If your loan is $3,000 a month that’s $100 a day. Just need to make enough to justify the payment. We have a new grapple truck that costs us $1,250 a month and can bring in $1,200 a day, no material cost no dump fees. So it just matters what the payment is vs what it brings in, whether it’s 10k or a million.
Turn right by the blue moose, back to the left, come around 7th street, back up to 3rd street, you'll see CN yard. Then drive down , you'll see it, dump back there. Love it.
Nice rig, I hope at $300k you are getting consistent contracts to cover your cost and make something well to live on. I always appreciate entrepreneurial people and want them to succeed in the most honest and easy way possible. Precisely what we are missing nowadays due to big corporations. Stay safe driver ✌🏽🇺🇲

That’s a beautiful truck. Also it’s hilarious how some doubt the price of this truck…. Bro, a pickup truck costs $105k, don’t bring up semi trucks you bought in the 90s and early 2k prices lol… this was very interesting to watch. Subbed 👊🏾🤘🏾👍🏾
That is a very good video that you put out You are very knowledgeable in your job I pray that new drivers can watch something like this and learn from you
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.
Good loader operators never touch the box. I drive a 379 tandem and also operate a variety of loaders from 644’s-844’s and NEVER hit the box. Just comes with experience and mastery.
You didn't give any specs on your Wolwo(that's from one of the neighbor kids, I thought it was funny) or the box. You didn't talk about the tranny, engine, gearing or what you thought of the ride & handling? This is a 2024 model? Did you install the CB or was that a Volvo option? Maybe you could mention that stuff in your next video & Thanks!
I watched many owner operators with awsome expensive rigs go broke in a very short time. Unless you are hauling gold at a incredible price, buy a cheaper truck. I ownd a trailer leasing co and was the president of a truck line.
I bet your 70k was once over 150k and somebody brought it and sold it when it got old or w/e. Don’t be a hater because you don’t got his rig. And how do you know what his rate is?
Dump trucks there don't have a trailer? Here in Finland we use rigid dump trucks similar to this but they also tow a trailer with a second dump bed. The weights they haul is crazy, 76 metric ton GVWR.
@@porcomalo I'd love to try driving a cassette combination, i've only driven tipper trucks like in the video. In summer i drove a yellow Scania for a while, payload was just ~16 tons.
I drive a PACCAR K/W T-880, & I hate where they put the air brakes. It's down by where you'd set your coffee cups. What an asinine ideal. Every truck that I've ever driven has always had the brakes set up high on the dash, like you have, easy & a more natural movement for the driver. Nice vid. thx for sharing. Drive safe. 🤠🤠
Hopefully you get good contracts for the season. When doing my trucking I have talked to older trucker/operator and they said it’s not worth it because of the costs running the trucks and if you gets old doin it no benefits or whatsoever for yourself. Nice rig though all the best
8.5 hours is a short day. How do you make any money running such a short amount of time? Just curious ive been driving for 10 years and ive done OTR and now run LTL and we never run less then 10 hours.
@300k there young feller, you had better have alot of work and hope for zero break downs, i've seen many owner operators go down fast, little things like, payments need to be paid even if not working, blown engines, rearends, fuel, cleaning, permits, oh ya insurance, would have bought a 75-100k, for good top end used, worked from there, but hey what do i know, oh ya did i mention i was a highway supervisor for 30 years now
If you want your cb radio to work better and last longer, fix the antenna light from flashing by adjusting the SWR of your cb antenna or antennas if your running duals. Every time it flashes, your SWR is over 3:1 which is no good. An SWR of 1:1 is ideal but not really achievable on a truck but if you can get it down to 1.5:1 or 2.0:1 you'll be better off.

You don’t wanna piss off the loader operator by sitting too far away. Seen a few grumpy buggers in my day. In construction season pit loaders are busy boys.
So at what point do you start adding drop axles? Have you run all three drops yet? Keep up the good work, first video I have watched of yours. Nice rig by the way! 👍🤠
you didnt talk about your hourly rate.. is it different for different things and what to look out for and whats a good thing to look for in a job, do you use a job handler ( there s term for them, i just cant think of them right now) some dispatch service to keep you busy during the day? Im a retired foundation guy and thinking of buying a truck but i hear its so cut throat out there that your practically driving for fuel...300k truck , then insurance and being bonded , and then fuel and maintainece... so you need to be billing ( im guessing) 500 to 1500 a day ?

Got off kinda lite,New Century M-100 heavy wrecker on a twin steer W9 Kenworth worth ready for this $ 1.4 million dollars. You could buy 3 of those and have some change for the strip joint if so inclined. But they are furnished with but nothing but the best.
So i'm not familiar with american veicles, the smaller tires you put them down when you are loaded? and if so the desing is very different from what i've seen, what are the benefits?

love All these videos seems like this is something new to a lot of drivers, I had my fist Slam bang, 10 wheeler with trlr in 1981 and weve had the supper tens in NV for the last 15 years or more, always a well known way to make steady revanew.
thanks for your comment. Yes seems like people are enjoying it!
Got off kinda lite,New Century M-100 heavy wrecker on a twin steer W9 Kenworth worth ready for this $ 1.4 million dollars. You could buy 3 of those and have some change for the strip joint if so inclined. But they are furnished with but nothing but the best.
I hope you don't mind me asking? What is the income for a day like that? Owning your own truck in all!
whats crazy is i just saw this truck on friday coming through Eagan
As an Aussie it’s so strange seeing an AM set being used. Aus has almost exclusively been UHF for at least 30yrs now.
Great video! Are you interested in testing vehicle lighting stuff from Suparee? I mean sponsorship.
Potentially. Please send business inquires to:

Looking forward to hear from you.
I had a buddy with a Mack truck like that he got hit by a train I said how was it like getting hooked by a bull
That truck is a five yr investment driving alone. After that, you can sell it for 100k or more. That's the game.
Everyone commenting on costs and making money, he did say 24 Hour Shift. Working harder solves alot of problems.
agreed!
Why are those 3 axles with smaller wheels used for?
Greetings from Maine! Nice truck you have there. Sounds like an automatic. Is it as good with fuel mileage or better than manuel?
for dump trucking i do prefer automatic, yes the truck is auto get about 5.8-6mpg average
Great video, thanks!
Good stuff.
I'm guessing the payment on that truck is close to $3000 a month for ten years.
He can make that payment after 3-6 days of work though….
@@MillerVanDotTV That's good.
So i'm not familiar with american veicles, the smaller tires you put them down when you are loaded? and if so the desing is very different from what i've seen, what are the benefits?
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).
Just curious may I ask what your Earnings where per load for sand etc. and time for each delivery
0:15 had me accidentally busting a nut. Lol that is beautiful truck.
Do you generally get paid tonnage or hourly when working on those large projects?
answered your questions on the live!
Oooohhh luxury comes in a little heavy. Maybe cut some fancy out and get 21.5 or since we’re “luxury” put an aluminum bed on there and get 23 and you won’t have to haul any big rock
thanks for the tip
How many tons will that hold and how long is the bed?
how do you know what channel you’re supposed to be on with the CB
