Spending My Saturday Figuring Out How The New 2020 Kenworth T880 Super Dump Works. Construction. 

How do I keep my long work days entertaining? I love listening to books. Here is the app that I use. amzn.to/3FG78gy

That is a sweet looking truck. I guess I'm one of those weird old people now because I just can't give up shifting my truck.

So glad you are back.

I’ve been a truck driver for 37 years. I was a owner operator gravel hauler back in the early 90 you would make money now no it’s not worth it your better having your truck in the oilfield big money there

Wow! Your truck is definitely the pride of the fleet now Dom. Good on you for figuring out your no 1 drop axle issue. It all helps with learning how things work. I think your PTO needs to be on for the back axle because its hydraulically operated, and the PTO pump needs to be on for oil delivery.

Congratulations beautiful you definitely deserve the new truck. I love ❤️ watching your videos. You have a great personality. You are a great role model for your children. Be proud of yourself because you have earned it !!!!

So so glad you're back hope the family is good really missed your videos keep them coming in stay safe

I think it's simple enough to understand. It has an acceleration pedal w a brake pedal along with some shifting the gears with some leavers and or buttons to the back. Going out on a limb here

I already have a thing for the Western Star 49x, but darn that is a beautiful truck. Imagine the 49x with that box.

I'm really happy to see you back in the Seattle again I wish I can ride with you and the brand new kw

Wow!!!! Women like this do exist ❤️

Never drove a new truck. the newest I ever drove was a '65 848 KW off highway log truck in 1970. I have driven newer trucks, but always at least a decade old when I got them. Kind of fun watching a new truck get started up. And clean too....

Just remember with that booster axle your gonna have a lot of tail swing and don't back up with it down you will twist the frame up like a pretzel and you will absolutely love the air ride suspension like riding on a cloud I always deflate the bags before dumping because 1 you are more stable and 2 after you dump if there is air in the bags they will over inflate and you will get no traction plus you run the risk of blowing up a bag and that scares the crap outta you

I shared you video with my 2 daughters ….16/20 Yrs old Both of them were impressed. Great role model !!!

Damn D, that’s a nice friggin truck! Can’t wait to see ya workin it. Congratulations.....

The air bags add in something special. A rancher around town borrowed his friends dump truck. He did not dump the air bags, he had some damp gravel on one side, he laid the truck on the side. Too much air on your front lift may cause lazy or late steering. I am sure that you will be excellent! Hello from north east Montana. 10 miles from the Canadian border.

Welcome back! Good looking ride...except the twin chimneys are missing. Always fun figuring out a new truck. Look forward to learning with you.

Superdumps are nice setups, and kenworth is the only way to go, especially with a cummins.

So nice from every angle😎....the truck as well😏 Damn That’s a lot too figure out lol

Bags in a dump truck ... Wow!!!... that is some piece of machine!!!... its Beautiful... i never seen a dumptruck like that ... we dont have beast like that on the east coast.... again Wow !!! .. and Welcome Back!!!

Hope to see you OTR sometime i will be the guy freaking out waving honking yelling your my hero. ❤

Glad to see you are back Dauminique. That is one sweet T880 super dump you are driving now. I wish you well. Stay safe!!

Dang. That’s a beast !!

This video proves the best man for the job is........still a man.

Nice demonstration of the new truck! I've always wondered myself how the dropped pressure axles worked even though I don't drive or use them.

Them Allison Transmission are awesome , mine didn't actually have a shifter , it was just push button .. it's gonna take awhile to get into a routine I'm sure .. I can tell you're excited about driving it ,and probably anxious too .. I'd be a near freak for about a month , then I'd be more comfortable getting it dirty .. Glad you're back , you always have something interesting ( I can relate to almost all you do , I drove the dump bucket for two years then went back to the eighteenth wheeler ) . Be careful, have a great week ..!!

Almost a shame to get it dirty !!! It's so beautiful !!!

I will say tho nice truck ,but up here in buffalo we don't need all them axles and our trucks haul the same wait if not more ,base trucks here haul 24ton legal then when you add drop tag put you in the rang of 26 to 30 ton lol,but nice truck and be safe out there with it

I hope you're making at least $25-30 /hr.Way to go for checking the fluids even though the truck is new.Great habit to have..You should really try and get your own truck.Maybe not a 200 grand brand new one but one thats a couple of years old.I don't know what the going rate is for trucks out there but here it's $80-100/hr.Since your husbands an equipment mechanic he could keep the truck in good shape.Just a thought.I've had my own business for 30 years and there's nothing like working for yourself.

Trucks that I have driven with air bags usually deflate when people is engaged. More stable when spreading. You will get it have and enjoy!PTO lol

Each drop pressure should be around 35 to 40 psi. Each drop axle more than likely rated at around 10,000 lbs. you should set them at the scale so you know what they are. If you get inspected by DOT and those drops are set to high, could cost you. Should say on the tag on the door jam what the drop axles are rated for.

On the inside of the Hood where the hood slides into the resting rubber pins lubercate the rubber pins with a silicone spray, or something to make it easier to open and close the hood

I understand it’s all about legal payload and ROI, but these SD trucks make me think the engineers must all be named Bridgestone. 🤣

Nice truck Dump trucks I been trucking truck for 17 years just brought myself a new dump also be safe out and get money dump trucks world all the way.💯💯😁😁💯

Hahaha, you heard me telling you to turn the pto on! That's a pretty fancy truck, my legs would be shaking the first time driving it!!

You look great. I live in New Hampshire where we have tri axles. I'm over 30 years as a CDL A driver and believe me... we ALL make mistakes. Keep up the great videos. 👍

Great looking rig!

What a set of jeans best looking looking dump trucker I've ever seen

Great to see you "back in saddle"! The way you have to open the hood looks really scary to me! Looks like a chance for a bad fall. Best wishes! Happy New Year!

Hi Neighbor...We are from Everett Washington......If you see people Sharing .Don't be Alarm...You have a beautiful truck and its fun to see a celebrity....Your husband should be Proud....Good luck in life

I’d have to trade it off when it gets to needing tires

Love your Boot's... Ohyeah... I'm James from Knoxville, Tennessee just saying... Enjoy your weekend... I'm a OTR semi Truck Driver been for 22 years... What a Deal... ohyeah oh right... God be with you and your husband and family... God is the Greatest....... God Bless... Happy New year 🎉🎉🎉 Be careful...

Lol your like me I ant got NOTHING to talk about let's do it. All action keep up the good work babydoll

Hey Dauminique, I have a suggestion on opening the hood, instead of climbing up on the bumper and pulling it open, try pushing it up from one side over the steering axle or just behind it on the fender. I have been doing this for years mostly because of shoulder injuries from pulling it over instead of pushing it over lol. Just a suggestion have a great day I enjoy your vids, keep em coming!!

Didn't lock the hood when you drove off in the beginning

Welcome back, I really enjoy you're videos.

When you figure out what everything is Market with tape so you will know

Another great little video . Wishing you and your family a Happy and Healthy New Year for 2022 . I will see you later, I always love your videos so I will be waiting and watching . Be careful and stay safe and keep on trucking . As always, Jeffrey !!!

Interesting set-up. I've never seen a dump truck configuration like that before, we have nothing like it here in Australia.

Awesome job figuring your axles out

Nice truck! Thanks for taking us along!

Just remember that strong arm, Can get a person in trouble.

It will take getting used to, but I think you'll like that new truck. I bought twelve of them to start my company and they make a ton of money!

You got enough wheels on there.

Congratulations looks like an awesome truck. Pulling on that hood will give you guns and muscles

Something that I've seen a lot of dump truck drivers carry is a golf club, looks like a sand wedge, they use it to reach up and clean the side board top and tailgate after being loaded.

Beautiful girl with a beautiful truck 😍

Air pressure on lift axles changes from truck to truck but they usually run between 40 and 60psi. I have driven dump trucks before where I had to keep the air pressure around 50-55psi but currently I drive a KW T880 quint and I run 45psi on all of my axles, for some trucks that’s too low but like I said, pressure changes from truck to truck. Here’s a good idea I learned years ago about figuring out the right air pressure for your lift axles; whenever you’re going down the road LOADED with your lift axles down, move the steering wheel a little from side to side and if you feel the back of your truck kinda like loose or fishtailing, then you have too much air pressure on your lift axles and it’s picking up the back end of your truck. Back out on your air pressure until you feel your truck firmly going around the curves or when moving the steering wheel side to side. Gorgeous looking truck you have there though.

Sick truck! I personally am friends with a woman who's just taken possession of her 5th super 18 down here in AZ. Keep doing what you're doing. Soon that'll be you

I say sorry for this comment to the people who find offence in everything, but this is meant as a compliment. This lady looks good in jeans!!!! I now sit back ready to be slaughtered by the woke community on here.

That is the cleanest dump truck i have ever seen!!! Never driven one with that many tags! Nice to see other “Pebble Relocators” on the road!

For real one awesome truck , really nice ! Hmm ..... air bags ..... I think the 1st thing you're going to notice when you actually start working the truck , is going to be how much more comfortable the ride is going to be . I spent most of my 21 years on the road in trucks with straight out spring suspensions and man were they ever rough riding . I noticed in the video you have a trailer air knob for setting the brakes , can you utilize that truck to pull trailers ? And you don't come across as a "dumb ass" at all . We all started out somewhere and learned as we went . The only true dumb ass is the ones who try to fake it and don't ask questions or take the time to learn when confronted with something new and over time that generally bites the in the ass to remind them they don't know .

I love that color of that truck

Wow !!!! New truck is stunning and super beefy ...good luck with it and your an amazing lady !!!!

Dump truck strong 💪 dump truck carry rocks

kW's are a must.. turn the key let the clicks and chimes all finish first.. then start the motor.. every time..☝️😉

On my trucks if the drop axles are down and you put the truck in reverse the axles will come up automatically....Think you will notice with air bag's the truck will ride much better when empty....

HI from Maine, enjoyed looking at your new truck. A couple of thoughts, ask your mechanic to add a handle to the passenger side fender of the hood, it will make raising the hood so much easier then climbing up the front of the hood. Your drive axles look to be on rubber bumpers for suspension, the lift axles use the air bags. Check to see if the lift axles come up automatically when you shift into reverse and do they all steer? The stiff leg should have pressure gauge as well. Lastly, I can't believe that you can only carry 82000#s for that many axles, I am good for 75900 on standared tri_axle. Enjoy the new truck!

There are very few things I do good in life. One of them is pushing random buttons and seeing what happens! hahahaha

Nice truck and all but that strong arm is going to be a pain. It's gonna have to be down every time you load. I've been driving 44 years. So glad you young folks gotta figure this new stuff out. I was impressed the first time I got a truck with power steering lol. You got this kid

Im glad to see you back on the job. Enjoy your driving videos!!

Some mechanic's insight. The drop axles are air powered. The Strong Arm and dump are hydraulic and need the PTO that powers the hydraulic pump. Think of your new truck like a new pair of shoes or boots. You need time in it to get comfortable, but, then if will feel so good. Those 3 knobs likely adjust the down force on each axle to maintain proper weight on the steer axle plus DOT axle limits. Does Strong Super Dumps have a tutorial? Maybe they need you to make a video of setting the drop axle pressures. You will rock this truck....

Nice truck and good luck finding all the switches by habit the first day.. lol ... nothing like swapping trucks... down here in Nevada we call those Super 18's... I drove one for a few weeks and it took some getting used to the rock and roll and of all that weight up on the tractor...

Also extremely clean 👍

Good evening from Scotland! This may be a dumb question but why don't the drop axles automatically drop when the main axle weight gets over max weight? Seems logical to be auto down and a manual override to lift if extra traction was required on the drive axles? Nice video and nice truck Dauminique. Have a good week!

Absolutely Gorgeous!

It looks like I won't ever a dump truck driver lol you can have it all

You got this! Slow and steady wins the race

Your truck is an automatic, I like that. You have lots of knobs and switches in that truck.

The truck is Absolutely gorgeous

Oh, it’s gonna be fun, aka Squirrley for a while with the new tires,, just wait till you hit a nice offramp with a good curve in it and you’re crabbing sideways loaded, just stay chill relax and nice small movements of the wheel

I was complaining about the 19 switches to turn the new shop lights on😂 think you have a sharper learning curve with the new truck. It'll be second nature in no time

You will be missed driving truck and your wonderful videos.

That Box Vibrator is a good idea !

Ive been watching you drive for some time an you do a great job I think some of the girls I have worked with over the years in Dump trucks,end dumps have been the better driver them most of the guys keep up the good work!

Tip from a float driver when opening the hood I unlatch it then push up on a fender

What a great looking rig nice color and the chrome just sets it off

Damn girl that truck has more buttons and knobs I have ever seen on a gravel truck did I hear you say it had a Vibrator on the bottom of the bed that is a beautiful Kenworth gravel truck I hate to imagine how much money that truck Was are you going to like that automatic you can drive anything my friend can’t wait to see you back in the truck I have been mission that you sure do look so beautiful in that video pretty girl is the baby doing good I hope so be safe i be waiting for you starting back to work can’t wait thank you for all the video and when you was pregnant you work for a long time and still Took time to make videos For us to watch and I really deeply appreciate it from the bottom my heart I guess I go now be safe

Nice work Bobby👏👏👏

Enjoy the new toy learning and growing

Watch the strong arm when making tight corners or changing lanes. That's a long tail. Nice truck.

we can all fit in that box!!! Great video.

Great detailed video. Best of luck with the new ride

That's one sexy dump truck trips drop axles

Glad you are back, the company should have someone walk around the truck with you and explain things and what does what. Can't waut fir tomorrow.

Saw a lot of comments on locking the hood I didn't think much of it since the last truck I drove had hood Inside the cab KW still doing it right

the steerable front tags are air, the strongarm is hydraulic and needs the rto to run the hydraulic pump. you'll get the hang of it

😲😲😲😲😲😲😲😲 I'm so jealous. 😲😲😲😲😲😲😲😲😲😲 Those things are a beast. 👍👍👍👍

Great video, also a CDL driver myself , use to drive a international claw truck for a tree service, hats off to you going out there and getting it done, have a good one!

Who doesn’t love a plethora of switches and a full complement of real gauges.
