Enddump

ok I’m starting new job tomorrow first time driving a tractor trailer other than getting my class a ive driven dump trucks but never an end dump is it a bad idea

 

My neighbor makes good money doing that here locally in Phoenix, just be careful when your dumping your load, don’t want to tip over. lol

 

Yeah for sure I’m nervous which is a good thing

 

What city are you in?

 

Why would it be a bad idea? What kind of trailer? Framed or Frameless? Gate or Barn door? Level ground is your best friend, and watch out for over head obstacles when dumping.

 

Frameless

 

Just be careful! It's not hard to lay one over when dumping. You need the trailer as level as possible. Make them give you a level spot! You also have to think about the ground you backed over to get to that dump spot. Because, you will be pulling forward for several feet with the bed up in the 3rd-4th stage. Best of luck.

 

I will add Dont let your receiver boss or rush you to unload they don’t care if you end up on your side take your time be sure of what you’re doing

 

Don’t move the trailer until it is all the way up, atleast when starting out, as you get experience you can decide if you want to walk the trailer instead of the truck and know the load is out of the nose

 

Unfortunately my first couple of weeks I delivered to a place that was inside so I had to jackknife into the bin and walk the trailer to me wouldn’t do it on all loads #### sure wouldn’t in the winter.
