"Great big fuckin' moose there, you can't miss it" LOL
those old foreman guys always have something funny to say 😆
That guy's instruction was annoying.
@klyddkross nah you just have no sense of humor
Lol...typical site boss. Size 2 hat and size 13 shoe..lol
"Just go this way and take a left, then go that way and go right. Cross the tracks twice and vere left. Go right at this place, left at that place, veer right and you are there. Real easy. You can't miss it." lol
😂😂
That Volvo is slick!!! Such an overbuilt and capable truck.
Thanks!
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 ✌🏽🇺🇲
thank you for the kind words
Nice to finally see a triaxle driver not tailgating in the left lane doing 87 mph and cutting people off In and out of the lanes.
quit calling me out
its a 5 axle
I’m guessing you live in Virginia too. 😂
@@justinstamper6219 so you got the joke
Can you do a video about the dump truck business? Everything from buying a truck to finding customers.
Where do you live?
I've been retired for about 20 years. I used to haul material to feed a cement plant, the last few years part time. KW cab over with a 34' dump, w/R permit. 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've done some 2 man long/wide/heavy OTR since I retired, still no auto though. Very nice, thanks for the ride!! 8) --gary
thanks for commenting! yea i still enjoy manual haha
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 👊🏾🤘🏾👍🏾
Thanks, appreciate the kind words!
My 2024 Ford F600 hooklift was $145k. $300k for a new dump truck is not as outrageous as most people think. Everything is expensive.
What a Beautiful Rig! I would be Crapping my pants every time that Loader got next to it!
If he paid 300,000 for this one…..I have one for sale😉
Just a little click bait but the price isnt far off. If I had to guess brand new its $275k
@@OneShot_GAdd tax and it 300k
I was in the dump truck business until president Bush put me out of business in 2008…..
@@2010bigfathen so very sorry for you
It’s not a “Luxury Dump Truck” without a nice sleeper.
sort of agree... but they don't make dump trucks with sleepers
@@lifewithhelge I actually seen a dump truck recently at the west coast with the smallest sleeper you can get.
@@lifewithhelge is the all of USA? Im aussie and we have a lot with sleepers still. But assume US does less away work for dumpers
@@audoinxr6372 he's in canada 😂
I bet Western Star would make you one here in Canada if you wanted.
You are on the ball - hence the heads up on new loads ! Excellent - - -
Wow, old fashion directions, turn at the Moose Lodge, you know its the Moose Lodge, there is a big Moose out front!!! How funny
“Great big **fuckin** Moose” 🤣😂 5:33
Love the foreman directions ! Good guy on the work site -
That truck is beautiful, and a work horse! Congratulations!
thanks!
@@lifewithhelge you deserve it!
Good video - thanks .
That’s the best truck I’ve ever seen ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤😊😊😊😊
thank you! they do look pretty good 🤩
Idk what it is about dump trucks but I saw a dozen of them brand new probably 2024 working through the target parking lot and they were beautiful
that’s awesome, glad to hear about other fellow truckers
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. 🤠🤠
That's a nice truck!
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!
Ill be doing a a separate video all that info
Rhode Island Saying injoy your new Ride 😊😊
thank you sir !
beautiful truck
Nice looking truck!
Thanks 👍
Awesome truck ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
All the lift axles are confusing for an Aussie. 😄
We have maybe 1 and thats it. But our tippers/dumpers nearly always have trailers too
You don't have 50 different countries to deal with like the US does.
At our quarries, the drivers are never allowed to exit their truck until leaving the exit gate.
Bob Nuss has a truck museum in Rochester, his open house is worth the trip.
Beautiful Truck!
The algorithm sent me.
That is a gorgeous truck!!!
thanks!
my 70k truck does the exact same for the same rate as that
that's awesome man!
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.
thanks for the tips!
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.
Maaaaan I would touch no dirt with that truck lol
Beautiful truck, take a picture. They don’t stay that way long.
For sure!
Nice truck good luck
On the ball , ready to go , set up to work ! Early - good attitude , etc . Be cool - work hard -
Be ready early ! FN A
Bro was workin in my hometown I can spot that moose lake on ramp from a mile away and London road I bet you have fun on that hopefully you didn’t have to drive on that all day
it was a nice work day up there in duluth!
Very professional and well spoken. New subscriber.
Welcome aboard!
@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
thanks for your comment!
Good stuff.
I'm guessing the payment on that truck is close to $3000 a month for ten years.
Great video! Are you interested in testing vehicle lighting stuff from Suparee? I mean sponsorship.
Potentially. Please send business inquires to:
inquireoleg@gmail.com
Looking forward to hear from you.
Nice truck 👍
Thanks 👍
Thats a neat looking truck, is it the 16 litre?
Nice truck bud!
thank you!
Love the truck. Cool video. How many trucks do you run?
What kind of weight can you haul with 4 drop axels ? When I drove a triaxle in ont we could only be 40,000kg max
about 19.5 tons
@@lifewithhelge Yes pretty close to here then ,
Man y'all are nice. If I don't back up at a perfect 90 i get told to fix it or fuck off.
sometimes it is like that sir
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 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 luxury dump truck must be around the same price as the Lucid Air Saphire, which is the fastest EV.
How do you get loads for a dump dropping cards off at companys or brokers or word of mouth. thinking about buying a dump trailer for my semi cuz I put a Wet Kit on it so was just Curious>?
short answer: Contractors and Brokers in your area
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?
as soon as i get loaded I have to drop my axles
Do you generally get paid tonnage or hourly when working on those large projects?
answered your questions on the live!
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.
yikes!
Can you please explain why would you need the extra axles Is there roads or laws which requires you to have extra axles ??
Great question. Yes each state has its own bridge laws which effect your total legal gross vehicle weight. In Minnesota 6axles gets you the most gvw and still being able to get into city streets and all. there are also 7axle but they are rare for now
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!
probably did pass you, i saw a few fuel trucks there
Nice rig I take this is Canada
Are you having any issues with the air ride? I wonder how it would do here in Seattle.
not as of yet, air ride still good!
Minnesota 🤝
How many tons you haul? What are the work months? Or do you work all year?
19.5 tons. 8 months or so are busy
Beautiful rig... nice 2 c a volvo dump truck... how long have u been trucking
thanks! 9 years
@@lifewithhelge congrats ...just luv d truck... but when u looked into this did u consider buying a petey or Kenny dump truck...
Man... this is a big dog.. nice truck keep it nice...
doing the best i can sir, thanks for your comment
Do you get paid by the load or hour? You had to sit for quite a while for the driveway project.
that specific project was paid by the load
I love my vhd. Definitely doesn't look as clean as yours but nevertheless, it's a solid truck.
Bro what do you use to record? I’m looking forward into vlogging and recording as well
just my iphone, tripod and a clamp mount. Check out the description for the links on products i use 🙂
@@lifewithhelge thank you
sorry im going to need more of these videos
Sucks other states can’t can’t load like we do in Michigan I haul 33 just in my lead and another 19 in the pup
that's awesome!
What's your gross weight with that truck with all them drop axles
GVW is registered at 69,000. each states has its own regulations and bridge laws
“Big fucking moos” 😂😂😂
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 much revenue did the truck generate that first day with the sand and the rock? I haul Milk in Tillamook Oregon and have a colleague that owns a dump truck, and he like to talk shop quite a bit, but he has done so many different types of jobs with it, its hard to understand exactly what He Generates.
nice to see you in the live!
What are the six smaller wheels for that are not on the ground?
answered your question in the LIVE :)
@@lifewithhelge what live?
How do you pay for a truck like this, hauling sand?
How long will it take to pay for the Truck ?
not planing to pay off the truck
What's the weight rating difference between a quad axle and a quintaxle?
quad is around 17tons, quint 19.5 tons
What do you think of the i shift?
mine has an Allison in it. I-shift stay away from
BR trans-cargas❤️ - 💚 - 💛 - 💙
How do I get to do thing for a living… as an owner operator…😢
Why does the truck have 3 retractable auxiliary axles?
because of bridge in my state. if you wanna haul more you gotta have more axles basically
Air bags suspension?
It doesn’t have a heavy duty suspension?
that is heavy duty suspension sir
Whats gross vehicle weight on that with three pushed axles?
69000
Everyone commenting on costs and making money, he did say 24 Hour Shift. Working harder solves alot of problems.
agreed!
3 pusher axles? What’s your gvwr?
69,000lbs
Trivia question: 53 or 54 Chevy? I'm thinking a 54.
Those instructions alone followed by its easy is just nah
yea sometime they expect you to know what’s going on, even though it’s your first day on that job site, but all you have to do is just ask sometimes, instead of pretend to know everything
Look at those cute ass smaller rims and tires
i like how they look 😆
@@lifewithhelge there adorable
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.
i love my 328d bmw :)
7:55 like drugs!
What no GPS !!
It looks nice to me only problem i have it's an automatic transmission i hate automatic transmission vehicles
I like the automatic because there much easier to drive for paving and plus you CANT find a driver right now that drives manual.
I never cared for them either but they've come a long way.
Is this Duluth mn?
yes it is
Gorgeous truck! All the best in your future. Take good care of it and it’ll outlive everyone else.
That's the plan!
The words “Luxury” and “dump truck” do not belong in the same sentence. I’ve driven Petes, KW, Volvo and Freightshaker dumps. Some were equipped better than others, but at the end of the day when I got out of them, my a$$ was beat.
Its just a dump truck. Nothing luxury about it.
Actually its one of the best equipes and good looking that i’ve ever seen
Nice truck ✌ love from morocoo ❤
Thank you! hello morocoo
Do you normally work 8.5 hours a day?
normally on average about 9hrs a day… we do have 11-12 hr days during the summer
Sucks they gotta Scratch That Pretty Bed!
I do what you do son the next time you work with that asphalt crew tell them to load the truck as there ripping out the old asphalt so your not handling the material twice rip and load you don’t touch material twice
sounds good, this was a weekend gig so they had the asphalt ripped out before i got there.
