Backing up dump truck

Usually the machine will rollup to the truck with me lined up and a foot or two infront if it. This time he didnt. I backed in... No hand signals he jumped out of paver

 

I was sitting there waiting for him to give me hand signals.... He just got out of the machine during that time walked up to truckj. I always watch the mirror and keep window rolled diwn so that wasnt issue..

I think the fact that there machine broke down. They were in a rush. And the knew I was knew. And seeing me backup like that to avoid truck when I really didnt have to got me out of the seat

 

Hammer out the wtfs.... Lol thats a good one ill keep that in mind..

That definitley a wtf moment out of many ive had while learning this job.

It's easy to speculate from passenger seat. I would of been good backing up.... I didnt have to avoid the truck like my trainer told me... I knew I was clear...

Probably would of saved me

 

Last night about 15...and all 15 were lined up to unload because machine broke down. But usually varies. Most ive seen waiting to dump so far

 

I think its too dark for that, and lane is covered in tar. But I will keep it in mind hard to think of it at the moment

We back into a machine tHat loads the asphalt spreader... Thats the machine that was broken

Havent done gravel... But someone else used the truck the other day for gravel so I had to spray it down and get a loader to dump gravel and dumped it before getting loaded at plant to clean it up

 

A month to do a parking lot? We do industrial parking lots in a day....Lol. These guys get job done fast

Whats a belly dump?


We use triaxle, one you have to raise axle everytime you turn

We have a few live bottom trucks? Is that the same?
