. Great Job and unreal skills. Stopping that close to a live line Box extended is true knowing ability and skills.
That rock will never hold up until you solve the slopping and grading issues to keep water from going directly towards the driveway and house.
Driver seemed like a nice guy
I think you'll need more then 2 loads. You'll need 8 inches in the soft stuff and the mud will eat most that up
One load of 3/4 stone. Drive on it to work it in. Second load of 3/4 stone drive on it and work it in.
Third load of crush and run. That driveway will be like cement. I like the way the owner started this out. Your driver was a legend.
What a wonderful and helpful operator.
That Gravel was laid perfectly.
Great driver man!!!!!

I put 4in berm gravel on top of grass about 5 yrs later some 57 blue , never had a fail !
Great video anything to do with dump trucks, heavy equipment I'll watch. 👍👍

Would have liked to see how you got the rest of the stone on the rest of driveway up top near the house
His neighbor has a John deer.
Very nice driveway !
Great job sir
This is Cool. Respect to Host and Channel 👍✌️🇨🇦
I got 40 acres in Gainesville Florida I can't wait to get my driveway done like that
Most dump drivers can't spread stone,fine job!
Awesome job! Looks great! 👌👌

I hope you paid 500 extra it was worth a thousand you took his time keep dogs in house till done

Spreading is like the most fun part other than sitting high

Easiest gravel there is to spread. Plus it’s a waste of washed stone. ABC or crusher run should have been the first thing put on that road
Something like that I use #3 then #57 crush and run I use for concrete jobs. Something else I do is use a block on long driveway so gravel goes only where the wheels drive
He did a hell of a job spreading that material and he only get paid for the Load

☺️. Thanks to his half a million views. He can afford to get a few more loads 😂💰💰

Pro driver
I put 3/8 blue stone on mud 30 years ago its fine, cars run on it. Just keep wetting it down it packs in
There's a material that saves the gravel from sinking into the ground.

@@georgea6403 well I was impressed by the fact that I have seen gravel go away the first time you send a truck over it.
Thats how u do it
BTW......legendary spread 👍
Yea... Yea! Id say yea! Yep, another load yea. Yea that aught a do it. Yea!
Dogs are so cute
New enterprise man I changed all there tires lol 😂
what does one of these loads cost ?
Who’s talking? That’s a great radio voice. Or a sports announcer. When you go to the pad to look you sound like a radio guy. You missed your calling for sure
Ya because it surely isn’t driveway building.
I know damn well you weren’t only haulin 73,280 more like 80,000+
Has it washed away yet
Very nice!
I use to do that for a living and something happen, got old !!!!!
Nothing says I appreciate it like 20 bucks
Dude...... There is a "Posted No Trespassing" sign on that tree by the road....... Somebody is going to be pissed that you dumped a load of gravel on their private property...........
Lmao
You are supposed to put bottom soil on top of the mud then disc it in maybe you wouldn't have needed gravel.
Do you guys have a clue about what to do?
Where did u buy it from..can u say the address or the shop name please
Basic stuff for anyone who's ever driven a bulky.
No road fabric,No base, its going to eventually sink and mud come to the top
You must like moving gravel you could’ve took that dump truck drove it right down your driveway with the tailgate slightly open and he’s right about the bass you’re just wasting the stone
Pert near perfect run of rock
Looks like a cabin outside Pennsboro WV, but doubt that truck made it up that mountain?
Why didn't you pull up to the house and spread it down the driveway.🤷🏽♂️.
you do it your way
I thought we were gonna see some spreader skills here..... not trying to disrespect the old guy though.
Lol.....100 ton would be a good start .....then go from there.
