  • An inside look at how those big wood chip trucks are emptied when they get to the mill. This footage was recorded at the Celgar mill, near Castlegar, in December of 2009.

    Thank you for a great video!! I've seen them tip from a distance, not up close.. almost got to see a portable tipper in action a few times, but they we're too slow at getting set up, I had to get going..
    Oregon State Highway 6 Through the coast range in 1996.. dug out, rebuilt it... They filled all the deep slides with treated chips. Wed head up at 7pm, no chip pile, by 7am there'd be a huge pile, day shift dump trucks hauled the chips up to fill the holes we cleaned up at night.

      Iron Horseman I was on a test/evaluation run from Castlegar to Revelstoke and back for Chambers when I shot this video. The company driver who was evaluating me actually talked me out of hiring on with them. He made the company sound so bad, that I decided not to pursue employment with them. That, and the townsfolk basically told my wife (she stayed in town while I did the run) "Don't let your husband work for them!"Don't know - maybe they're a good outfit; I'll never know.

  • @ThePaulgregg
    @ThePaulgregg 12 років тому

    We have to keep the equipment as light as possible,but strong enough to carry as much payload a is legally allowed. The cargo weight is heavier than the equipment. Also the loads sometimes stick especially in the winter. A hydraulic dump would be way too heavy and probably fall over when dumping. We do sometimes use " Self Unloaders" in some situations. These flat floor trailers have a moving hydraulic floor that walk the payload off. I've been doing this nearly 20 years now.

    • @kimchiman1000
      @kimchiman1000  5 років тому

      Just a bar across the back of the rear trailer. Gravity does the rest. The front trailer dumps right through the rear trailer. I guess it's cheaper than a walking push wall. Things like that usually come down to whatever is considered cost effective.

    Just gonna throw in a comment to see who says what...
    I recorded this video when trying out for Danny Chambers Trucking. I had to make a run from Castlegar to Revelstoke and back. The company driver who was my evaluator/tester (not sure what to call it) basically talked me out of the job while we were on the road there and back. He was quitting in two months.
    It was weird - he was trying to make it out like they are a good outfit to work for, all while he's telling me about...

    The lost hour matters also, because they don't pay by the mile, but by the run. And they don't pay for runs they send you out on where you can't pick up any chips; at least that's how it was told to me by Mr. Company Driver.

    Heard a story of a guy leaving truck running dumping garbage. It was an old mechanical engine so no automatic shutdown if it looses oil pressure. It wasn't running when it came back down I gather :-) I watched a reefer engine trying to run on its side after guy flopped it. It was a tuff lil bastard, ran violently for 3 min before it finally pooed the bed.

    So, he wouldn't come out and tell me that he hated working there; only that he was 'moving on'. But before the run was over, I knew there was no way I'd work for them.

    So, for my part, I have nothing to say from experience with them, but it was enough to spook me so I figured I was better off writing off the hotel, fuel and meal costs off, and chalk it up as a nice winter trip with the missus to Castlegar for a couple of days.

    One of the reasons I didn't take that job is because the driver told me (he probably wasn't supposed to tell me, lol) that if you get sent away from a mill empty because they're out of chips, you don't get paid for your trip, even though the company sent you there.
    I understand that the company has too run a pretty tight ship to make a profit, etc, but after I crunched the numbers, I figured I couldn't afford to drive for them, unfortunately.

    Even the company driver I was with told me (off camera) that he'd be quitting in a couple of months, and that they have a hard time retaining drivers (I've noticed they're almost always advertising for new drivers) because they don't pay well, at least not what the job is worth. Money's pretty tight all around, I guess.
