Right, those things just pop up like that!
Awesome Job Sammy 👍👍 Thanks For Sharing
Thanks Jon! 😀
Nice video sir!
Thank you Bradley and I appreciate you watching and commenting…😀
Looking good Sam. I liked the part where you picked on that hillbilly for calling it “road bond”
Thank you Joe! I couldn’t resist the opportunity to call it ROAD BOND! 🤣
I always just load mine on backwards. She goes right up on there no bluff... love your channel God bless brother
Thanks Kenny, loading up backwards definitely works better. I need to add some more angle iron pieces to the ramps to make it a little easier on the tracks.
Sam
If your loading it backwards cover your exhaust going down the highway you will have premature turbo failure
Yup, I definitely do that on the machine hauled backwards.
Thanks,
Sam
Road Bond! 🤣🤣
🤣 kinda like James, James BOND! 🤪🤣
Man I would love to come up to Tennessee and work with you for a few months to get some experience!!! Keep up the great work!!
Thank you Jay! It definitely takes time in the seat to figure things out…
Thanks,
Sam
I like the longer vids better lol. But I enjoyed this one for sure. I like grading. Lot of back and forth.
Thanks…😀
The message gave me something to think about. I’ve got to touch up my driveway this spring with my tractor so I appreciate watching this video.
Hey Mike, I’m glad the message was a help to you! Hope the work gave you some ideas to fix your driveway…
Thanks,
Sam
Enjoyed your message Sam! Got that driveway looking great. Be Safe Out There and GOD BLESS!

Little project but very good result !
Today already 25° outside, this winter we did not have much rain... 😬
I cut the grass in a T-shirt already.
Thanks, it was a cool little project to do. It has been nice here until the rain we had today.
Good to see you Sam! Good work as well.
Thank you Brian! 😀
God bless you sir yes when I work in oil field I ran a skidsteer love doing that and you done a great job sir
Thank you Michael, I appreciate that! 😀
❤
Thank you Brandon! 😀
Love your videos... anychance you could do some videos on the planing process for water run off? Things like small carpark, rerouting water to stay away from sheds/houses ect.... i know you have used trimble and gps stuff but for us less fortunate people with just a laser and a stick lol.... god bless. Jesus is king and he is a part of my life now and i feel much more humbled
Hey I appreciate you watching and supporting the channel! Very glad to hear that Jesus is part of your life now. We all could stand a bit more humility for sure. I will see about talking about how to manage water in future videos.
God Bless,
Sam
Keep up the good work buddy! You’re doing amazing things.
Thanks, I appreciate it…
God Bless
Amen Sam. Appreciate the video.
Thank you Jon! 😀
God Bless
Love the massage amen 🙏
Thank you Rubio!😀
Sam did you add the wich on your trailer for the ramps that is an excellent idea my friend us old guys hate them ramps for sure I'd be interested in seeing how you have cables ran and the particular of this operation great message
Thanks Brian, I did rig that up. I bought springs but they didn’t help so I came up with the winch idea. Those things were so heavy I just didn’t want to hurt my back messing with them. On the next video, I record using the trailer, I will talk about how I fixed it.
Sam
Cool thanks Sam will look forward to it I've got 2 trailer have replaced spring twice they keep breaking my back won't take it anymore since hitting the double nickel side of life God Bless you Brother and thanks for responding
I really enjoy your videos. I am also in excavation in Pa. I think it’s interesting to see how others do the same work and maybe see something that might be better than how I do them out of habit. Thanks also for the message at the end I really enjoy that to. God bless and stay safe
Hey Guy,
I really appreciate you watching and commenting to support the channel. I agree, it is definitely interesting to see how the same work is done differently across the US and in other countries as well.
I appreciate you supporting the message at the end and glad you are enjoying it! 😀
God Bless,
Sam
Lol here in western Nc right across the line that’s what they call it. Road bond that is. It’s funny all the different names they have for it. Love your videos always do an awesome job!
Thank you Daniel! 😀 You are right, it is funny how different areas call it different names. Road Bond just sounds cool to me!
Sam
Looks great Sam! This is my favorite faith & dirt work channel. About what thickness did you calculate for that job?
Hey thanks, I appreciate that! I was shooting for 3 or so inches but actually got much more than that after finding all the good material below the light grass and dirt that was on it…
I’m late to the party!! You gonna tailgate it!!
Dump er out!
Great video keep them coming👍
Thank you Mathew! 😀
I'll never get what people see in a cold start I'm happy when they start
I suppose it’s the suspense of whether it will start or how hard it will be to start! Folks seem to enjoy the cold start and will it start videos…
Thanks
Thanks for the message 🙏
Thanks and glad you enjoyed it…
God Bless
If you ever come close to Chattanooga 🎉🎉
Hey Jamicheal,
I was in Chattanooga today. Just got back a little bit ago…
Thanks,
Sam
No fabric under the stone 👍👋🇨🇦
I only use fabric where the base isn’t good…
Great work
Thank you Wayne! 😀
Good video. Great message!
Hey Nate, good to hear from you! Thanks, I appreciate it…😀
Great video and message Bro.
Thank you Johnie!😀
Looks great Sam. How do ya like that new automation at the quarry? I'll bet ole diesel don't like it. He cant get a treat anymore. Great message.
Hey Ron, Diesel definitely doesn’t like it, he keeps looking at the scale house for those treats. I guess I’m getting use to it or I guess I just have too. It’s a bit inconvenient at times having to call them in Chattanooga on each load but that’s what they decided they needed to do.
Thanks
That looked like asphalt millings you topped the driveway with. Is that what “crusher run is”. I’ve always considered it being 53s or 73s with stone dust. Great Lenten message today.
Asphalt milling is different. Crusher Run is crushed limestone with 3/4” minus with a good bit of fines in it. Excellent stuff for packing down tight on a driveway…
Thanks
The oddball things people have in their yards especially mail boxes!
Hey Justin that’s right! It’s always interesting to see what’s there…😀
I'll tel you what, that looks like fun. I often thought about buying a skid steer just to play with but I dont know that I have enough to do it as a business. So much respect for that. I wonder if it would not be easier to back the skid steer onto the trailer? The rails seem a bit aggressive but not much different than my iron bull. I have the same issue with my tractor. I dont know why but I like these videos.....definitely gives me some ideas on my own driveway. Thanks for the video.
Thanks Marty! It is better to back it on. I was just showing the pain it is to front load on this trailer with the steep angle iron pieces. I rarely use this trailer for the smaller machines. I’m glad you are enjoying the videos and thanks for supporting the channel by watching and commenting…
Sam
great job again, but we've seen enuff starting equipment and moving it................spread the word
Thanks Bruce, I appreciate it!
Sam
People are doing more, knowing more, and trying to take on more, but they aren't getting any further or faster. Sometimes, spiritually, we get tired of trying to do and say the right things. Only in safe places during still times can we hear the wishes of God. Psalm 46:10 “Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth.” "Long/short (video) makes no difference." We are listening...Mike&Pat
Thank you Mike&Pat! 😀
That was well said! I like that scripture “be still and know that I am God”.
Sam
Brother another good job. What is the music that you were playing while you were driving at the beginning of the video.
Thanks Gary, I appreciate that! The music is a clip I downloaded from Epidemic Sound called “Wanna Ride This Highway”.
Sam
I do this with a woods grading scraper.
Scrapers and box scrapers work great for driveway repair.
Thanks, Sam
Good stuff, brother! Hey, when would you ever recommend using fabric underlayment? I’ve kinda got the same scenario and everyone’s telling me I need to use fabric before covering with C&R.
Thanks I appreciate that! I only use fabric if the ground has a tendency to stay damp/wet or you don’t have a hard/packed base. As long as you have a hard base you will be fine. Even with a hard base I generally put down a 1 1/2” base rock and then a thick coat of crusher run. Main thing is a new driveway/road needs a solid base to start on…
Thanks,
Sam
Thanks so much for the reply! Much love from down here in Atlanta! Really appreciate you putting in the time and effort to make these super-informative videos!
@@donahoo21 Thanks for supporting the channel, I really appreciate it…
Hi Sam , when I met you in Derby, you had a magnetic GoPro holder where did you get that at? Thanks
Hey Raymond, I got it off of Amazon. It is a UUIG BH07 magnet mount. If you can’t find it shoot me an email and I will get you a link to it. It is orange and black…
Hi Sam
Hello James, thanks for watching!😀
@@tristardiggin Thanks Sam sure wish you were out here in eastern Oregon, it's the busy season for us getting the garden and irrigation repaired and ready, will try to keep up with your videos, God Bless.................see ya
Thanks James! 😀

Hello tugboat…
Enjoyed it Sam! We can only haul 20K per axle here in Colorado. What is the per axle limit in TN?
In TN dump trucks, by state law, are considered self unloading vehicles and are treated differently than other trucks. As long as my tries and wheel are rated for the weight I am hauling. The tag also has to be the proper weight rating too. In a tandem axle I can legally leave the quarry weighing 66,500. The truck weighs 25k so I can haul 41,500lbs. But for less stress on the truck over time I plan to only haul 18 ton. Interstate Bridge laws are different though. I can’t get on the interstates weighing that much.
Thanks
I am definitely no pro at loading and unloading equipment but why wouldn't you drive the skid steer up backwards in case it tried to tip, the bucket would save you.. anyways great video.. cheers
It does work better loading backwards. Basically was just showing the difficulty of loading frontwards with those big angle iron pieces welded onto the ramps.
Thanks,
Sam
@@tristardiggin thanks for the reply take care
👍🏻
Thanks Steve…😀
Looks great Sam! Someone told me the quarry your going to has a 100 ton a month minimum (I'll never do that much) and had to have a account. I had one there when was bluegrass, do you know if that is true? I've been going to Monroe county stone instead just gravel for farm use not a contractor? Enjoyed the message as well.
I’m not aware of the 100 ton limit and I definitely don’t do that much per month. I have had an account since I had the chicken farm there on CO RD 750. I was getting contractor prices when I had the farm as well. But, I was definitely using a good bit of rock there at the farm. I have seen several trucks pulling dump trailers through there. But you do have to have an account because they no longer have a person in the scale house any more. You have to call in each time to their location in Chattanooga…
Thank you for all the info, and time to write it out! I'll have to give them a call and see what they will do then, would save me some miles for sure if so.@@tristardiggin
You do good work! The length of your videos don't matter to me. If you put it out I'm going to watch it. Just don't shorten the messages!
Thank you Mike and I will keep the message rolling…😀
Love your content we're you guys located i am building driveways and parking lots m

Hi buddy
Hello Niklas…
mind me asking what a job like this was charged? thanks and great work!
I have a $500 minimum plus materials…
Thanks, I appreciate it…
Sam
Thanks for the quick reply. Ya for that job I would have been around 650ish. Does that sound about right? I do land services on the side. Still trying to figure my best approach for pricing. I charge $250 just to bring the equipment, and then roughly $400 for a lead load to be spread. I don’t have a dump truck yet, if I did exactly what you did, I’d probably be around 8-900 not including material. Is that high?
@adamsfamilynfun1409 I’m with you on that, trying to figure out how to price something has always been a challenge for me. I don’t think 800 to 900 is to high at all. It only took a little over a couple hours but I have to factor in loading, hauling to the site, unloading to do the job, loading and transporting back home and unloading again. So realistically you have a good bit of time invested in a quick job like that.
Thanks
Right. Sounds good sir. Can I ask you one more question? Does $500 for a culvert replacement or install sound low or high? 20’ 12” galvanized culvert. Delivered. With mini excavator.
@adamsfamilynfun1409 $500, plus materials, would be the minimum that I would do it for. But if you need the work and just trying to get started in the business you can do it for less but you do need to make money while you are building the business.
I need to make me a Chanel I think your pretty jam up in that bobcat I can tell you have had some experience
Thanks Robert, I appreciate that! TH-cam is a hard thing to figure out and definitely has its ups and downs…
Sam
@@tristardiggin no problem man! Oh I believe it I’m not good with a phone as it is lol so I can’t see me setting a camera up moving it around I’d forget a lot of things
I don't know what it is about driveway jobs but I get the most views on our social media on driveways for some reason I don't get it looks good buddy
Eric that is right. The Driveway jobs are definitely very popular. My second most watched video is a driveway video.
Thanks, I appreciate it! 😀
I like driveway work but I don't use crush and run or abc because of too many fines .
18 ton on a tandem? Is that actually legal in TN?
Yes, actually I can legally weigh 66,500, leaving the quarry, in a tandem as long as the tire ratings and wheel ratings are right for that much weight. The truck weighs 25k so technically I could haul 41,500lbs. But I only haul 18 ton to be less stress on the truck over time. That is local hauling the interstate bridge laws will not allow that weight. In TN dump trucks are considered self unloading vehicles and are treated differently when it comes to haul weight.
