How to Operate an End Dump Trailer 

Been a dump trailer guy almost 20 years I see a lot of these how-to videos where these guys put the trailer all the way up to the sky before they start rolling forward and they have material bunched up at the bottom of their trailer whereas I usually release the trailer brakes as the trailer still going up and material is dumping out pushing me forward I would never let material Bunch up behind me like that

Finally a video that gets to the freaking point, thank you.

The best thing you can do is ,first make sure your truck and trailer are as level as possible, and two no overhead obstructions

Love those frameless trailers. Took a break from heavy haul and got a 48' frameless end dump. Run it for a couple years and parked it, went back to heavy haul. The Aluminum tailgate makes a big difference. I had to have front to back tarp because of hauling scrap metal.

Sliding floor technology used in giant sized grain hoppers would be more reliable and additionally would keep the center of gravity low without having a giant trailer raised up in midair. I've seen rollovers on Ron Pratt's channel Midwest Towing showing how to upright one of these trailers that rolled over and upon rolling over broke the hydraulic ram on it. That can be an expensive piece of equipment to replace. As for the type of sliding floor technology I myself would prefer, I'd prefer the kind where it is just one extremely long multipart hydraulic ram that extends the whole length of the dump body to push the entire load out. This would give far greater control than even a side tipper dump body could give, as one could very easily control exactly how much material comes out and where it will pile up. This is just my opinion, I don't drive dump trucks for a living, but it's what the dump trailer manufacturers are bringing out recently. The major problem with raising a long dump body in the air is that it can get pushed over by a sufficiently strong gust of wind. Keeping the center of gravity low, as I stated earlier, minimizes this risk.

I rebuild hydraulic cylinders for a living. Specifically 5 Stage cylinders on end dumps like these. Let me tell you, there’s a few flaws this guy has on his rig. In due time he will figure out what those issues are. Undoubtedly I may be the one repairing/rebuilding it!

I would insure well. They usually end up lying on their side.

Great video, professional quality. I want to ask - are there job openings in that area of employment and what is expected salaries for the drivers?

You should mention to make sure there are no overhead wires or obstructions before you lift her up 😉

Everything good except he forgot one safety tool ( The Gloves ). Yeah you don’t want to hurt your fingers.

You did well

Wow it's all common sense

I've only ever seen these trailers on the Internet. They dont exist in my state. People are to smart to buy them. Drivers dont want them. There are so many more practical options that are not so quirky.

Nice Truk Treler My Bos❤❤

That's too much if u working in a soft site and it's raining u hv to come out and do all that

Jason forgot to tie his tarp straps down. I see they’re still using my old wagon. Looks good yet. I see you got a newer tarp on it. Have a good one

Thank you so much

💯

awesome video. thanks alot
