Been a dump trailer guy almost 20 years I see a lot of these how-to videos where these guys put the trailer all the way up to the sky before they start rolling forward and they have material bunched up at the bottom of their trailer whereas I usually release the trailer brakes as the trailer still going up and material is dumping out pushing me forward I would never let material Bunch up behind me like that

Finally a video that gets to the freaking point, thank you.

[@autumntransport]

Glad it helped

The best thing you can do is ,first make sure your truck and trailer are as level as possible, and two no overhead obstructions

[@autumntransport]

Great reminders! Thanks!

Love those frameless trailers. Took a break from heavy haul and got a 48' frameless end dump. Run it for a couple years and parked it, went back to heavy haul. The Aluminum tailgate makes a big difference. I had to have front to back tarp because of hauling scrap metal.

[@autumntransport]

Right on

You should mention to make sure there are no overhead wires or obstructions before you lift her up 😉

[@autumntransport]

Good point!

Sliding floor technology used in giant sized grain hoppers would be more reliable and additionally would keep the center of gravity low without having a giant trailer raised up in midair. I've seen rollovers on Ron Pratt's channel Midwest Towing showing how to upright one of these trailers that rolled over and upon rolling over broke the hydraulic ram on it. That can be an expensive piece of equipment to replace. As for the type of sliding floor technology I myself would prefer, I'd prefer the kind where it is just one extremely long multipart hydraulic ram that extends the whole length of the dump body to push the entire load out. This would give far greater control than even a side tipper dump body could give, as one could very easily control exactly how much material comes out and where it will pile up.
This is just my opinion, I don't drive dump trucks for a living, but it's what the dump trailer manufacturers are bringing out recently. The major problem with raising a long dump body in the air is that it can get pushed over by a sufficiently strong gust of wind. Keeping the center of gravity low, as I stated earlier, minimizes this risk.

Learn about the construction industry and what end dumps haul and you will see why your opinion has little value.

Jason forgot to tie his tarp straps down. I see they’re still using my old wagon. Looks good yet. I see you got a newer tarp on it. Have a good one

[@autumntransport]

Thanks Darren! Hope all is well.

[@PropperNaughtyGeezer]

I would insure well. They usually end up lying on their side.

[@TiraMisu-cm8ix]

Great video, professional quality. I want to ask - are there job openings in that area of employment and what is expected salaries for the drivers?

Everything good except he forgot one safety tool ( The Gloves ). Yeah you don’t want to hurt your fingers.

[@blackout7615]

I've only ever seen these trailers on the Internet. They dont exist in my state. People are to smart to buy them. Drivers dont want them. There are so many more practical options that are not so quirky.

[@randsamuel3385]

That's too much if u working in a soft site and it's raining u hv to come out and do all that

[@autumntransport]

Yeah, trucking is a tough job. We're so thankful for our awesome owner operator partners like Jason!

[@davewilliams8134]

Wow it's all common sense

[@autumntransport]

Wouldn't it be a great world if everyone had a little more common sense?

[@rodger996]

You did well

[@autumntransport]

Thanks! He's a great driver!
