A Day In The Life Of A Dump Truck Driver | Episode 4 | A Day In The Life Of A Truck Driver 

If the Lord is willing I pray that you get hired! With OTR experience, you shouldn't have much trouble at all

@@sidbrant thank you!

Just know at some point you start to miss OTR. It’s a bitter sweet separation

@@Sauce_AV_SWMC I feel that. I can truly say that in a way I’ve grown “attached” to the freedom I feel out here. But I still wanna be home more often. Seems like the only way to have that balance is local or owner op.

⁠i completely understand that fr. I’m now local after 7 years OTR/ western regional and some C.A.N runs. I miss the grind hahaha more then I would like To admit. Try looking into box trucking.

You're welcome!

If the Lord is willing more will be up soon!

😂😂

I looked it up and man there's definitely some great knowledge dropped on his podcast! I was checking out the heavy haul stuff

@@sidbrant yeah its a 💎 for sure❗

I hope it helps!

Thank you!

I actually use to do that but I learned that this truck makes a scraping sound when it latches the tailgate successfully and no sound when it doesn't 😂

I seen that before and hot mix come shooting out back of truck...the hot mix guy be cussing up a storm

❤

I hope it goes well! Study that pre-trip lol

You start yet

I see the ray walker trucks all the time man!

Glad you enjoyed the video!

Congratulations on getting the license and a job!

My brother in law made it

Hello!

Hey! I'm actually a company driver lol, but I use a round base magnet with a bolt through it to attach my gopro mount. I usually will stick it on the bed since it's steel and aim it where I want. The magnet can hold 95lbs I believe so it doesn't go anywhere.

@sidbrant Thank you so much! I didn't think about hanging it with a magnet....I see now that there are some knockoff gopro mounts that already have a magnet too. Safe travels, driver!

Yes, tractor trailer now!

Usually around that time, maybe a little earlier.

Congratulations on getting your cdl man, I hope it goes well for you! Keep God first and it will!

Automatic, a lot of companies are now switching to automatic trucks. In tractor trailers too.

@@sidbrant hi I'm from srilanka and I want to work with your company can you give any help

If you are gonna spend the money. Get your class A and go to a school where they teach in manuals. The last thing you want is a restricted cdl

Is dump truck seasonal or all year round ?@@TaxationIsTheft439

This job actually pays hourly, not by the load, but we write out load count sheets to keep track of what's being hauled. Quarries give out tickets when we get loads from them

Year round

Usually the dump trucks don't move on rainy days. So we either go home early or move equipment around that needs to be moved to another site

Yes

Depends on the company, the place I work at did with me!

If you're already driving a Moffett truck combo( class A or B) you're getting experience on what most drivers don't have, Moffett and boom are specialized drivers, it will count positively on your application, plus after 6 month driving you're considered junior driver, no longer a trainee, on your class of course.. but most companies will waste your time, in fact most of us drivers time, sending you, and us. Out with another driver for a couple of weeks.. I think this is a waste of time, couple of days in order to get you acquainted with the job is ok.. more than that is a waste of my time.

@@johnkennedysilveira1323 yes the lumber yard I’m currently working at paid for my cdl course. I just have a regular class b cdl.

That counts as commercial driving experience

@@sidbrant preciate you I’m in South Carolina as well

I know what you mean man, but it's not just dump trucks. Everyone be wanting you to have a year or more experience is what it seems like. Try looking for a small company that needs drivers, that's where I started.

I came in with none

No I don't... Yeah man, gotta stay hydrated 😂

@@sidbrant 😆

I was raised in the country lol

If I know the general area, I'll ask for landmarks nearby to look for, all depends on the situation though

@@sidbrant Cool.

I had none

No it was a 6 speed Allison automatic

Yes

Love your content.

Thank you!

It's a 567

Each check is different, any where from $500-$1000

​@sidbrant damn that's not good at all from where I live I drive semis for UPS and gross 4k a week take home anywhere from 2400-$2700 weekly
