As always Jay a great video. I took your advice and didn’t purchase the Freightliner Cascadia. I got a 2013 Mach , 15SQFT body, 445 HP, 13 speed manual, and it arrives next week Friday. I’m very happy for your guidance and direction from this channel. Thank you, thank you, thank you. I’ll be hauling gravel and dirt from a quarry. Blessings to you sir.
I will say I have experience with 2017-2023 Mack Granite, 8speed lo lo and 6speed automatic… the Mack auto is very fast and smooth. Also have experience with 2017-2020 WesternStar automatic .. the Macks are faster and have better turning radius, but the ws is like a Cadillac handles the bumps way better , both are great tri axles.
Hey Jay I am new CDL driver an new subscriber to your channel I love your videos but for me is more then that I love dump truck industry an I'm learning every day thank you 🤙🤙
Hi Jay I have been looking at your videos and find them to be very informative. Recently, I acquired my CDL A class license in New York but I only have experience outside of the US driving tractor trailers. I applied for jobs but companies are only looking for experienced drivers. I would like to gain some experience driving dump trucks with a company so in the near future I can become an owner operator. Can you give me some information as to where and how I can get started. Thanking you in advance and keep up the great work.
Is there money to be made buying a small 5-7 yard single rear axel dump truck ? Is there a market for that kind of truck ? I’m looking into buying my first truck and was considering one of those to get started. Thanks !
very good video Mancini thanks for the information. I'm preparing for the dump business and I would like to know how to know when the truck is at a good price?
Mack! Mack! Mack ! They are best suited for the Construction industry heavy aggregate material hauling they are Proven in this genre of hauling Mack Maxitorque 12 spd. You want 500 HP and Mack’s famous Camelback suspention NO Air suspension Air bags No good on Dump trucks Air makes the Dump Trucks unstable they will tip over when dumping
Hey brother I'm in Buffalo ny just got my cdl a and got my first gig driving dump I've done construction all my life but new to the driving. My question is simple should I stay with the company and learn the job, skills to eventually buy my own truck or should I just send it and buy my own truck and get at it and take the chance I have family to take care of and honestly know nothing as far as mechanics
Brother I actually did a video about this, I strongly encourage you learn the biz first. Everything will be easier when you have your own truck, knowledge is power! Thanks for watching!
What do dump trucks make per hour in the Houston area ? I live in Oregon it depends on what part of the state you live in. In the Portland metro are they pay more compared to souther part of the state
I got my start in driving a cat 797 haul truck working in the mine industry an then started driving over the road as a heavy hauler now I'm wanting to get back to driving a dump truck an I'm thinking about getting a mack granite super dump with a 10 SPDmanual transmission that has two pusher axels on it is the mack granite a good truck to buy .. an what license is good for driving a dump truck I have a class A but I'm not looking to go back to OTR
@@jaymancini awesome thanks for the information brother love yr videos they help me out cause I'm looking to buy a mack granite super dump an with the spec's you talk about help me an know what to look for I'm moving to Texas soon but if I don't buy a truck do you continue to hire drivers
410 gear ratio is nice but, not so good for fuel mileage !! 391/390 and 18 speed trans is an all type of work set up. 16 front and 46 rears. Hard X round edges box with a gross weight of 102k (tri axle trailer) will give you a pay load of 66k . That's with a 550 Cummins for power in a T800 and air suspension . Never had a problem on any job site. Thanks for the vid !
I'm going peterbilt dump trucks I got a diesel mechanic for a cousin and I have information on them from long conversations with oguys that owned or own them
Hey Jay, I’ve been watching your videos for a couple weeks now, I’m in school now for my class A cdl but longterm I’m going to open a dump truck business, was hoping I could speak to you I live in Houston as well.
