gravel train drivers

Well just hoo?ked up with a local gravel train company. Iv pulled trains in the past but mostly 8 axle steel trains and 8 axle grain dumps.

I guess im looking for some realworld advise on this type of work. Tips, tricks, ideas? All will be helpful.

 

End dump. 30' east aluminum dumps.

 

We use a dolly and pintle hook set up just kike double van trailers use. Only difference is we use a big 2 inch pin that locks the rear pup to the dolly when we back up.. There is only 2 pivot points when backing
One at the trucks 5th wheel and then at the pintle hook connection

 

307, no were supposed to be as straight as possible from what the boss says.
Alberta, yes its an A train.

Here is a a link to what im pulling 307

Im not sure alberta.. tomorrow was supposed to be my first day bit the rain has stopped tomorrows work.. gravel is all new to me.. i have pulled dumps for years but those were 45 foot frameless single dumps hauling shelled corn, wheat, and soy beans. They move a whole lot easier than gravel
