That's a sweet looking truck with all those Alcoa's!! Things have changed, your missing a pedal on the floor! LOL 8) I was so used to shifting 12 up and down I could do it in my sleep, I did some days LOL. I can't believe how smooth the new ones run with the auto!

    I wouldn’t air the bags/bellows down when loading to make the truck shorter. Let those machines reach and even beat that board up if you have to. You don’t want to stress your bags trying to air up and pick the load up. They are also made to compensate for the weight difference around the body.

      That's exactly what I would do. Inflated bellows can explode when taking a big heavy load when it's dumped fast. He's doing the right thing. Heavy haulers: like, excavator, wheel loader, big dynamos that are loaded on a trailer with a crane: ALL drivers air down their bellows. If the bellows can't pump it up: you're overweight. Bellows should be able to take the load.

    I've done asphalt before. Never again. I hated it. Sand, gravel, dirt, asphalt CHUNKS I gladly did but I never wanna deal with asphalt if I ever stop driving Semi's and go back to Class B Dumpers (or dump trailer semi work).

    I deliver fuel to many of construction sites, or pits, or whoever needs it. Funny watching this video , I am based out of Duluth. I have delivered diesel to veit there in that CN yard. Funny how I randomly found your video and I recognize so many of the places you were! I probably have passed by ya on the road!

    As an Aussie it’s so strange seeing an AM set being used. Aus has almost exclusively been UHF for at least 30yrs now.

    I guess transfers are a thing of the past and big boxes with pusher axles took their place, I've only heard of one fatality where someone walked between a transfer thinking it was a ten wheeler.

    I'm guessing the payment on that truck is close to $3000 a month for ten years.

    The truck needs more axles. There is still room for two or three axles in the middle.

    I was going to bust your balls about driving a BMW. My mechanics shop owner has a BMW too. Drivers who tailgate me or cut me off are usually bmws. My wife had dump trucks years ago. Used to call them dirt dummies. Rates were crap back then,hopefully they are better now.

    That luxury dump truck must be around the same price as the Lucid Air Saphire, which is the fastest EV.

    Nice truck, ref the 3 smaller wheels, are they on lift axles? Do you use them to reduce your axle weight? At what weight would have to use all 3?

    Really it’s nice truck but l wasn’t expecting dump truck 300k I thought around 95,000 I think mostly dump trucks only big companies owned because owner operators cannot afford to buy newer or used haif price. So any thanks for give us info and enjoy your beautiful dump truck I hope you will share us more details bye for now
