My son has 20 years experience with these frameless dumps. He has never tipped one but on a few rare occasions he has refused to dump in certain spots because they would have been a risk. He is also aware of this danger with loads frozen in the bed and is mindful of that as well.
@ you are absolutely correct and a good driver is smart enough to recognize potential problems. I know my son on occasion has refused to haul a load or dump one unless he could do it in a safer way. Didnt happen often but did happen. Some drivers buckle to the pressure and thats when accidents happen.
@ thanks my son has been doing it alot of years now. He is currently driving with Penske trucking out of a depot here in WV. His main loads have been aluminum coils and plate out of Kaiser as his company has a contract with them. But for years he worked for R&J Trucking and a independent operator Chris Drayer those were all mostly all frameless buckets.

I watched a real veteran truck driver roll one of those rigs over in Cheyenne, WY in 1993... dumping snow! Sad, sad day, the truck had 19 hours on it, the trailer was brand new and the driver retired right after. Beautiful blue W900 right here.
@ Yes, you got to be careful and evaluate your surroundings.For frameless I see four rear axle wheels teader tottering and during a dump, and only a third of the tires, contacting the ground vs eight or more wheels on the ground during dumping.Its a big difference .

Thats a lot of weight on one axle when it tips. It looks nice and shiny new, but i wouldn't want to be next to it on a 5 degree grade or strong wind. To my mind it's a whole lot of problems waiting for an opportunity to show you.
This guy wouldn't dump on a 5 degree grade or in a strong wind.. To run a truck like that obviously you can't be just anyone that drives a truck you have to know what you're doing..
@@alastor5275 Well that would be the problem with it then wouldn't it? Whats the point of having a trailer that you may not be able to use when you get to a site. What if there was a soft spot under just one of those rear wheels, the whole thing would tip right over.
@@General_Confusion that's what I'm saying he probably picks and chooses his jobs and is more than willing to show of his shiny truck on nice level solid packed ground for the video!!!
I wished all the dump sites I've dumped at were this level. I've had to dump in high winds, on sand, and soft spongy soil. They will tip, I never laid mine down, several close calls though. I pulled a box, not a barrel like the one in this video. The company I pulled for had a couple barrel beds. They're lighter weight and allows you to haul more material. Most of the time your paid by the weight, so you want a light weight trailer. My trailer had a 10' spread axle, which allowed us to scale more.
We run East Genesis frame dumps. Great trailers, but last week the sun reflected off the front of a trailer and melted the dash of the day cab tractor.
I knew a dirt contractor in South Ms that ran a lot of short frameless Palmer dump trailers. They used a single point suspension. They dumped pretty fast and were good off-road.

Randy Whelan I can believe how many People that Commented on how bad this setup is are uneducated on it. This setup meets Federal Bridge Law Formula/System Nationwide and isn’t Limited to a Few Local States that May Recognize it. It Can also Be Cheaper than a 5,6, or 7 Axle Setup If Done Right. It Is also more Versatile than a Dump Truck as it can Hook & Unhook to Different Trailers un Like a Dump Truck which is Limited to one Application and for Only Part of the Year.
By the time he gets the trailer all the way up your quad would have dumped and be back on the road going for another load. Probably doesnt haul much more then quad.
I'm guessing by the lack of any type of narration that this truck has rendered you completely and utterly speechless !!!!! Haha. That is a sexy rig !!!
In Virginia, don't know about NC, that trailer will haul 24.5 tons, compared to 18 - 20 tons for the quad. That's 20 percent per load, save a trip every 5 loads. Don't need to remove the tarp while dumping, the load is far below the top.
I see a lot of comments about these end dumps tipping over a lot. It's true they do but if you know what you are doing you won't have any problems with tipping. Been doing it for years and my father-in-law many more years neither one of us have laid a trailer over yet (knocking on wood lol)
@@holmes1956O the end dump semi i have shall handle at least 10% side slope. my mates that have the same trailers have sat in asphalt pavers in about 13%. carnehl trailers with sliding axles. but our rigs are heavy. over 20 metric tonns empty.
Better call and alert the FAA when that thing dumps, a plane might fly into it ! But seriously, is there a benefit to this thing ? Load looks very small ? Thumbs up !
From what I can find it seems these types of frameless dump trailers are great for specific jobs with big loads on stable surfaces. Everyone here is saying they're unstable but the fact is any dump trailer can flip easy enough if you aren't on top of things. It doesn't take a genius to realize that that style of dump trailer doesn't replace smaller & more stable trucks. It's definitely not something you want to let a new guy run, that's for sure!
@@erikthered4929 But it will be used for the wrong purposes anyway because it's there and not being used elsewhere for it's intended purpose. You gotta allow for stupidity because it's gonna happen.
ErikTheRed any time you put an end dump up in the air you are at risk of tipping over. I have 40 yrs in the business and have only had one go over. The pin on the bottom of the scope broke and she was on her side in seconds
I'm gonna say this guy really picks and chooses what and when this truck runs.

So many comments on This Guys Truck & Trailer Setup. That setup is Universal & Meets Federal Bridge Law Formula/System (He Can Haul The Same Amount Coast to Coast, UnLike Those Dump Trucks) he is not Limited to one State's Bridge Law as he would be with a Tandem, Tri-Axle or Quad Axle Dump Truck. I'm sure he is hauling the same amount (25-26 Ton) as a Quad Axle Dump Truck, maybe a little more. As far as that Trailer Being Unstable, a 40' Frameless Trailers can be Less Stable, but I have seen 35' Tri-Axle Frame Type Trailers Tip Over To. Anytime you have 35-40' in the air you risk them rolling over whether it be a Frameless or a Frame Type Trailer. The ground you are dumping on & the weather outside is a Bigger Factor than the Trailer Type. I have experience with both types of Trailers.
A lot of folks on here running their mouth without any experience pulling one of these trailers. I pull one identical to it every day and they have their place. I wouldn’t hesitate to unload where the ground is packed like in this video but I refuse to go anywhere slightly uneven or wet. And as far as payload, he’s probably got 25-30t on. Big upside to frameless aluminum dumps is they’re very lightweight. His tare weight is most likely around 28k. So he’s making more money than the guys pulling frame trailers. And the comments about it being a waste having that big of a trailer for such a small load is bs because in trucking you don’t go by cubic capacity you go by weight. He’s hauling the same as anybody else it just looks like a small pile because of density of product. Reason for this long of a trailer is he can then go load corn, beans etc and still get a load on.
Man that is one nice setup also i would put a stainless steel double hinge for those mud flaps so they well never break or crack from all the lifting i have always done custom mud flaps with back up led lights in them they last and last. Great video SIR !
At 9:40 you can see how little the pile of gravel is and how big the trailer is. Does the driver keep the tarp covering the load so you can't see how little the trailer hauls? Otherwise, nice rig.
Guess he didn't have a lot of deliveries scheduled that day. How does he stay awake? He was pulling forward slow enough to think he was delivering eggs. Chris could've put his camera on pause for a while. Well, if he's the owner, guess he knows what he's doing w/ newer equipment like he has. Sweet KW.
Pretty truck, but if you want to move material try a Michigan train or a Quad dump with a 6 axle wiggle wagon. If you have the right stuff you can straight dump the wagon and pull thru the front dump on a grade jub like this one
You can tell by the truck this guy is usually hauling a different type product to a warehouse or processing type facility. It’s way too clean for a everyday job site delivery truck.
J Rand anybody with experience knows that you get up and empty as quickly as possible. The less time screwing around with it up in the air the better. Most newbies are slow thinking that it is safer going slow that is when the shit hits the fan and the truck takes a nap
That is aNice Looking Ride, I new this Guy who had a 1976 model with a 30/36 frame dump Triaxle , 425 Cat,5X4 all Prettyed up Paid for !! and Whamo Whamo had to give it up !!!
damn little payload for such a big trailer. In Europe, we have four-axle trucks which are only half as long and take away a similar sized pile. This bling bling thing has a turning radius like a jumbo jet with this wheelbase. Totally impractical
Nice truck but should have bought a glider kit and ditched all that emissions crap. His only choice was Paccar or Cummins. It'd surprise the hell out of me if there was much left after paying the note.
I can see the mudflaps being ripped off the trailer in the back while hauling stone. Make a note of the size of the hydraulic hose that goes to the lift cylinder for the trailer can you imagine how many gallons of fluid must go through that relatively small hose to extend that cylinder and then back through the hose back into the tank.
I'll take bottom dumps every time. They keep moving while dumping hence twice as many loads as an end dump trailer. In situations where there isn't room dumps are fine. But it was a nice ride.
Brian Gardiner I get where you’re coming from but it’s so common for the drivers to not put in the pin and have the thing dump 30 tons of dirt on a highway. We don’t hire anything but tri-axles anymore because of it, just not worth the headache.
Brian Gardiner I misspoke, sorry, I meant the safety chains to keep the gate shut. Haven’t seen the things in a long time. Malfunctions in the gate and operator error caused enough of our brokered trucks to accidentally dump that we stopped running them. We don’t run our own trucks so we just stopped hiring them since the mess was still attributable to our jobs. With good drivers I can see them being great but good truck drivers are in short supply in my area.
Nice truck, but would rather have a Euro bulk tipper behind it than one of those things. Of course a Euro engine pulling it would be nice too, 700-750hp, lovely, lol!
I love all the stupid comments saying how useless this trailer is they are all over the place here on the west coast high sides and low sides and this is the best trailer to haul scrap and big rocks
Chris, how much does he bring per load? It doesn't look nearly as much as what it looks like that box could haul! That and he's slow as hell. When comparing to other tandem dumps with drop axles, is this guy's extra expense (guessing it's a lot more) worth it? Just curious. Thanks. Oh and how's the new shop coming! Will you be revealing a new "Mrs. Dig" any time soon? You've got a nice 'nest', isn't it about time your biological clock is wanting to pop out some 'mini-excavators?' (or...'boring machines!!')
its shiney... but is it worth it? slow to turn around, slow to dump, slower to lower, sketchy as frig when dumping, and can really only carry a little more then a quad axle, and likely less then a truck and trailer, legally out this way it would be limited to 74,500# because axle spacing where a t+t with enough axles could go to 105,500, and be safer... its shiney though.
Good for stock piling on level ground,dry material,and no cross wind.Has to have solid level gound.
looks like a small load for all that chrome
Aluminum
I put 50 tons in my bucket 😆

Chris, those trailers are wonderful, ON flat, level, hard ground, but never try and dump them on uneven ground or un-level ground!

Make a note of the size of the hydraulic hose that goes to the lift cylinder for the trailer can you imagine how many gallons of fluid must go through that relatively small hose to extend that cylinder and then back through the hose back into the tank.
Probably the best looking dump I've seen, but it does seem very very slow.
awesome truck and trailer setup right there. i love those type of trucks cuz they look awesome. you sould have asked the driver for some jakes sounds
That Kenworth and dump trailer are almost too pretty to use on a construction site.
It's a good thing that site is level!
I've made a good living rebuilding those cylinders and others . I kinda miss taking them off and servicing
Best drone footage so far!!
Pucker factor has to be immense every time he raises the tub
Called an end dump up in my parts. When they tip over it usually makes one hell of mess out of the trailer 😂
Fancy. But it doesn't look like it hauls more than a triaxle.
I'll take bottom dumps every time. They keep moving while dumping hence twice as many loads as an end dump trailer. In situations where there isn't room dumps are fine. But it was a nice ride.
Brian Gardiner I get where you’re coming from but it’s so common for the drivers to not put in the pin and have the thing dump 30 tons of dirt on a highway. We don’t hire anything but tri-axles anymore because of it, just not worth the headache.
@@vaanes What pins are you talking about? I'm in AZ and bottom dumps are very common. The onlt problem is if someone accidentally flips a switch.
Brian Gardiner I misspoke, sorry, I meant the safety chains to keep the gate shut. Haven’t seen the things in a long time. Malfunctions in the gate and operator error caused enough of our brokered trucks to accidentally dump that we stopped running them. We don’t run our own trucks so we just stopped hiring them since the mess was still attributable to our jobs. With good drivers I can see them being great but good truck drivers are in short supply in my area.
@@vaanes where are you located?

Fella's got some REALLY NICE RIG'S!!! (thumbs up!)
They don't hold much, do they?
What's that it dropped? 8 ton?
24-26
Beautiful truck and trailer. But in New Jersey we haul the same load in a tri axle dump truck.
Cool truck!!! If you are getting paid by the hour.... slow unloading
Beautiful rig, but as an armchair expert, I would think that a side dumper would be more efficient and safer.
Nice truck, but would rather have a Euro bulk tipper behind it than one of those things. Of course a Euro engine pulling it would be nice too, 700-750hp, lovely, lol!
It would be cool to see that truck and trailer drive down the road with all that chrome.
I love all the stupid comments saying how useless this trailer is they are all over the place here on the west coast high sides and low sides and this is the best trailer to haul scrap and big rocks
thats def a sweet set up, nice Mac half round trailer
Chris, how much does he bring per load? It doesn't look nearly as much as what it looks like that box could haul! That and he's slow as hell. When comparing to other tandem dumps with drop axles, is this guy's extra expense (guessing it's a lot more) worth it? Just curious. Thanks. Oh and how's the new shop coming! Will you be revealing a new "Mrs. Dig" any time soon? You've got a nice 'nest', isn't it about time your biological clock is wanting to pop out some 'mini-excavators?' (or...'boring machines!!')
@ That makes a lotta sense! Thanks for taking the time to explain!
its shiney... but is it worth it? slow to turn around, slow to dump, slower to lower, sketchy as frig when dumping, and can really only carry a little more then a quad axle, and likely less then a truck and trailer, legally out this way it would be limited to 74,500# because axle spacing where a t+t with enough axles could go to 105,500, and be safer... its shiney though.
Beautiful day cab combo!
