Chris I’m watching this video on the Fourth of July weekend of 2021 and you are doing a fantastic job God Bless America and I hope you have a great weekend
Watching a fully experienced and smooooth operator doing his thing, it is a marvel to watch the smoothness he displays with each bucket full! Even my wife is amazed! Good work, love it!
There is something nearly hypnotic about watching that bucket cut into the earth & come up full. And then being swung over to a dump truck in the able hands of a skilled operator..
That's what I call moving material hopefully the hurricane doesn't hit the farm to hard take care of yourself during this time of weather Chris keep use in touch on how things are going and that you are safe my friend 😀
Pretty efficient dirt moving going on there - no wasted moves. It's also kind of amazing at how large the 220 really is. When loading the haul truck it looks fairly small. But now that you are loading tandems, the size is much more apparent. That's a pretty good sized girl there...
Yeah I actually enjoy being in the cab with you. You can still see everything and it’s more entertaining hearing you talk.. even if your just counting out loud.
I dont mean to be so off topic but does anyone know of a tool to log back into an instagram account?? I stupidly lost the password. I appreciate any assistance you can give me.
@Ira Manuel thanks so much for your reply. I found the site thru google and Im trying it out atm. Seems to take quite some time so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
Indeed, we do what we must but, get you some REST my friend! Also, you're real SMOOTH with those sticks too! I use to run a Cat 336 doing the same thing years ago and it was by far one of my BEST jobs. However, STAY SAFE and KEEP SCOOPING dude.😀👌🏾👍🏾❤💯
I've never ran HM, but sitting here with you is so relatable. Your fulfilling one of my dreams. Thank you! Maybe start some videos from the door? Climbing up into a semi and getting it started and going was more fun to me than driving it, lol. Be safe!
I have to say you are one Good Operator not Dropping shit all over the truck body and leveling the load out, I miss those days here in New Jersey were the operator cared and was so smooth, I hope to get back in the Dump work when I move down to South Carolina, But for now im still running my big KW, and Dump Trailer and other work.
Good job of loading the box, I came across a few guys here in DC/MD that will load you too front heavy, then when you raise to dump you're more prone to tipping if you're not level, be safe down there from Flo!!
Meterology is a lot like doctoring. Everybody is always practicing and nobody knows just WHAT is what and hope they dont kill ya in the process.... you've done a LOT of clearing so far,
That's because we like a little break while we were in line maybe to eat something cuz most drivers don't gets to stop and eat l run trucks just like that Quint axles. It's go go go.
When I drove that kind of truck jobs; we always tended to end up coming and going as one left, neatly as it should and without any coordination. But then as soon 9 and 12 hit on the clock all trucks would pile up as they come back from their brakes. Glancing through this thread I am inclined to think that since most of these truckers are locals, the behaviour and trends are very local as well.
I noticed,much better loading, you are being careful not to spill any on the side of the trucks,the other day it looked like a beginner like me loading,nice job,drivers in VT get mad I you spatter dirt on the truck because they have to get out and clean it off before heading out, nice work
those tyres on the trucks must not last that long with all the tyre scrub they must face. its nice to see someone who cares when loading trucks no spillage !
That's a lot of axles on those road trucks! Is that the norm over there? For similar size trucks in the UK we have 4 axles, a pair front and back. Also we don't do thumb grabs - most larger machines have "fully-auto" quick hitches for various attachments. (Semi auto quick hitches have been discouraged due to a few squashed groundworkers after the pin fell out) Loving your films, great to see how things are done over the Pond! (Stay safe with yr storms)
sorry to tell you this so late lol but it is normal for most dump trucks and trucks in America to have a couple.of lift axles for extra support and to help with braking and the most axles on a truck I've seen is 7 with there being 1 steer 4 tag axles and 2 drive tires but it is normal for dump trucks to have at least one
Hope you don’t have any severe issues with the storm. Now the thoughts providing nothing horrible happens is what your great work will look like once the storm passes. Stay safe God Bless 🙏
I am keeping an eye on the weather radar to see what's going on hoping that your guys area does not get totally destroyed and I live some where in the west coast hurricanes have not made land fall there yet but I will keep an eye on the radar
Ever considered renting or buying a 460 Or 480 for projects like this double the bucket size! Love watching your videos once I get up and running I’ll have you up to New England to play in the rocks!
Good operation there. My rules were, never load over the cabin, and always load the back first (in case the truck has to drop its load for some reason). But.... I would like to know the trucks are only half loaded.
Can tell you're running pretty close to empty, as you dropped a little dirt down the sides of the Dump Trucks. Also its funny sometimes they would pull to the right coming in and just back up too you, and others would pull in towards you and make a K turn too get tuned around.
Thanks for putting up a video even with everything else going on! Where I am in SC we will be getting hit by the hurricane also. What all did you do with your machines to get them ready for the storm? Thanks!
2 excavators,skid steer,more dump trucks than you can shake a stick at. Someone has some deep pockets! I'm guessing you'll be having a steak instead of bologna for a few days :)
Seems like if weight restriction is off u would load heavy. But no point in killing the trucks. Man u have been working ur butt off to get all thst moved. Maybe storm won't be to bad for u man. I'll say a prayer for ya
Since you have had the 250 for a while now, which do you think is more productive in this truck loading application? The 250 with its smaller bucket and higher speed or the 290 with the slower speeds but larger bucket? That big one you ran up there at the test center would be nice right about now with the hurricane blowing. Stay safe and no hurricane parties!
With roads blocked and other inconveniences, deal with your sore throat now in case it is infected. It is not a time to ignore symptoms, as you may not be able to reach a doctor later.
Haha I know the feeling mate just full the truck up till the driver comes back and says I think you put to much on last load! Like we care man just turn and burn!

Good luck with the storm Chris. Hope it don't mess ya up too bad. Hope ya get better soon!

@Ira Manuel It worked and I actually got access to my account again. I am so happy!
Thank you so much you saved my ass :D
@Jason Leandro glad I could help :D
You're a great operator, good job 'shaking the bucket' to keep the truck clean....and the drivers happy, well, most of them. ....13

Can’t speak for others, but I know I enjoy your commentary. Stay safe.

A great operator!
I could watch this all day. hope you come through the storm with out to much damage .
Another great video Chris watching the day after Flo. hit hoping everything in your world is OK.
Shit I don’t drive excavators or nothing but I drive tractors.... just admire how smooth an operator can get in these machines..
I hope everything goes well with the hurricane Florence I am praying for you and your family
You do an awesome job. Thanks for sharing.

"YAY LUNCH IS HERE!" :D
Tater slams bucket into ground. Shuts machine and camera off. Jumps out to eat 😂
Hey look on the bright side if you get sick no big deal because of the rain it'll be to wet an nasty to work 👍
Hope you can use the downtime as the storm passes as time to recover from that cold...
I love your commentary.
God bless! Stay safe!
Good luck getting it out before your bad weather sets in , cheers from down under.
Looking like they were keeping u pretty busy, your a smooth operater, you run that machine like a surgeon
Have watched many of your videos and will have to say,you're one of the smoothest operators I've ever watched.
Great video Chris thanks for sharing have a great day
My dad always said that truck drivers ran in herds. He would load trucks and they would leave about 4 minutes apart but all 12 come back at one time.
Tired old mechanic Absolutely, even when they don't leave the job site , they find a way to reform the herd. Cheers from down under.
safety in numbers?
That's because we like a little break while we were in line maybe to eat something cuz most drivers don't gets to stop and eat l run trucks just like that Quint axles. It's go go go.
Same in Sweden, doesn't matter how you send them off, they come back in herds.
When I drove that kind of truck jobs; we always tended to end up coming and going as one left, neatly as it should and without any coordination. But then as soon 9 and 12 hit on the clock all trucks would pile up as they come back from their brakes.

Thanks for my daily fix. Despite the incoming storm and your not feeling well, you still managed to upload another great video.
Some kids don't stop playing in the dirt when they grow up. They're just given bigger toys to play with. :)
those tyres on the trucks must not last that long with all the tyre scrub they must face. its nice to see someone who cares when loading trucks no spillage !
Outside view is kinda neat too... sounds like a Wookie on perma-howl.
I hope the storm doesn't destroy a lot of your house and yard. I hope the best for you
Just curious. I heard you say the weight limits have been taking away for the storm why not really load the dumps?
That's a lot of axles on those road trucks! Is that the norm over there?
For similar size trucks in the UK we have 4 axles, a pair front and back.
Also we don't do thumb grabs - most larger machines have "fully-auto" quick hitches for various attachments.

Praying for you, your family, equipment and company. Let us know how things turn out after. Prayers from Georgia
Im praying for you and your family Chris. I hate hurricanes.
Hope your crew stays safe during the stotm, thanks for the awesome Vids from up in Alberta, Canada
It just amazes me how much sediment there is! Nice video, get to feeling better!
Be safe, hope family and home are ok.
Stay safe man, I lived in North Carolina for probably 20yrs and have many family members still their
Feel better soon, stay safe!
I am keeping an eye on the weather radar to see what's going on hoping that your guys area does not get totally destroyed and I live some where in the west coast hurricanes have not made land fall there yet but I will keep an eye on the radar
Looks like a truckers convention. Cletus driving the white 5 axle needs to turn that country music down so he can hear your horn. 😜
Stay safe during the storm if it's possible I'd like to see this job after the hurricane
Smooth operator!!!👍
I like the way you level off the top of the Bed,!
I hope you far well with the storm are prayers are with all of you.
Nice video 🙂🙂🙂🙂
Stay safe this weekend! Prayers for all in the path of this storm!
Love watching your videos we've managed to miss the bulk of the storm here in Delaware hope y'all survive the storm ok
Awesome video

Can tell you're running pretty close to empty, as you dropped a little dirt down the sides of the Dump Trucks. Also its funny sometimes they would pull to the right coming in and just back up too you, and others would pull in towards you and make a K turn too get tuned around.
HOLY hell yeah man I'm so happy for you guys and I'm so proud of him

Hope weather doesnt get too bad there. Stay safe!
You have to be from here to use a word like slew, got to love it!
Great video Chris
Hope you ride out the storm okay God's blessings are with you
Thanks for the video.
Take it from one who can run anything with Yeller Paint, your a smooth operator
Stay safe and hope Florence doesn't affect your property to badly cheers NZ.
I imagine after this hurricane is gone you'll have lots more work coming your way. You may have to get a couple more 220's or 250's.
That 5 axle is huge!
And yet it can only haul 80k it’s crazy the same can be done in NJ with only three rear Axles.
i enjoy the inside view.....
For some reason this is very satisfying great video
Great video
12 is a good effort Chris 👍
That Volvo really is a Workhorse
Stay safe dude love the vids!
Smoooth Operator.
Stay safe down there buddy,
Love this video bud
As a wise man once said "YAY LUNCH IS HERE"
Do you consider this stuff clean fill, and if so do you have a place to stockpile for later jobs.
Great work 👍🏻 How much can the trucks haul per load?
2 excavators,skid steer,more dump trucks than you can shake a stick at. Someone has some deep pockets! I'm guessing you'll be having a steak instead of bologna for a few days :)
Seems like if weight restriction is off u would load heavy. But no point in killing the trucks. Man u have been working ur butt off to get all thst moved. Maybe storm won't be to bad for u man. I'll say a prayer for ya
they bitching im loading them too heavy now!

Take care of yourself Chris......you gotta get some r and r :-)
With roads blocked and other inconveniences, deal with your sore throat now in case it is infected. It is not a time to ignore symptoms, as you may not be able to reach a doctor later.
A "SLEW" of trucks is a new one on me like a gaggle of geese
Haha I know the feeling mate just full the truck up till the driver comes back and says I think you put to much on last load! Like we care man just turn and burn!
Pure Man Stuff...I love it...
Stay safe my friend
Great vidja but i hear that logger Wade feller can way out dig you i doubt it hope you guys pull through the storm ok have a great night be safe.
No weight limits....fill them to the gills!
Will weight restrictions be tight after the storms? From ground saturation and roads giving way?
Just noticed that one truck had 3 lift axles. that thing can HAUL some weight. most I've ever seen was 2.
I hope you got a big dump site.
