    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

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. 🤠🤠

    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.

      @VineV-Dutch 4 дні тому +2

      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.

      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

    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 like the automatic because there much easier to drive for paving and plus you CANT find a driver right now that drives manual.

    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.
