I built up a sizable portfolio of work I had done Chris, got me tonnes of work from it but youtube is a game changer as far as showing your potential customers what you can do.., and boy your work speaks for itself!
Quarry boss: Sorry man. We're short handed today. We'll load you as soon as we can. Chris: Jumps down from the truck and slides right into the CAT seat.
Honestly man, after two 11 hours days, all by yourself (!), you find the time and energy to edit great vids. 😳 How you do it ? Never sleep ? Incredible ! All I can say is, well, thank you for taking us along. So appreciated !
Pass on all the Well Wishes to John on a speedy recovery for us Chris. I know he never worries about you out there working your butt off for the Co. He can rest assure you have it all covered. I've seen over the years, you can be a One Man Crew if need be. That's hard to find these days....*SALUTE*
Takes an artist to grade like that with a mini. I'm a plumber and do a lot of water and drain lines. Many hours on a machine...but that finish on that french drain from a mini is out friggin standing. I'd hire you for more work in a heartbeat.
Damn, Chris, you never fail to amaze me! I've figured it out, though. Your left eye is calculated, vertically in inches and fractions while your right eye is calculated in tenths and hundredths of an inch horizontally. Keep up the good work, you're an inspiration to all of us who wish we could live life over as a heavy equipment operator!!
Winston would be jealous of the thousands of us who get to ride along with you in the dump truck. It's a pleasure watching you move earth and stone with the various machines, creating beauty and function so efficiently. Quelle artiste! Thanks for the videos.
Got to love a customer who won’t let you leave! That’s a lot of work in just 2 days for one person. Waiting to see John “walking and working “ around you as you run the equipment.
A customer who won't let you leave is not always a good thing, especially when you have other jobs scheduled. But we all get that one customer that just doesn't understand that other folks are paying for a slice of our time too. You hate to put them off or worse yet, tell them no but sometimes you just have to do that to keep the jobs flowing.
Sure do enjoy going along with Chris on his jobs.. quite interesting, and appreciate him taking the extra time to do the video work. And I think it is "work" too. tks.
You Have what my daddy called Gumption! I inherited it from him and have been blessed to understand so many things. Thanks Chris for your ethic as well.
Time like this you realize how important employees are... John did a lot of the grunt work that you don't normally see. Nice job Chris, looks great as normal.
Actually Chris is the employee and John is the boss, but he knows where Chris is most valuable and not too proud to grunt. Smart man. Although he should find another Timmy for Chris and stay in the truck seat himself. Grunt work is harder at his age is my guess since I am 67 now. I slowed down a lot in my late forties with heart/lung issues. Wished I could have kept going longer but such is life.
I had never seen fill like this used before I started watching your UA-cam channel. Wet it down, roll it in, and you almost have concrete. Impressive job!
No kidding..just had 12 yards delivered to the farm and ended up dumping/spreading myself, the driver had know idea what those chains were for.. no kidding
Chris you have work because you know how to do right the first time and it was a good thing you had rif raft left over and your spreading of the gravel alot better then having piles👍
Nothing like being out on your Deerstand listening to the birds in the QUIET and then all of a sudden.... bang bang bang bang... 24 yard dump truck dumping something just right on the other side of the woods.... PRICELESS! 👏🏽👍🏼☺️
The job have you very good making and you have to see what all is improved and you make it. I think a day where you can work with a machine is a good day for you. And whit all you perfect. This video a super report that you got work, respect. 🇦🇹
Pride, and Quality Work, always makes a Happy Customer !! And just like this job , always leads into more work !! Everything turned out Great as always Chris, I know that's what I always say but, it's true !! Would work along side of you any day of the week !! Have a Great Evening, And On too the Next.....
Man if that was a "typical day" (or two) of work for me, I could do it all day every day. It sure beats sitting in an office and in front of a computer all day. If I could go back in time 40+ years I would have chosen your career path. It has nothing to do with the salary or how much you get paid and everything to do with enjoying what you are doing. It's also not about being able to run/operate machinery, but also the manual labor that is sometimes (many times) involved. I just love being outside and working hard. At the end of the day you can look back at what you have done and be proud of it.
Pretty good job you did here “Dump Truck Driver” 🤣😂🤭 I know you’ll like that..!!! ✅ That’s a pretty big rock quarry there, reminds me of the one off of I-40 near RDU airport. 🤷🏻♂️ 😎👍
The Magician is at work....haven’t checked in for awhile....but goodness....love and appreciate how efficient you do things..... and how your product is A+!!!! Product means end result! Enjoy watching you!
Looks like the dump truck bed's about wore out at the back lip. No wonder after all the work it's done, especially with all the rock at the veterinary hospital job.
My parents are both from NC. When I was a kid (a very long time ago) we would visit my Grandma in Durham and we always had to make a trip down to the ballpark to get the best redskin chili dogs in the world. After all these years, I can still taste them (in my mind).
As a professional truck driver,a good chili dog is hard to pass up on,hope you got a cold RC Cola to wash it down!! Prayers to your uncle on a speedy recovery!!
I Did A Good Job And Got More Work! That sure as hell trumps.., I Did A Lousy Job And Got No Work. The videos speak for themselves Chris, I don't think anyone can poke a hole in your integrity as being anything less than a good contractor /worker.
Yup. Has some areas where I had to pay extra for them to make more trips with single axle truck due to overhead clearance issues, but still worth the extra money to save time by having it spread. Depends on the distance to the quarry. Sadly even the single axle guys had to be taught to tailgate the gravel instead of pile it. Don't know how you can be a dump truck driver without knowing how to tailgate forward or backward. Without that skill you are just a driver not a dump truck driver. Sad.
As the old saying goes, if you want the job done properly you best employ the best, the customer obviously recognised Chris as the best upon this task, 👍👍👍.
I have been in a hundred different quarries and they are all the same. Pot holes in the driveway! You would think that they would fix their own driveways! It isn't like they don't have the product to accomplish the task. Great job on the extra work project. You make it look so easy. But I know for a fact that is all skill.
Hey Chris !! Can't ask for a better Advertisement for your Business than ""WORD OF MOUTH"" as your Customer was well pleased with your work & Guarantee that they will pass on any more work your way from ALL that see what you did for them !!! How's John doing ?? Hope ALL is well with him !!! Nice,, neat work that you did & ""KEEP IT SAFE "" !!! Give ""WINSTON"" an extra treat for this 1 !!! HAHA
customer knew great work when he saw it with the french drain job. always bonus when customer throws you more work, isnt haggling over price. you like energizer bunny in the taki.. zoom zoom zipping everywhere. makes me dread getting in our slow ass molasses bobcat 763 single speed ;p
One man team again brother, they trying to work you Chris! I know you got this though, you work hard and put out quality my friend! Stay safe brother! 👌🏻👍🏻👍🏻 oh I’m still enjoying my shirts my friend, thanks!
Pad is looking good, dam work looks good too Chris! Yeah I did a little truck driving and it sucks being on the road and the butt time! lol 😂 good job brother! 👌🏻👍🏻👍🏻
They call that flume in the limestone quarry here ..it packs and really sets up almost like concrete. We once spread some lightly on cleared timber ground. ,it's like a slow disolving lime. Adjusts the PH of the ground.
That’s awesome. Repeat customers wanting more work done is one of the highest compliments.
Things you like to see - a 53 minute long LetsDig 18 video! 👌🏻
I built up a sizable portfolio of work I had done Chris, got me tonnes of work from it but youtube is a game changer as far as showing your potential customers what you can do.., and boy your work speaks for itself!
Hope Uncle John is recovering well…sending prayers and well wishes.
I hope the excavator is recovering well...sending prayers and well wishes.
The quarry visits are a good addition to your already stellar episodes.
Something different
👍
Trouble is with going to get your own loads from the quarry is that you can't even complain about the truck driver. :)
Quarry boss: Sorry man. We're short handed today. We'll load you as soon as we can.
Chris: Jumps down from the truck and slides right into the CAT seat.
@@kellyredinger5974 He very well could do it ! 🤣🤣🤣
Yeah you gotta look into a mirror and yell at yourself. 😆
Very smart man 👨
One of those cases where they say let your work speak for itself. And in this case, the customer recognized quality work and it got you more jobs.
shows the quality of work when the customer asks for more too be done. tell John we all said HI and hoping he is felling better.
Honestly man, after two 11 hours days, all by yourself (!), you find the time and energy to edit great vids. 😳
How you do it ? Never sleep ? Incredible !
All I can say is, well, thank you for taking us along. So appreciated !
I only get about 5- 6 hours of sleep a night lol
Good work never goes unnoticed. That's how to build a business! Hope John's recovery is going well.
Pass on all the Well Wishes to John on a speedy recovery for us Chris.
I know he never worries about you out there working your butt off for the Co. He can rest assure you have it all covered. I've seen over the years, you can be a One Man Crew if need be. That's hard to find these days....*SALUTE*
Chris, when you’re honest and work hard with no BS it pays off with more work. Thanks for sharing. Kevin
Enjoy riding along with you at the quarry. Now we get to see what John sees all the time.
It really annoyed me at 13:20 when the loader operator didn't honk for him to stop 🥴
Congratulations. I am glad people recognize you and great work you do.
Takes an artist to grade like that with a mini. I'm a plumber and do a lot of water and drain lines. Many hours on a machine...but that finish on that french drain from a mini is out friggin standing. I'd hire you for more work in a heartbeat.

Your skill is up there with the best of plant operators I have always been impressed with all your work.
Its always good to have repeat paying customers and your skill and detail shows.
Always makes it look so easy! No wasted movements and time, just one of the best,,,,
Your customer has a beautiful piece of land there.
Sure do enjoy going along with Chris on his jobs.. quite interesting, and appreciate him taking the extra time to do the video work. And I think it is "work" too. tks.
Good work always begets more work. You'll never go hungry.
You Have what my daddy called Gumption! I inherited it from him and have been blessed to understand so many things. Thanks Chris for your ethic as well.
Those camera shot of the bucket of the front end loader sure shows how big they are. :) Nice job.
I was thinking something like 7-10,000# a bucketful. Yuge!
Time like this you realize how important employees are... John did a lot of the grunt work that you don't normally see. Nice job Chris, looks great as normal.

Said it many times 18 is a freaking one man crew!
Thanks for the quarry tour! You do great work! Thanks, Ron...
I had never seen fill like this used before I started watching your UA-cam channel. Wet it down, roll it in, and you almost have concrete. Impressive job!
Chris, great job on spreading your loads. So many dump truck drivers can't even do it any more!
No kidding..just had 12 yards delivered to the farm and ended up dumping/spreading myself, the driver had know idea what those chains were for.. no kidding
Enjoy your videos from Park City Utah. You just go around making America Beautiful again.
Wow just another fantastic job you did…..your quality level is tops and that’s why people want you to do their work……
You just got to respect a man that can handle a gas station chili dog. My GERD bows to you.
A little extra time and care goes a long way with most, Good job and congratulations for the repeat business!
The standard of work you do in just one day!
Others can do a bigger job but will never ever equal to your quality of work.
nice job chris hope john gets better soon ! waiting to see your 220 back in action!!
Hope John is recovering well. Speedy recovery.
What happened to John?? Workmens comp??
@@stephencarlson1160 He had surgery.
Yes ,speed recovery john
Its tough being a one man show Great job as always Thanks for sharing Chris 👍
When you're good you just can't hold them back. Great job as usual Chris.
Pretty amazing how much work you get done AND still get a lot of different camera angles. Your feet must never stop moving!
Chris you have work because you know how to do right the first time and it was a good thing you had rif raft left over and your spreading of the gravel alot better then having piles👍
Truck Driving is a very hard job.I wouldn't want it.
Bless all those who do that kind of work. Your very important 👏, Thank you,,
Nothing like being out on your Deerstand listening to the birds in the QUIET and then all of a sudden.... bang bang bang bang... 24 yard dump truck dumping something just right on the other side of the woods.... PRICELESS! 👏🏽👍🏼☺️
Appreciate you showing the quarry. Pretty cool.
Pretty place for a home. Getting better each job you do.
Great video 👍👍 Good to see a little paint scratched off the new mini.
The job have you very good making and you have to see what all is improved and you make it. I think a day where you can work with a machine is a good day for you. And whit all you perfect. This video a super report that you got work, respect. 🇦🇹
Thanks Chris, for the ride along to the quarry. Cool to see the supply side. We are keeping your Uncle John in our prayers. And you too!
Just look. At you getting all that Fresh Fill right out of the plant, and everybody else has too go get that old stuff with the weeds. 🤣🤣
Pride, and Quality Work, always makes a Happy Customer !! And just like this job , always leads into more work !! Everything turned out Great as always Chris, I know that's what I always say but, it's true !! Would work along side of you any day of the week !! Have a Great Evening, And On too the Next.....
I think the new Mini was perfect for this job
Perfect drop spread on the pond dam Chris .
I watch different job in different channel same as you doing, but the quality of your work is lot more better
Ol skim coat on drive huh. 3 loads later lol. Man i love how ur customer's don't wanna cut corners. Ur work is top notch

Nice long upload. Always wondered what the places look like where you get your material. Such a scenic area where you work. Wishes to John.
Pretty good job you did here “Dump Truck Driver” 🤣😂🤭 I know you’ll like that..!!! ✅
That’s a pretty big rock quarry there, reminds me of the one off of I-40 near RDU airport. 🤷🏻♂️ 😎👍
Every job gets you that much closer to paying the reoair bill for the two (one) down equip.😃
Wow I'm hungry that chili dog looked good. You were a one man band on this job and played to perfection.
Your work speaks for you excellent work Chris
Thank You Again, Chris for letting us watch.
Well, the Little Red Tool box's bucket has definitely lost some paint, and the tracks are dirty. Job looks good, Chris.
Looks like the tail end of the dump truck needs a little welding repairs to it.
The Magician is at work....haven’t checked in for awhile....but goodness....love and appreciate how efficient you do things..... and how your product is A+!!!! Product means end result! Enjoy watching you!
Chris you got a tan, red one looks very good.
Another beautiful job well done.
Hi chris you are superb witb that skidsteer i really enjoy watching your works keep it comingmy friend
Darn that looks good I love it
Looks like the dump truck bed's about wore out at the back lip. No wonder after all the work it's done, especially with all the rock at the veterinary hospital job.
I'm not certain but they may have old conveyer belts in the bottom to minimize dents from oversized rocks.
It's a liner
Your BEST VIDEO. No lengthy shots but pieces of your activity thru the day. kudos
When I lived in Florida I worked at lime Rock mine we ran 880s and 888s cats funny single axle hauled more than duel axle
@23:10 That's a really big quarry there.
My parents are both from NC. When I was a kid (a very long time ago) we would visit my Grandma in Durham and we always had to make a trip down to the ballpark to get the best redskin chili dogs in the world. After all these years, I can still taste them (in my mind).
I just love that skidsteer and the way you handle it.
Once again, beautiful work. Not surprised that the owner gave you more work. Would be very surprised if there wasn't something else later! ;-P
As a professional truck driver,a good chili dog is hard to pass up on,hope you got a cold RC Cola to wash it down!! Prayers to your uncle on a speedy recovery!!
I Did A Good Job And Got More Work!
That sure as hell trumps.., I Did A Lousy Job And Got No Work. The videos speak for themselves Chris, I don't think anyone can poke a hole in your integrity as being anything less than a good contractor /worker.
Our best wishes to John for his recovery. This is a beautiful area that you did a great job adding to & correcting. Sure do enjoy your vids!!
👍👏💯👌
And why wouldn't you get more work. You always do a bloody good job. Well done.
Oh Chris, not a gut bomb, It may be just as well that you are doing this job by yourself!!! LOL I learn so much form watching you. You Rock!!
Spreading gravel where there are no power lines or tree limbs looks doable! Haulers in my neck of the woods would be envious.
Yup. Has some areas where I had to pay extra for them to make more trips with single axle truck due to overhead clearance issues, but still worth the extra money to save time by having it spread. Depends on the distance to the quarry. Sadly even the single axle guys had to be taught to tailgate the gravel instead of pile it. Don't know how you can be a dump truck driver without knowing how to tailgate forward or backward. Without that skill you are just a driver not a dump truck driver. Sad.
You worked you butt off today. Im wore out watching you you are one hard working man Chris. Keep up the good work
As the old saying goes, if you want the job done properly you best employ the best, the customer obviously recognised Chris as the best upon this task, 👍👍👍.
Now that is brilliant 😊
Looked like some beautiful workin weather days.
I have been in a hundred different quarries and they are all the same. Pot holes in the driveway! You would think that they would fix their own driveways! It isn't like they don't have the product to accomplish the task. Great job on the extra work project. You make it look so easy. But I know for a fact that is all skill.
got to love the "since your here....... would you do X, Y, and Z?"
I have heard while you here. We have done the same things to others.
Hey Chris !! Can't ask for a better Advertisement for your Business than ""WORD OF MOUTH"" as your Customer was well pleased with your work & Guarantee that they will pass on any more work your way from ALL that see what you did for them !!!
