When u unhook instead of jacking up reach just tighten up jack and drop airbags . Saves u jacking reach up . When u hook back up it’s easy . Drop them again and back up then air up u good to go .
@@rambo3347 the truck doesn’t have air bags
@@DauminiqueTheDumpTruckDriver oh my That would explain it . Spring ride u must be tuff girl .
@@DauminiqueTheDumpTruckDriver u wouldn’t be trucking where I do with spring ride lol . Northern bc the gravel roads would kill u .
Nice to see a professional who puts her experience acquired intuition ahead of someone else's "oh its fine" opinion 👍
Thanks!!!
Dauminaque , you are a true professional, your calm demeanor and the fact that you’re always observant has made you an outstanding driver.. I find it inspirational…
used to pack a tape measure in my 'kit bag' when I drove... if I slip-seated, every truck got measured (tractor length, width, height, wheelbase), plus measuring the trailer's overall dimensions (or the load, for 'deck' work)... saved my bacon more than once...
Hey Niqi,
"A truck driver was driving along on the freeway. A sign comes up that reads "low bridge ahead." Before he knows it the bridge is right ahead of him and he gets stuck under the bridge. Cars are backed up for miles. Finally, a police car comes up. The cop gets out of his car and walks around to the truck driver, puts his hands on his hips and says, "Got stuck, huh?" The truck driver says, "No, I was delivering this bridge and ran out of gas."
Dauminique, The tarp motor is improperly installed. It can be turned to where it doesn't protrude above the cab protector. Also get those stacks down to match the height of the cab protector. After that, get up in the box, climb on top of the cab protector, and measure down to the ground while unloaded and on level concrete paving. Do this on both sides of the truck. Take the maximum distance and add 4 inches. Record this somewhere and also post it on the dash of your truck so you can always see it. Write it with a magic marker if you have to. Most low bridges have the clearance height posted. You don't want to become stuck under one especially in heavy traffic. You did a good job of making sure you didn't damage your truck or the bridge. 👏👏
FYI, that taillight that doesn't always work could be a bad ground, pull it out and clean up both the light fixture and the truck frame where the light fixture makes contact with the truck frame. If you still have problems after that, then replace the light.
Yeah, I'm pulling it off today.
I have seen with dump trucks, the bed pivot pins are usually greased. Grease creates high resistance. These pivots pins are the only electrical ground points.
Adding a heavy & very flexible ground cable from the bed to the truck frame, insures a good ground for lights, vibrators, and tarps ect.
🔥🔥dump truck driver
The type of light she is using has a plug with 3 wires. The trouble is that dirt gets in the plug and prevents it from making a good complete connection. Then vibration can cause the plug to come loose. Take the light out and blow out the plug and socket with compressed air. Then put some copper compound anti seize on the male portion of the plug. Push it firmly into the socket and reassemble. That should fix it. Does for me anyway.
@@DauminiqueTheDumpTruckDriver tail lights copper anti seize gives a good connection that aside hauling break out concrete is real hard on aluminium i put puck board on the bed of the truck helps big time no rips or tears good insurance i tell ya
Good morning & God bless you all today
Soon as I saw 10’5 my heart sank. You handled it like a true professional. I have plenty of pictures of Super Truckers nailing low bridges. Great job
Tape measure, dear! They never lie! Lol! But I have just eased up to them, that works too! Ten years over the road, you wouldn’t believe some of the stories and things I’ve seen! I’ve seen tractor trailers, t-boned in the middle of the trailer, because the road ramped up on the other side! Better to be safe than sorry, 10 years and no accidents! That record speaks for itself! Enjoyed your video! Drive safe!
U made the 100% right call by backing out and finding a new way around that, Such amazing video
Glad you liked it!
@@DauminiqueTheDumpTruckDriver i love the country side views in the video too
Good job checking your clearance. Your such a professional 👍. Thanks for sharing and stay safe.
Your a very smart and tough lady when you can do the work that a lot of men can,t do
I remembered rebuilding a 1953 Dodge Dumptruck had bend in lift my Dad carefully removed Heated the bend used large Oak beams in large press tell tried it reinstalled its worked great I've had good memories driving it yeah under aged 13 years old back in 70's thanks 😊 👍
Beautiful lady and true professional.
Great job dealing with that bridge a lot of drivers would have just went on and damaged something. I always look forward to your vids they are put together so well and you are a professional in all you do hope you make millions in all your endeavors.
I really appreciate your support!
Great video, you are a true professional and show how it should be done. Both you and your truck are looking fantastic.
Hahaha! So true! We've had other trucks go under the bridge! Yeah, that's trucking. No matter what you drive or what you're hauling. Learning all about dump trucks and reaches, trailers watching you! Be well.
And never blindly trust the government by trusting the posted height.
Always buckle that seatbelt, it saved my life yesterday morning, i was hit head on by a jeep Cherokee. My Mack was totaled but i walked away with 4 broken ribs and my right shoulder messed up a little.
You had it! But Better safe then sorry, and always take care of the truck, and it will take care of you!
Holy crap that is a low bridge, I can well imagine the number of victims its collected over the years and would include RV's and so on, no way would even a two wheel drive farm tractor with cab and stacks fit under that, I have had to cut farm tractor exhaust stacks and highway tractor stacks way down just so I could get it into a shed with a door height a foot taller then the bridge you experimented to see if you could slip under. I've had that same annoying issue with a tail light on one of my trucks and in my case it was corrosion and next to nothing left of one of the connections, tap on the light and it would work LOL. Pulled the light out and saw the problem, soldered on a new pigtail and new light and grommet. I now have a small stash of tail lights, pigtails and the rubber grommets as those grommets get hard over time and the light rattles around in it and yet would break the light to pry it out of that rock hard rubber grommet.
I am getting mixed fill from a local landscaper. He needed a place to get rid of it. Watching them dump their small 4 yard trucks is too scary. They are not careful about making sure the truck is not to un-level side to side. The last two loads were pretty wet and it didn't want to slide out. I was hoping the truck didn't tip or them bend something.
Great to see a women work and get her hands dirty, ! Good job! 👍🌅
Rule 1 in trucking, always know the height of you're truck. And always be cautious when someone says oh you can make it! Great job being cautious! 👍 Another thing to consider, maybe you just clear it loaded but after you dump and gain a little height from your suspension are you going to clear it on the way back empty? Excellent video Dauminique! 👍😎
Hey Daum, thx for the video & Ur professionalism shows thru! :-) Always nice to watch & have a great wkend!
The music for this video, is awesome
First time I was on the Brooklyn Queens Expressway in New York, the signs on the first bridge said 12’6”. The truck ahead of me said, 13’6” will fit. So, I followed him. He was right. All the bridges were marked like that, but the locals knew better.
Don’t do that in Chicago though. 12’6 is real! Chicago has tons of low bridges.
I don’t blindly trust our bridge hight signs. I’ve seen to many trucks hit bridges.
I'm a heavy haul/oversize guy, and I NEVER trust a bridge height sign, or anybody telling me "yeah, you can fit". Too many of these rookies buy a cheap car GPS which doesn't list the bridge heights, weight restrictions or truck routes, then they make a nice new trailer a convertible and wonder why. Do your due diligence and check marked bridges yourself, and always know your height, including your stacks.
Here in N.Y and Long Island the Bridge’s are marked one foot less than they are to allow for repaving / repairs . which is done about every 20 minutes here you could make a career here out of just driving dump trucks with asphalt on the highway jobs / park way repaving
had a friend spend 2-6am trying to get under an "L" in Chicago.
@@petem6291 I have a buddy in Nashville where road repair is endemic. He says asphalt is a natural resource in TN.
Great video. Glad to see you're still working. Hope everybody's doing well. Take care and have a blessed day and I'll see you on your next video.
Thanks, you too.
I always hated having to haul asphalt. But I was asked to help with hauling asphalt to pave New York State thruway at $87 dollars per load which i couldn't turn down. Ended up doing 67 load in 24 hours. Great pay day.
When a road is sloped in a curve that is called a 'super'. Term used by highway builders and county, state too. The crown is usually taken out when going into a super.
I was sitting at JEV waiting to load crushed asphalt when the notice pops up on my phone that you have a new video, and her you are dumping asphalt at JEV. 😂
haha that was Wednesday.
Great video Dauminique
Your experience shows Dauminique . I drive a peterbilt dump truck and 18 wheeler with tall stacks and have been in the same situation numerous times
That's why most of us run an elbows that don't go above the body (mine is just above the top of my cab by a couple inches and under my full head board) or have pipes that don't go much above the truck body. Low over head structures and hardwood tree branches are brutal on the exhaust... ironically my truck is parked under a big maple tree right now airing up
great video. U R a Rockstar, in my 22 years driving dump truck , I have never seen the tire wash
You know at the end of the day it doesn’t matter what I think anyway I do think what you’re doing starting your own company is a wonderful thing you should have every body’s respect in the world for that a lot more people should be like you
And my wife won’t drive my 90 Suburban due to its size. You make driving your dump truck look easy.
Music, spot on👍🏻👍🏻
Good awareness to get out check your clearance, that saved you a big headache.
Agreed! I would have been in so much trouble with the boss.
@@DauminiqueTheDumpTruckDriver
I thought you were the boss?? 🤷😂

@@DauminiqueTheDumpTruckDriver
I know!
The country looks nice and green there at the moment
I love the hair new color ,looks way better then the blonde, love it and you good job guys BigAl.
Hello Ms D, if I may, When working on equipment, trucks etc, especially in the workshop & benches, I always found using a DROP sheet such as an old thick blanket very useful. Helps with your work space environment like easier on your knees and clothes, tools and parts don't roll away, a lot quieter AND much easier to clean up later. Catches oil and fluid drops and rubbish and the like. Hope this tip helps D. Cheers JP from Australia
Yep, I use a old cardboard box ! If I'm up and down alot I use a a styrofoam cushion for knees ,
Good job
Hats off to your skills.
I find it challenging enough to get from point A to point B with my 13’6”x53
OTR.
So glad this wasn't another video with the bridge setting on the truck because the driver "thought he could make it"
Just a suggestion, my shop put gladhands and pigtail connections on the trailer reach. Helps prevent things getting where they did not belong.
First time viewer. Recently retired 42 yrs. driver. Good job being slow & careful @ the low bridge & not damaging your equipment. Always know your length, width, and especially height. Drive carefully & stay safe.
That is why all our trucks have a sticker on the dashboard telling them exact height. Thankfully you didn't tear up the truck. Keep up the good work.😎👍
Nice To Ride With You Today Thank You!!
Keep Smiling On!!
😀👍👊
Very good thank you
That’s why we have the possibility to lower our trucks with the air suspension. I can lower my truck and trailer 4” if needed
Oh I wish my pup had glad hands. We have quick connects instead and they get all rusty. I'm with the county so in the winter we have the sander on the back. We mix salt in with our sand, though no where near what WSDOT does. So you can imagine how rusty and corroded those quick connects get. Interestingly we do have glad hands mounted in the front of our trucks in the event they need to be towed - or at least that's what I've been told they were for.
Washington doesn’t use salt. Thats why our cars are not rusty like a lot of the country.
God bless you
So I got my hat and hoodies! What a true professional! A driver that gets out and checks the bed of their truck. So many of my coworkers cross contaminate loads! Lazy! Everyone of my boss's would have told me to walk aka fired me! Maybe yellow or orange hi vis tees so I don't have to wear a vest with Beyond on Dirt! Thanks Dauminique!
I glad to see that you understand that when you don't fit under a low bridge. You just don't floor it, and hope that you make it. Where I live they have a bridge that is 12,'0 on one side, but 11'2 on the other side. It gets hit so many times.
Yeah this one was different heights on each side. I wouldn’t want to damage anything on my truck or the bridge.
@@DauminiqueTheDumpTruckDriver exactly
You, my dear, are one heck of an operator! I’m thinkin your videos should be other companies training videos! Keep up your high standards! Oh and I love my Beyond Dirt shirt!! 👍👍
Your stacks are stacked just right. 😉
Hey Dauminique ... TGIF at least it's not raining. We use a grease product from 3M can't think of the name to keep contacts clean. Great video. Totally agree of finding another route I was butt picked, I would be like nope not going to happen 😲. That was beautiful country and farm land. Hope you and your family have a great weekend. 🙋😎👍
Top parabéns
Hey hey beautiful Dauminique the Dump truck driver keep up the great work on your channel also keep up the great work on driving dump truck a beautiful woman like u look good in the driver seat u definitely my favorite TH-camr
Nice video, love you all!
Did the right thing by checking. Another TH-camr (Ron Pratt) used the acronym GOAL (get out and look), which is exactly what you did, so good job, and good judgement! Also couldn’t help but laugh at the CB conversation with the other driver towards the end, after he mentions you may be able to go under.
“I tried, but I’m about 2 inches too tall.”
“Damn! Close!”
Good work sweetie great driving
A true professional. Never take word for it. Good job.
Thanks for update glad you didn't break up your truck and your rockin the hairdo
Another enjoyable video
One tail light out drivers side , nice thanks BigAl California, that a lot of work getting pup off the pintal nice good job beautiful, thanks Praise Jesus Christ grace amen
Great judgment young Lady. Many years when I drove, If I was hauling a 13.6 Trailer or Container and I wasn't sure I always got out and looked
If for some reason if I was driving a different Tractor very often the fifth wheel would be a different height maybe a inch or more.
So you were always aware of this. Good for you as you saved damage and money. I enjoy your videos thanks so much for posting.
Whenever you were filming the Chevy COE at 9:30, I thought the truck was gonna go over the edge. Lol! The anticipation was killing me. 😬
Silly question, but have you never thought of buying a height measuring stick for the truck and trailers? That would just remove all guesswork.
Im 65 been driving all my life i learn not us only cell GPS but us truckers GPS and told school map is always matched all to pick right away never fall me but GPS will saw a lot of drivers get stuck n bad places
Love the hammer from your TOMBOY TOOL BOX! love your vids!
Hey always enjoy the videos good job
Young lady when someone says ah yes you can make it under the bridge, ive seen trucks go under it all the time BEWARE....They probably saw a Ford pickup truck go under. Beware of Joliet Illinois. I barely barely touched corner of my trailer back in 1976
The biggest mistake drivers make with the bridges is if the pavement was repaved over the old pavement then the clearance is different than the sign and then guaranteed you can’t get under it.
After repaving under bridges it should be mandatory to release height and post the new height
Loading asphalt into aluminum box is ok if they're willing to pad the box with a couple inches of other material. I was always fussy and haul anything bigger than surge stone in mine. But the asphalt isn't very hard.
The floor is steel
@@DauminiqueTheDumpTruckDriver better yet. I can understand your caution. Your truck is much nicer than my first one.
Good work and looking lovely
Your professionalism is what will keep your insurance rates low. When in doubt, get out and check it out!
As always another great video. I love the fact that you didn't just take someone's word that you could fit under the bridge. An ounce of caution is worth more than a lb. of cure. Back in the day when I drove otr and in Chicago I did my best to stay out of the far right lane. The reason being I always felt that if the bridge was low it would be at the end. I noticed that the scales shot water out in order to clean your wheels and to try and keep the mud off the scales. Keep up the hard work and being professional in all you do. Prayers to you and your family.
Not a trucker. Wondered about the water. Thanks.
It’s called a wheel wash. It’s to keep the dirt off of the roads.
You were working pretty close to my work! :) Loved this week's show. Thanks!
Low bridges can be bad for business. Noted. Never rush into things. Saved you alot of money and time that can't be replaced.
Hi, Dauminique and Happy Friday the 13th!😊😊😊😊😊. Your new dump truck is awesome with more horsepower, better acceleration, more top speed, and incredible handling!💙💙💙💙💙💙💙👍. Also, I love dump trucks when I was a teenager and saw one of them on the freeways.😎☀⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐👍. WOW!!😍👍
Even if you could have made it under the bridge loaded ,you never would have made it back under the bridge empty . You did it right .
Maybe maybe not. My suspension is pretty ridged.
Thought about airbags for the front end? That way you could lower it when encountering these obstacles.
Your videos are OSSUM! Keep sharing
Excellent video being an owner driver can be expensive 🇬🇧🤠🇺🇸 just go with the flow love from England 🇬🇧🚛🚛🚛🚛🚛
I know i always tell you to “keep it between the ditches”. What im suppose to say to that? “ keep it under the girders?”
Theres a bridge here in Durham Nc. Go to 11’8” on youtube. Once a month a truck goes under and splits it like a can opener. You were smart to go around!!!
Great video Dom! Awesome to see the truck in action!
Careful caution... difference between an owner/driver and a driver!
👍Thanks for sharing 👍 I used to work in the area and farm trucks go on the wrong side 👎because of the pavement issues
That ol truck is about ready for the bone yard. Time to step up.
Lol what?
you looked 🔥 in your hard hat!! Just a compliment!!!
I appreciate that
Love To See Females Behind The Wheel, Keep On Trucking 💪🏿💯
So cool to see you driving roads and areas I have driven myself, not as a truck driver but as a construction inspector! Love the videos and it’s awesome to see you building your dreams! Will keep my eye out for your rig on site!
Great video…thank you
Semi 40ft stuck under bridge Crain's fork lifts wreckers police viechels everware.
No one could get it out.
Up walks a 4 year old boy with his Mom. And he says, "let the air out of the tires and you'll get her out. ".. Yup..!
I love your videos
Thanks!!!
Got to love that old one " had bigger in here drive"
Thanks!
Take the tail light out and clean the metal around the light and the frame, it maybe a bad ground being that you spun it and it worked.
That tail light is rubber mounted, doesn't touch anything metal. But does have its own ground wire.
@@sohomesick1 ... It should be rubber mounted but if you listen as she turns the light it sounds like there is metal to metal ( could be dirt) but
it is a bad ground in my opinion.
