to all end dump haulers...

What’s good fellow dumpers? I’m stuck out tonight about 4 hours from home in the little coastal town of apalachicola, no worries though as there’s a killer little dive called the station raw bar within walking distance that has some of the best peel and eat shrimp in the area. I’ll get up at 230 AM and bring it on in, should be home around 7 or so. BTW, @NightWind i heard you out there on Wednesday, I was over at SA recycling, I hollered to ya’ but I think we got out of range pretty quickly, either way good to hear you back out here. Hope everyone has a good weekend.

Hi ya'll ! Jimy and I spent all week working out the electrical bugs the paint shop gave the truck. Look out Monday we will be wide open. I can hardly contain myself! Bummer is that I can't wash the truck for a month!

 

Hell it was in the 20s the other morning with snow up here in montana

 

Keep it up there please

 

And the winner of worst load of the week goes to....


Drum roll please...

ME!!



Railroad car couplers. Heavy ###, banging, clanging, bunching together, non comin out, trailer rocking, trailer hole making, non level dumping spot having, butt puckering rail car couplers. I thought dumping motors was bad, this was everything bad about that plus some. But they came off with minimal damage. Last guy that dumped them it ripped his end gate off and it was barn doored. Other than that it’s been a pretty solid week. Salt around the city and some clay here and there. My truck clutch went out so I hadda drive a daycab today. I felt claustrophobic all day. Haha got some pics of my old hometown tho. It’s still as dumpy as I remember.

 

@D.Tibbitt
Please send it here. The humidity has been off the charts here. I have thought about moving farther north. The heat just kills me.
@Trashtrucker1707 The water trucks were gunning for me on Friday but Mother Nature beat them to the punch. The truck is dirty all ready and I haven't even left town!
@MACK E-6 The anticipation is making me wait but not late. I don't know who is more ready me or Jimy! I'd be lying if I said I wasn't dreading the dirt roads with new paint but it is what it is.
@motocross25
Winner ,Winner for the WORST load of the year. Bless your heart. Don't think I'll be doing that any time soon. Day Cabs suck, there is NO room for anything. I am thinking about going back OTR but won't decide until next month.

 

Thanks for your sympathy @NightWind it was pretty terrible. And I have not forgot about you with my trailer lean saga. We tried it again at the yard by the shop. Our loader put a commercial zone load on me of landscape rock and it went up straight as an arrow. Then sometimes it just leans way over. My coworker took a couple pics to try to capture it but it doesn’t really do it justice as we were in the bin wonky as there wasn’t much room. Or it wasn’t as bad as sometimes. The shop gave my trailer a thorough inspection and even replaced the super single back there thinking maybe it had bad cords in it. The last time I dumped it it was leanin so bad the loader at the cement plant was tellin me on the cb to set it down. Lol. I had a coworker watch it this week he said it looks like the piston is going up straight, but the box is tilted. So idk. I’m taking it down to the shop again Monday and we gonna load more loads and try to get it to do it. So long story short, still no solution.

 

When the box is leaning,is the chassis off the trailer also leaning?
