    I've mentioned to you that I have seen asphalt paving before from the pedestrians perspective. But I've never seen it from the dump trucks perspective, this was freaking awesome. I watched all those hand signals just as you did, I think you and I were in sync. Although I must admit I was surprised he kept having you raise and lower the box a bunch of times. I am guessing some asphalt was sticking to your box, and needed to be given a little what for. And no, Covid didn't go away, as we all know now, its gotten far worse.

    Have you ever torn down a powerline? On my first job as an inspector we tore down two in one shift. Granted it was night time but we did. The power company wasn't too happy.

      @its skinny icne just enough so it remains flush with the rollers on the paver pretty much barely applying pressure oh and be sure to roll up your mud flaps before you start

    Good morning Dan when you riding your brakes on your dump truck does it hurt the brakes doing the job that you do

    • @dansvlogtrucking
      @dansvlogtrucking  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      When it comes to brakes, heat is the enemy. Riding the brakes at slow speeds doesn’t necessarily hurt the braking system but of course friction is involved therefore the brakes will need to be replaced eventually

    Probably stupid question but is it hard to drive under the silo to get filled up? Looks super tight

    • @dansvlogtrucking
      @dansvlogtrucking  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      It is hard for those who left their paint behind!! Lol I see a lot of blue and white and black and red stripes on some of the frame work at some of the asphalt plants. It’s tight. Just have to remember the shape of your truck and ease into position

    Hey brother what’s the rules with tri axles in Ga ? I’m looking to purchase a truck but don’t know what allowed

    • @dansvlogtrucking
      @dansvlogtrucking  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      In Georgia, a tri-axle dump truck is not recognized. You are only allowed to have the two drive axles and your steer axles on the ground and you’re only allowed to carry a maximum total gross weight to include a vehicle and a load of 64,000 pounds. If you were on an interstate in Georgia you are only allowed to be 53,000 pounds total
