That skidshitter risked his life and the licenses of those drivers. Never operate around a backing truck never mind one that is dumping! He's got all day to spread that when the trucks go for another load!
You are definitely in tune with your machine, good operating. I've been in the pit waiting to load and the loader is off somewhere else moving material, by the time he shows up all the trucks are waiting to load. Got to get empty to haul to the next customer, beats sitting there with no material to work with. Keep up the good work!
Sorry folks but a big loader wouldn't do any better since they take so much room to maneuver. I have experience with trying to use a loader to spread rock in a small area, it doesn't take long to turn into Austin Powers pulling a u-turn in a narrow hallway.
In Italy we had the same prob. I was building a new state road in North Italy, there were 24 trucks that were transporting gravel from a quarry 14 km far. The excavator had a timing of 2 minutes for truck loading. They was coming to the dozer 12 a time. I was curious,I stalked a truck from a distance, there was at half the trail a little road on the right among the trees,beyond the trees a small van-cafe in the van a pretty blonde girl who was making coffee. Trucks were all around as a circle of wagons. All of them just to watch the blonde .Now I console myself, not just the Italian drivers
But it's so much fun to convoy these dump trucks !! I was always conscious of this , but the bosses son wanted us to convoy for what ever reason,But even when we waited for him,he still funked us up,so I just left him settin.
you have youe cluster truckers and your lone wolf guys. i always run out ahead because i cant stand getting stuck in a cluster or going waaaaaaaaay slow. get the loads in and go.
The reason they all come at the same time is because truckers all like to eat lunch together then show up at the job with 5 fully loaded trucks. Then they all leave and you have to wait around for 2 hours doing nothing.
For the people that have no idea what is going on, could someone explain what they are laying down and why how does the crew know where it goes and how much to put where?
Been truckin' a long time. First guy has brains enough to space himself out from earlier loads so that the bunch up doesn't happen. All the ones in the back weren't experienced enough to spread out some. Gonna have to call dispatch and spread out the times.....
+karebehr I drive a dump truck and thats usually the way it is lol the first truck has directions and dispatcher tells the rest to follow the first truck there.
Are you using screenings or compaction stone for that fill? Yes there are some dump truck companies that operate like women going to the bathroom together. The guy in the blue quint needs to learn how to dump a pile I take it.
It looks like all the drivers stopped somewhere for a coffee break together. I use to drive and that's what would happen. I hated it as a equipment operator. But the operator of the compactor looks to be doing a decent job seems to be getting good compaction. If I was you I would ask those drivers to try to keep some distance so you have time to work between the trucks.
Good operator on the skid steer,....god bless power shifting.....Are sure you can tolerate that screamin' gimmy ? I remember running the older Raygo Vibratory Rollers,...a tad larger but about the same size engines,...jeez those GM 2-strokes,..efficient but n o i s e y .
...I'm trying to figure out why these guys are trying to compact crusher fines...looks like they needed structural fill...and somebody sent them crusher fines instead...which won't compact because they have no clay content...basically rock dust...
that's were you are wrong.. crusher fines make great structural fill! watched civil gang dig boxes for concrete bases in the same material and not one bit of caving in was present
You did not need to wait for next load. But sometimes they are hour betveen truck loads. So when do they find the thing betveen every second and every hour...😊
Just bought a brand new Bobcat T590 and I make $1500 a day with it. Also have a S130 and its a work horse 🐎. Ive seen maybe 1 or 2 Takeuchis around my area cuz there is no dealer. They all have thier negatives and positives. But they all make money if you know what you are doing.
Yes and as for loading docks...They arrive at once, hound the guard to sign them in immediately, then drag their feet backing into the dock and lazily walking in to the shipping office with the paperwork. When they did that shit, I would change the In time to the time they handed me the paperwork. FUCKEM.
parteibonza i was an otr driver for jest over 4 years. there were many times i would show up on time to my delivery only to have to what 4 to 6 hours to get unloaded. yes i was a refer driver but stuff like that is why so many drivers become assholes becouse half are day is wasted waiting to get unloaded or loaded
chris Pope hi chris i know... i was both - truck driver and dozer and excavator and whellloader driver thats just the way it is ... lol somewhen you wait and somewhen you dont know what to do , so much work and material take care and don t get stressed lol
Haha that must have been just after smoko. As good as you are in the track loader, you'd need 4 running to keep up with those truck drivers. I feel under the pump when two trucks come at the same time, so to have six...that sucks.
Ashen Shugar quit crying a lot of babies in the world today everyone's afraid of a little hard work. What do you want the trucks to do sit around and wait? FFS!!
Why does that pacher thing have to run all wrapped-out like that? It runs so slow but it Seems like its ready to blow up and take out the whole construction site.
+parteibonza it's a 2-stroke diesel, as kyle said, a Detroit, sound loud but are functioning fine. simple little engines, they use a very similar thing in nitro RC cars/trucks.
+parteibonza The engine also has to be revved up to power the hydraulic vibrator inside the compacting drum (which is probably why the camera is shaking!).
Yep. Been there bud.i always use several different trucking co to try and prevent it drivers dont care about YOUR job. oh. The 471 in the roller rocks. Lol lol
I tell them in the morning if you bunch up I will sign your butt out. I had 7 on a job, second day nobody for a hour and a half." oh we are stuck in traffic" when I called I had checked my phone's traffic map and there was nothing got in my truck drove 10 minutes found them all taking a break, the waitress said they been there for 45 minutes. I signed them all out the owner of the company came by and told them they would never work for him again.
Surprised he doesn't have a safety vest on or at least brighter clothes!!! ~ Mercy me, just an accident waiting to happen Chris. (Must be a inspector?) lol ? ~~ PeaceOut, James
Safety vest won’t save you..... common sense will...... don’t be stupid and get out of the way or at least brighter intelligence.......... Mercy me that’s using your brains what was I thinking ....lol
If I am not mistaken, it pushes deeper for a tighter pack than a standard compactor. Kind of like filling in a post hole, if you fill the hole up and use a flat plate to press you will still be able to move the post. But fill the hole 1/4 way use the shovel handle to push everything tight and repeat until full. It will be like concrete.
f0rumrr sheepsfoot drum on a compacted is better for fatty clays that are more likely to have voids in them. Smooth rollers are usually used for street subgrade
You pack up around us you will be looking for something else to do It is an unsafe job site for one thing and a waste of equipment time waiting for the pack on top that We also keep them spaced and load loged so there is no truck parked at the coffee shop
Are these hired trucks, or your own? We abandoned using hired trucks years ago because they were completely unreliable, always stopping in between runs, grabbing coffee, or when you ask for 6 trucks, you get 2...lol
Hi , Is there a "marriage law or clause " on delivery trucks in your area letsdig18 ? But, there could be a reason in the handling of the material in the fast dumping style?. This comment is NOT knocking you in anyway. I know it is extremely easy to be an "armchair operator" I have had time in the seat since 1972 , retired in after disability of the back and Rheumatoid arthritis. Mid 90's I think. Letsdig18, I have been viewing your videos for close to a year now. I appreciate your ability to operate the equipment very well, also you seem to have a fair amount of engineering from schooling.Or, maybe you got your engineering knowledge from O.J.T.. I appreciate your posts ,Thanks, God Bless to you and all on your job. Banjo Greg.
I seen that happen multiple times at different construction sites that I have attended it makes for nice recording when you're doing audio but it kind of sucks for the operator though I don't really see that as a fiasco I just see that is a coincidence more or less
Sheeps-foot rollers compact better. Smooth drum rollers work best fro prepping something like asphalt/concrete etc, where the end product needs to be smooth
Gotta love the sound of that tailgate banging off the dump body right after a unload
Loved the way the skidsteer scurried back and forth spreading out that fill. Like a busy little beetle getting job well done.
That skidshitter risked his life and the licenses of those drivers. Never operate around a backing truck never mind one that is dumping! He's got all day to spread that when the trucks go for another load!
stop it nancy
Thomas Nixon i
They all went to the restaurant together after they loaded! lol :)
You are definitely in tune with your machine, good operating. I've been in the pit waiting to load and the loader is off somewhere else moving material, by the time he shows up all the trucks are waiting to load. Got to get empty to haul to the next customer, beats sitting there with no material to work with. Keep up the good work!
that's how they do it! they can leave at different times but arrive at the exact same time.
atvrider028 they doesn't to get lost. Gotta play follow the leader
atvrider028 Advantages of having Citizen Band Radios and Mobile Phones Are Driver Coordination.
The wee man in the skid steer is pretty good at his job. He's flying!
Sorry folks but a big loader wouldn't do any better since they take so much room to maneuver. I have experience with trying to use a loader to spread rock in a small area, it doesn't take long to turn into Austin Powers pulling a u-turn in a narrow hallway.
I sure don't see a "fiasco". Beats sitting there waiting on them.
As we say in England, you can't do enough for a good boss !
The animal hospital might beat that but man that's crazy. Love the 2 cycle detroit diesel compactor! No earmuffs too!
love that high tech compaction tester
if it works... ;-)
Been there and done that! Happens to me a lot when building drill pads with gravel trucks! Nice video though!
Now that's a skid steer operator. Almost like watching a time lapse.
Hey Chris what kind of fill is that you spreading?
Good skid steer loader operating !
I learned a long time ago that a lot of trucks all at once is better than no trucks arriving when needed
In Italy we had the same prob. I was building a new state road in North Italy, there were 24 trucks that were transporting gravel from a quarry 14 km far. The excavator had a timing of 2 minutes for truck loading. They was coming to the dozer 12 a time.

But it's so much fun to convoy these dump trucks !! I was always conscious of this , but the bosses son wanted us to convoy for what ever reason,But even when we waited for him,he still funked us up,so I just left him settin.
Bet that took some training that compact tester.His previous job was watching paint dry😂🇬🇧
you have youe cluster truckers and your lone wolf guys. i always run out ahead because i cant stand getting stuck in a cluster or going waaaaaaaaay slow. get the loads in and go.
Wouldn't think that they would all come at the same time because their may not be enough dumping space
The reason they all come at the same time is because truckers all like to eat lunch together then show up at the job with 5 fully loaded trucks. Then they all leave and you have to wait around for 2 hours doing nothing.
you need a loader, but you wont even know it until you have one.....
Something tells me that there was a faster operator on the other end! I love hearing that 4-53 Jimmy scream away like that, cant beat an ol 2 stroke!
4-53 Jimmy? You mean a Detroit? Jimmy is a GMC truck
Jimmy was also the nick name for damned near anything with a Detroit engine. Because Detroit was GMC
Love the videos!
For the people that have no idea what is going on, could someone explain what they are laying down and why how does the crew know where it goes and how much to put where?
Must be just after dinner break. Thats how I see it when I am hauling.
Also I think its time to invest in a loader even if it's an old one.
DFPFilms1 he has one.. in a couple videos getting new tires.. skid steers are much quicker and accurate
So is that clay getting mixed in?
Been truckin' a long time. First guy has brains enough to space himself out from earlier loads so that the bunch up doesn't happen. All the ones in the back weren't experienced enough to spread out some. Gonna have to call dispatch and spread out the times.....
7:20.., I am sure that guy standing holding that pipe is exhausted when he gets home at night.
1st truck has directions to job site....last truck has directions to the pit....gotta stay together or they'd get lost! LMAO!
+karebehr I drive a dump truck and thats usually the way it is lol the first truck has directions and dispatcher tells the rest to follow the first truck there.
karebehr
What are you hauling that you need 2 drag axles?
No rest for the wicked 😃
what was that stuff you where laying chris ?
Looks like you need another track loader! Case mabey!! Hahaha
what was the guy doing with the wiaght on the pole an also what are you operating
yeah it's amazing how they all can get load at the exact same time...
Look at as job security. Lots of trucks, lots of work!
The choreography was fascinating.
Was the excavator broken?
Truckers are like city workers. They say they work hard but end up waiting at every job site.
At least it's nice fine material and easy to work with.
Well if ya have a real machine like a Cat 936 loader instead if that toy you could keep up, plus get some compaction out of the tires too.
Less like a Fiasco and more like a Fandango.
Somebody had Harsh Words with a Dump Truck Driver and today was payback time.
Are you using screenings or compaction stone for that fill? Yes there are some dump truck companies that operate like women going to the bathroom together. The guy in the blue quint needs to learn how to dump a pile I take it.
If someone told them where to dump you could save lot of work.
It looks like all the drivers stopped somewhere for a coffee break together. I use to drive and that's what would happen. I hated it as a equipment operator. But the operator of the compactor looks to be doing a decent job seems to be getting good compaction. If I was you I would ask those drivers to try to keep some distance so you have time to work between the trucks.
RJM@54 2/25/2018
what is the gray stuff they are dumping and spreading out on the ground
Sometimes called processed stone, stone dust, 3/4'' minus, etc
Holly bunch of dump trucks batman!
Of course they sent you the biggest dumpers they could find!!!!
Wonder if the roller operator hears detroit diesel in his sleep?
D4 needed here
Good operator on the skid steer,....god bless power shifting.....Are sure you can tolerate that screamin' gimmy ? I remember running the older Raygo Vibratory Rollers,...a tad larger but about the same size engines,...jeez those GM 2-strokes,..efficient but n o i s e y .
They do a real good job of converting diesel to noise
...I'm trying to figure out why these guys are trying to compact crusher fines...looks like they needed structural fill...and somebody sent them crusher fines instead...which won't compact because they have no clay content...basically rock dust...
Paradise Road Was about to say the same thing. The clay should have been compacted first.
that's were you are wrong.. crusher fines make great structural fill! watched civil gang dig boxes for concrete bases in the same material and not one bit of caving in was present
I don't see what the fiasco is?
Lol Silverado Trucking. Their guys are a trip.
RIP ears..
This might be a dump question but, why not have them dump where the dirt is going?
You did not need to wait for next load. But sometimes they are hour betveen truck loads. So when do they find the thing betveen every second and every hour...😊
Dam drivers waitin for each other at the store aint they...
That Takeuchi is a money making machine. I've been thinking of selling my bobcat...
Just bought a brand new Bobcat T590 and I make $1500 a day with it. Also have a S130 and its a work horse 🐎. Ive seen maybe 1 or 2 Takeuchis around my area cuz there is no dealer. They all have thier negatives and positives. But they all make money if you know what you are doing.
what was the fiasco?
Not good drivers! after you dump you go get another load, you dont wait for all the trucks to dump then hold eachothers hands back to the quarry. lol
The CB doesn’t reach very far I guess
Ratchet jaw drivers
How funny. this was me Earlier this week on a new jobsite
Looks like you might need a full on front loader
dude has the wrong roller for that type of material compaction
Really? Looks like fines or fine fill prob doesnt even need compaction but theyre doing it. More comments from peanut gallery
yepp- sometimes they come like a herd lol
Yes and as for loading docks...They arrive at once, hound the guard to sign them in immediately, then drag their feet backing into the dock and lazily walking in to the shipping office with the paperwork.

hi chris
i know...
i was both - truck driver and dozer and excavator and whellloader driver
thats just the way it is ... lol
somewhen you wait and somewhen you dont know what to do , so much work and material
take care and don t get stressed lol
Yea...Don't e.v.e.r. let them dirt daubers stop for lunch together! 🤟🏽🐻
Can someone explain the fiasco please?
Sometimes, i think they re like sheep, always stay together
It always happens that way ! i hated when that happen .
Haha that must have been just after smoko. As good as you are in the track loader, you'd need 4 running to keep up with those truck drivers. I feel under the pump when two trucks come at the same time, so to have six...that sucks.

its run by a 2 stroke detroit diesel
They only come back spread out when you want it all at once

Youre spreading the process with a landscapers toy.
Hehehehe, you finally broke our code......
Who is running that skid steer at 300mph?! Lol
Surprised he doesn't have a safety vest on or at least brighter clothes!!!

Mercy me, just an accident waiting to happen Chris.

lol
?

Of coarse he's the Inspector- they are immune to everyone else's common safety rules and reg's!

Whats the purpose of a studded compacter?
If I am not mistaken, it pushes deeper for a tighter pack than a standard compactor. Kind of like filling in a post hole, if you fill the hole up and use a flat plate to press you will still be able to move the post. But fill the hole 1/4 way use the shovel handle to push everything tight and repeat until full. It will be like concrete.

I am in charge... you dump where I want you to dump... grow some balls!!!!
Why use the bobcat over the excavator?
Some people can not follow instructions!
They are in cahoots with the soil engineers.
Are these hired trucks, or your own? We abandoned using hired trucks years ago because they were completely unreliable, always stopping in between runs, grabbing coffee, or when you ask for 6 trucks, you get 2...lol
Back in the day when i worked construction we loved doing that to a new operator :)
So you chose to be part of the problem and not part of the solution.
I ran into so many like you
was just ment to be humerous, back then we weren't as thin skinned as most are now a days
Ha Ha You got me bud
What r they building
Wow
Sandbagging lol
Guess the guy on the roller is paid by the hour :)

You need a smooth barrel drum packer
Sheeps-foot rollers compact better. Smooth drum rollers work best fro prepping something like asphalt/concrete etc, where the end product needs to be smooth
does the packer have to be at full throttle the entire time? geez

Lllllll Yuri is ii
you've never operated one obviously
unless it has a vibrator I see no point in it, obviously
Jay Allen the packer has the old 2 stroke Detroit in it that's why it sounds like that
All pneumatic packers have to be revved up to make the Vibratory work properly! If you Idle it back the whole Machine will bounce off the ground!
Truckers have only one fueltank... common fueltank :(
