- Professional dump truck driver makes spreading stone look easy. This 40 year tri-axle dump truck veteran can spread gravel better than anyone I have ever seen!
It's nice when someone takes a little pride in their work, rather than dump and run back to the quarry.
For sure. Makes all the difference really.
Depends what they are being paid for. Im all for pride in work, but I gotta be paid for it.
@@SuperOrcy he's been going the extra mile ever since his kids all want to be doctors.
If a driver does deliveries all the time with the same truck. It’s easy. Not to mention you have to have spreader chains. And most trucks are different. Every driver could do this with practice. Most don’t do deliveries all day.
@@wademills1616 I have seen countless drivers spread stones. It has been my experience that every driver cannot do this... even with practice. I practice playing the drums a lot, but I'll never be Phil Collins :)
I've never seen such dump accuracy. To the inch!
They backed him up to the right spot. Then he just had to raise the box a bit and pop open the gate. Its not hard but there are lots of crap drivers out there that don't even know why there are chains on the end gate.
I can't even do that with a shovel
@@jking4020 yeah hardest part is keeping your speed constant
you must not have been looking
It’s what we do, when you’ve been at it for years and years.
I can’t explain how satisfying this was to watch. I love to see someone who takes pride in their trade !! No matter what the trade is !
I’m glad I’m not the only one, I can watch someone proficient at any trade for hours
Some folks complain about a driver being old and slow but some of them save a lot of time by doing a real quality job. You can dump stone fast but make more work when it comes to spreading it out and leveling it off.
Keep up the good work.
I found an employer who does not care how long it takes for me to do my job. Now I can take pride in my job, make people happy and do the job once properly rather than spinning my wheels.
Honestly, the guy who shorted my hours every paycheck and treated me like garbage ended up being a few loads short on his projects. He even claimed I was a little on the light side, but little did he know just how light. Maybe by about 20 less hours a month should do sir..
I love that you gave credit to that seasoned, experienced & talented truck driver! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
I’ve driven gravel trucks and that is a blend of knowledge, experience, skill and good equipment that is rare to find these days.
I hope you tipped him well! And congrats!
Exactly
One can easily tell that you also put in a lot of effort to make that loop perfect.
i hate loops, i dont know why people like them
Gorgeous work! Experience, pride, and professionalism. The perfect mix to apply the perfect mix. Great work!
Thats a pro right there, I know a guy 85 with 60 yrs and hes not quite that light on the pass. Very well done!
Yep. Back in my rookie year I was asked to spread gravel on a driveway. I didn’t even know this could be done. I thought the chains were for securing the gate if the locks failed.
The man said “can you spread it nice and even?”
Me in my rookie confidence “Absolutely!”
After dumping 4 three foot tall piles he lost his mind.
I’m lucky I didn’t get my ass kicked that day!
“And don’t you ever come back!”
It still rings loudly in my ear today.
Live and learn 😂
Just tell yourself ol boy probably needed the exercise anyways
I just tell them I can't spread it but I'll try. Even though I can spread it. That way there is no high expectation, and they are happy when it's done. I took the chains off my truck so they would be less likely to ask . If you tell them you can spread it, they have to high of expectations expecting you to do all the work. Once the material starts to come out, just drive forward in a low gear, and that spreads it well enough to pretty it up with a machine. Was just doing parking lot/driveway yesterday. Never had any complaints. Most people are just to cheap to rent or hire a machine
You are correct
A driver makes a huge difference in the amount of work you have to do
Props to that driver I've been driving dumb truck for a little over 12yrs and I've seen a lot of drivers with as many years experience as this guy and can't spread that good 🤘🤘
The loop is flawless
You spent more on that drive than I did on a wedding
About $1200?
Are you sure that's something you should be proud of?
@@wyzurd money is just an object, happy isn't. It's not the dollar total.
@@metalsurgeon9196 if money is just an object you won't mind sending me $100 usd. let me know and ill send you my paypal.
The driveway will last longer…
I love how I want to thank that gentleman for his expertise. People don't always appreciate an experienced technician.
That driver is a PROFESSIONAL.
Also helps when the customer makes it doable for the supplier to come in and do the job properly to make it look nice
Some people are at a job for 40 years, and end up with 1 year of experience 40 times.
And on the other hand, you have people like this driver, who have been at it for 40 years and have 40 years of experience to show for it.
That's so nice .....Great Driving!!!
That driveway work will wash away in the second heavy rain rainstorm😊😊😊
Invite that Driver to the wedding. Respect. . . .
There are drivers and then there are steerers. This fellas boys and girls is a driver 👏👏👏
Good job on having the short end and restart almost seamlessly!
Remember; a great truck driver was an amateur once too. Gotta let people mess up to get better
Oh I seequite a few mess up all the time 😂
I know that house... Job actually looks fair before the job, but once done, you could really tell someone has a great bit of pride in their craft. It looks nice !!!
With 40 year experience he better be that good wouldn't expect any less
Speaking of seamless... nice job on the editing Neil.... awesome short and beautiful work as usual.. A Dig Drive DIY Great
Hes good !! Love the pond in the back !!!
That's the difference between a trucker and a driver. Take pride in your work folks. Hopefully they pay this driver well.
Good to see the good driver only got a few stones,on the paving,it was THAT close.
My dad di this once. He doesn't drive a dump truck for a living but hes an otr truck driver but one time he borrowed a dump truck from his work and he did our driveway AND our neighbors who lived in front pf us
Dumper driver is a legend
This is SO great! Love the content...
Need to see the entire video of this.... I love your process and strategies...
Again your driveway projects are the BEST!
That's a very skilled seasoned operator right there.
😎👍
Looks beautiful...crisp and clean...
truer words cannot be said about having a experienced truck driver to deliver your gravel I have had a bad experience in the past by somebody who went to our local church who thought he was a truck driver by trade delivered the truck load to our house open the gate too far and dump all the gravel of one straight line instead of evenly distributing the Gravel throughout my driveway so yes always hire Inexperienced truck driver to drop your gravel
This is what I love doing. It's challenging jobs like this that make it fun. I did a farm last season with a tandem belly dump to get ready for a wedding. It looked amazing until the owner decided to try and tidy us the end of the driveway and a low spot on a bend and screwed them up entirely.
The same for cement truck drivers!
Don't talk pride, take pride on your work!
Impressive accuracy. You can count the pebbles that fell on the pavement without taking your shoes off. I couldn't do that well laying a flower bed for granny with a bag of pebbles.
My God, that driver has skills!
Driver really made your grading job easy.
Our driver makes it look like a motocross track
😂
Dang 😂
Many contract haulers for quarries employ drivers working part time. All they can do is drive the truck and dump the load. Ask them to spread and if they say I'll do my best, you're better off spreading yourself. Getting tones of gravel out of the grass and out of ditches etc is frustrating. Let them dump in small piles down the drive and you can spread and grade from there. Asking the trucking company up front for a driver that can spread has been one that has been met with,"all we do is deliver and dump the pile where you want it" The old days of customer service are "gone".
That dump truck driver totally made that look easy, that or they were just showing off. Either way, they should get a raise
Damn! Great looking job.
Yes he was very good indeed, saved lots of work
Slow n steady wins the race git er done love smart experienced people
You owe that dude lunch.
Very competent driver🎉
😂 I bet he got a bonus back at the shop.😮😮
Sounds to me like you guys better have given him a $100 bill, not for his time or equipment, but for knowing how to spread it without issues or unnecessary communication. Not to mention the time saved vs a rookie driver. Know your worth and don't take less than you're worth, EVER!
dude was very good really looks easy but that's super tough
The 316 was the best part of the whole video
Beautiful farm.... very nice
Tailgating is a dying art. Old boy got skills👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Tailgating is an art. Either you got it or you don’t.
I'm a truck driver for about 10 years now and the last 5 have been on a 10 wheeler dump and doing that is pretty easy its being that accurate with it is the hard part
Right. So you're saying that doing this is pretty hard? :)
@digdrivediy being accurate is hard
It's like shooting a rifle it's doesn't take much too pull the trigger it takes something to be steady enough to hit something
And trusting and knowing what your using is what's more important
The old guy's know how to get it done right!
That ole salt knew how to get it done
Good lookin job hand
That man has mad skillz
Most dumptruck drivers, in on-road and off-road trucks, are like a refrigerator. The light goes out when the door closes
Gotta love an experienced chain screeder
I drive a dump truck and no I don't have 40 years of experience and I can't do what he just did in this video. I'm sure this man gets paid great but I don't get paid by the job. I get paid by the loads. I will spread rock if need be don't get me wrong but when you are an owner operator and have more then one place then you don't have time to take and be precise. As the next customer might not be as happy that you took so long to get there with the load they ordered. I literally was dropping and going for one customer as that's what he wanted. In order to get where he was I had to go into the busiest part of town for every run and he asked why I was late I said in a calmly manner, sir the way I have to go it's really busy with traffic, I get here as fast as I can. He said well I need them faster and he kept on and on so being an owner operator I said well you can take your quarter ton truck and go get the other 5 loads of 22 ton you need of rock. Have a nice day. He did apologized for being rude. I do this because a company I worked for told me that I was in charge of my truck, even though it wasn't my own, they told me if a customer gets rude with you or you don't feel comfortable with what they are requesting, decline the request and bring the load back to the query. I have never had to bring one back. Yet...
slow and steady wins the race
My main pet peeve abt my boss is he is a big proponent of "dump it all off to the side, I'll spread it with the skid steer" instead of letting the driver use his skills to save us some work.
That's weird too because a good truck driver can do a better job than a man on a skidsteer in a fraction of the time.
Gotta love spreading open rock
This is the career field I need to get into
Entry level dump truck driver. Must have 40 years experience.
Yep the right driver can tailgate spread it where you don't even need to make a pass over it with anything. I have had the wrong drivers that dump a third of it in the right in a pipe before they start moving and block the road until you can get a dozer there to push it out.
What they didn't mention is that the home belongs to the owner of the trucking company, and they did an exceptional job for that reason :-)
Nope 🤣
Perfect loop.🎉
Spreading is a rare skill amongst Drivers this type of dump truck operating puts him in equipment operator status like Local 150 operating engineers union Local Countryside Illinois this driver is more than your average Dump truck driver my instinct says that this Driver can run dozers & scrapers & motor graders & pay loaders & backhoes I drove Dump trucks but that was all I ever did I never mastered spreading materials never had the opportunity
fort wayne for the win!!!!
You should have Tipped that Truck Driver a $100 for slagging your driveway❗Most Drivers can't slag, and even fewer, slag that clean. HIS skill level is on Point 👍🏼❗Looks Good!
Good loop 🤙
To bad almost all the old school guys are gone
I've never had a good dump truck driver ever... here's your pile!!
Very nice job brother !!!!!! You should get a lot more jobs !!!!!!❤❤❤❤
You should double chip seal that pad for better longer pad you could went with gold 3/8” chip at top
Just for a wedding!!! Tell me your well off without telling me your well off!!!
That guy ain’t getting paid enough!
Skills to pay the bills
too many people look down on people without a University degree and dont appreciate the skill and time they can save behind what they see as an unskilled job
I used to shoot sand on dirt roads with a belly dump, set cruise at 42 mph open gate 10” and shoulder to shoulder it laid down perfection,,, mile after mile load after load until the job is finished,,, done correctly no need for motor grader!!
Oh that's awesome. I love picturing it.
Slow is smooth, smooth is fast
So right!
Heartwarming!
Made it look easy cuz this equipment's not broken and the dump truck bed doesn't lean to the one side or another well maintained equipment helps
Will add though his years of doing that makes it look really good
The right tool for the job. Take care of your equipment and it will take care of you 😅
@@wayneoakley1832 I wish the mechanics would we're not allowed to work on our s**t
My first job was spreading stones with old dump truck in the yard of the steel mill in canada 👍🏻 skills but once you got it. Its easy
Within a day or two you can be spreading like this. Easily
I'm watching this for an hour waiting for the end then I realize it's a loop
I never thought that just dumping a load of stone and moving it with a skid loader was that hard
It isn't that hard at all. But why would you do all that extra work if the truck can do it for you in a tractor the time?
Refreshed the driveway for an upcoming wedding? This was a lifesaver. Can’t imagine what the guests would have thought of the old one.
Such a sarcastic Sally... :)
i wanna learn this.... down in Florida we just dump it and the skid steer handles the rest
Did he teach you to loop as well ? Super smooth 👍
Looks legit
this is what happens when the client has money. they give them the good truck driver. regular people have to deal with the new guys. but yeah it's a good thing people have money so they can get the premium drivers
Good driver! I've not done much spreading like that. However, as a driver, it isn't my job to do yours, unless contracted to do so. As an equipment operator, more power to the driver. If you are going to do it, be good at it! As a driver that seldom has enough open overhead to do this, it's pretty impressive. A good driver can save you all kinds of time and money, a bad one can cost you plenty. Same can be said for equipment operators.
Practice makes perfect doesn’t mean every truck driver is a bum just mean some guys. I’ve been doing it longer sometimes.
Well isn't that just peachy.
