Nice video Dauminique dump truck driver
Ontoyouall💯🚒🚒💯🚒😡💯
You young lady are definitely a professional truck driver. It appears to me that you are a professional paver as well. I have noticed in all of your videos that everyone seems to show alot of respect to their fellow drivers. I don't believe that I have heard the first curse word said. Keep up the hard work and stay safe out there and keep on trucking. Prayers to you 🙏 and your family .❤
Thanks, you too!
@larrycobbk3102,I know that I haven't heard any curse words from anyone either, but they probably hold it in until they're done with the video
Where do you keep your spray bottle?
I’m surprised they don’t make you tarp that black top. There real strict with us in the state I live in.
Nice job holding tite to the paver . when I was a young man in the hot summer if you rolled away from the paver it would cost my dad a case of beer each time it happened . back in the day pavers had training wheels on the front of the pavers that would hold you tite so you could not get away . If you want to have a lot of fun paving try backing up to a seal cote paver in reverse on the fly .Now thats a lot of FUN ...
Small bungee at the top or bottom of that mirror stops the idle shake pouring concrete we had to do it ir you couldn't see
8.3K and you're at 100K. Let's all keep spreading the word of what a great channel this is and help drive it to 100K.
Fingers crossed!
That's what I like about Texas because that box would have been loaded up
4:26 your trucks SOUNDS great!
Thanks
First off, as a former paver operator for nearly 50 years (retired 2 yrs.now) you did a fantastic job while in the paver. It would have been a pleasure unloading you each round. Please always remember to let your bed down far enough before you pull out off the box empty. What a lot of drivers don't understand is that when you drag your lip out of the front of the paver, the front flaps on the machine act as a sling shot and fire hot asphalt at the operator. Plus after a while it rips those flaps off the paver and as an operator, they hate that...
Lastly, you described all the exact reasons why asphalt workers like doing what they do. When we look behind us we can see the progress we are making and mostly everyday you are working some place different and building a different road...
Stay safe, and keep up the great work!
Keith
Your a really good operator ( driver) truckers don't have it easy, everyone else on the road should understand that. Great video Dominique all the best & keep on trucking!!!
Thanks, you too!
@@Fenris_0fficial lol Branden, happy late birthday! 24 years old! You’re getting so big!
I own the company, no one in my family is in trucking to construction. I drive this dump truck 6 days a week. No other employees, no family members. Just me doing the driving. That’s all info that’s available on the internet, BTW.
great video! one tip, stay centered in the paver. If you go too far to one side or the other you could end up getting hung up in the paver and damaging the box of the trailer or truck. Im saying this from experience :(
Those operators get pissed if u roll away from the paving machine and dump a big pile in front of the machine
@@clodhopper946
YES was the grunt that had to take a SHOVEL and spread out the material so the PAVER doesn't Rise or move off its flat path.
I drove those old dump trucks for 50 yrs ,, they will beat your body to death,,, I miss my old r model mack iit made me more money with less problems than the other 6 trucks i owned ... those transfer dump trailers a a joke in my book ... @@rp1645
It's not easy to stay in the funnel either. The worst thing is when they make the thin top layer and push you forever. At the the base layer, he only push a few meters. Sometimes with trees and street lights. You really have to concentrate.
We do this with semis but here are no frameless trailer ever. These are deathtraps. With a trailer combination, operators don't have that much patience. This has to be done in one step.
Asphalt also has to be covered here and thermal troughs have to be used. Release agents are no longer allowed here; in the past we used to spray out the troughs with diesel. We have a type called OpA (open-pored asphalt), which is particularly disgusting. This stuff sticks like epoxy.
To stay on the paver we have a paver mode. The air suspension remains active and the brake on the last axle is subjected to some air pressure. With the foot brake he lifts the tractor out and the train can do the jackknife. If you don't stay on the paver or have to start again, they get crazy.
Iam suprised they don't make you "tarp" the load to keep it hot ? You are a "piece of work" in the most positive sense !!!
Just told her the same thing
@@rcarraturoyou🚒😡😡😡😡😡
Thank God it started to rain here in Oregon too. It will help mitigate some of the wild fires! Todd the retired trucker.
Used to pave for 6 years. Enjoyed paving, keep up the enjoyable videos. Be safe out there
Thanks, you too!
Bring back alot of great memories for me. I was an asphalt hauler for 5 years. Pulled an eight axle flow boy in Michigan. I agree dirt work sucks, hauling the hot rocks is where it's at. Great job young lady.
i used to have a brake application gauge, it really made a difference on how hard to apply the brakes
I did paving in Vietnam with the Sea Bees. I drove a 5 ton truck and loved asphalt. We would really load the shit out of those trucks. I also learned to run an asphalt plant and a paver. It was a really good job.
Daaam truck sounds good 😊😊
Thanks!
I've done Paving before there are days I came home smelling like tar and my arms where Pitch Black and tar all over me and there were times as I came home clean. You are a very professional truck driver don't let anybody else tell you different even your hubby
Cool seeing you work for us. Fun seeing our jobs from others prospective
When I moved to this Colorado market, I spent just over 10 years as a company driver on end dumps, double bottom side dumps, and belly dumps. All very interesting work and challenging at times, and interesting to see the job progress to finish.
Then my last 5 years I drove for an asphalt paving company on a "flow boy" trailer - V shaped body sidewalls with a 3 ft rubber belt on the bottom to unload the product. BEST job I ever had! Loved the paving work, even the mandatory night work on the Interstate Hwy roto milling and paving, and challenging to back a 40 ft trailer all the way to the paver down a 9 ft. wide lane around corners without running over fresh asphalt in the adjoining lane, especially in the dark with only the light from your 4 way flashers!
When not paving, we were stockpiling material at the hot plant yard from the company quarry about 13 miles away. Could get boring at times, but there was always CB chatter with the 6-8 other company trucks on the haul. Then we got several contracts to provide material for the enormous expansion at Ft. Carson Army Base. In addition to the normal stockpiling at the various building sites, they used the flow boy trailers to dump fill inside the completed building foundations for the concrete flooring, sometimes while the steel walls were going up!
Never got boring because we never knew what job we'd be working on the next day, and even if the same job it would be a different way of coming in or different material going to a different spot. The challenge of getting a 40 footer into the exact spot where they wanted the load is what I enjoy.
Glad to see you really enjoy your work, sure makes your job a pleasure, doesn't it.
I thought maybe for paving a transfer would be the ticket, but you sure made paving with a pup look good.
There were transfers there too, I just own a t&t.
lota bottom dump around my area
I just never seen a dump with a dump pup do this kind of paving before. I guess it works fine as long as you can back long distances as good as you do.
@@70elcamino. bottom dumps is all we use here in southeast Idaho for road paving because with end dumps every time the paver stops it leaves a little bump in the road and with belly dumps they technically never have to stop.
Paving with a pup is far more common than with a transfer in this area. We do it at the county I work for since we don't have any transfers and it isn't fun. Not only do you have to keep against the paver but you have to keep the pup centered on the paver while keeping everything straight. It's a PITA when you pave curves with a pup. We don't do much paving, pretty much only pre-level and patching. We contract out all the major paving jobs to companies like Lakeside (the blue trucks in this video). They have much better equipment and skill than us. It's interesting to watch them pave. The super dumps are really nice.
It is fascinating watching you pave using a pup. You are seriously good at it. The paving company I work for only uses solos. Great videos!!! Keep up the good work.
Dauminique The Dump Truck Driver, Howdy; Young Lady you are a class act. I used to do Asphalt back in the mid 80's. Duel axel Mack, Manual gate latch,
NO a/c in the Virginia Beach area during the Summer. High 90's temps. and heat index close to 110* F. chuckle, up hill both ways. more chucklin'.
Only 15 tons at a time so it was slow yet steady. Still enjoy the smell of fresh asphalt in the mornin'. chucklin'.
hank u wasnt following my old r model was u,,, thats what i did kcmo,, back then they hadnt invented ac or air tail gates yet,,,man look at all the fun we had,,,,,
I can hear more exhaust and Jake Brake sounds on this video! Sounds great!
I think so too!
Now that was an interesting side of trucking, as you said, seeing progress made for a new road. Congrats.
Enjoyed watching your videos, On the east coast we don’t use Pup trailers, I especially was impressed with the braking while paving. Most our paving is uphill, downhill and maybe level ground. First time I dumped, I had to shovel!!!😩Keep up the good work! You are definitely the Best lookin Dump Driver I know!👏❤️
Awesome! Thank you!
if I owned a paving company, I would totally Hire Dauminique cause she is a professional truck driver and also she is the Prettiest one I have seen on youtube and cause she knows what she is doing
Young lady that is a wonderful set of rings that you are wearing lol . Just so you know, you can pave over gravel when it is raining ☔️ but if you try to pave over asphalt it will not adhere properly to the base layer of asphalt. I can’t remember how many paving jobs we where sent home from without any work being done because of the rain ☔️. Can I make a recommendation? Always wear your seatbelt, in life and trucking you never know what you’re going to run into out there. One more thing that I learned from paving, when you are backing up to the paver machine stop just before you hit the machine, the reason being is when you hit the paver you force the screed at the rear of the paver into the asphalt and it leaves a ridge in the pavement or bump in the surface. The paver operator for the company that I worked for liked my idea so much he started applying the idea as a regular routine. We would never be allowed to pave with that much rain ☔️ coming down, just a shower was okay. Government has rules for the temperature of the asphalt to be laid down on the roadway. I cannot believe that the company that you are working for doesn’t demand that you tarp the load of asphalt to help keep it warmer. We always did, because you want to help keep the asphalt as hot as possible to do the best job for the company and the people who would eventually drive on the roadway. One more thing that I learned from paving is follow the instructions from the paving machine operator, but don’t stop thinking for yourself. I saw the operator twice make errors in judgement that caused power lines to be pulled down when we were paving at night.
I’ve paved in ND at night when it was 28 degrees and snow flurries. Now I’ve watched you pave in the rain. Here at home in eastern NC if it gets below 50 degrees and the sun isn’t shining they’re not even gonna fire up the plant.
It was 60 degrees
IN the UK we have to sheet asphalt loads so there is no "crunchy" top layer where it has cooled in the breeze
hello dauminique it's is randy and i like yours video is cool thanks friends randy
You do a great job on here. I love your poem and make you look younger than the straight hair. Yes , I am
Thanks for Bringing Us All Along!!
Keep Smiling On!!
😄👍👊❤️
I do Asphalt up to a spreader but without a pup. I'm impressed how well you back the attachment. 😁👍
BOOT'S NOT BOAT'S 😅
Thank you Steve @ FSC truckin. Just subscribed here.
Dauminique the dump truck driver Best friend. Iike Sunny. Warm rain. 😊😊❤🧚♀️🧚🏻Jeff
Heres a crazy Question...YOU. ever seen those Herzog CONVEYOR TRAINS "*..WHERE THE CONVEYOR RUNS UNDERNEATH THE TRAIN ..AND CONVEYOR OUT THE BACK SIDE OF REAR CAR ......IT BE COOL TOʻ INSTALL ON THE PAVER A CONVEYOR THAT RUNS UNDER NEATH THE TRUCK TRAILER UP TO THE DUMP TRUCK (TEMPORARY) SO CAN DUMP BOTH THE TRUCK AND TRAILER WITHOUT UNHOOKING TRAILER......😊😊😊😊😊
keep your foot on the brake box asphalt push the truck
Lol thanks
Best part is when she Smiles!!!!
Your driving right through my hometown of Sedro - Woolley :D
Ladys in top spots on construction 🚧 jobs nice 👍, and I think that paver ladys might be a fan of yours nice good job people more subscribed people would be fine , thanks BigAl California
Thanks 👍
Hahha, you're right, gotta love WA. We complain about the rain and then we complain about the heat.
I don’t complain about heat. I’m out basking in it when we have it.
Great Job. Really enjoyed watching this one. Looks like “ You Are Professional Grade ! “. 😊
Wow, thanks!
I'm a dump truck driver too myself since 2019 but I never done trails but starting this September 5th I'm going back to training school for my class 1 semi license 🎉
Nikki, you’re doing a great job you’re a good paver truck driver. I’m a retired 0302 Jarmy equipment operator hand unloading a lot of trucks in my time and doing really good. Hang in there. God bless you Ron.
There you are you do make me laugh I love to listen God bless you and you you stay safe 🙏🙏🙏
Worked a triple transfer for years, paved allot, looks like fun finding a transfer spot
Dauminique the dump truck driver. ,played come like. Ball game 👷♂️👷♂️ Jeff
Your very professional at that job 👏 👌
I loved your video first time I’ve seen this type of thing
We had box shakers on our turcks when I worked at Island County. It made it nice to get the left overs out of box.
Paving with a pup is not so bad except for the hooking and unhooking of that trailer, that is a pane in the rear end. Most times the work crew has no idea what it takes to turn that thing around. I have had times where I had to hang the rear two axles over a cliff to get turned around, not fun. Pups are not usually a big money maker for the truck. It takes twice as much fuel to pull them, and the trailer requires lots of maintenance. They do however get more jobs for the truck, and that's the trade off. She is good at this. Also dumping in front of the paver usually cost you a case of beer.
It is a money maker because you are not sitting! haha We don't do a lot of solo work in this area. There are people who only do solo and they do fine but most of them have owned their one truck since I was in high school and they have a lot of contacts.
Right, I did say it gets you more jobs, but while you do charge more, you don't net more unless the rates have changed a lot since I was doing it, we got 85 for the truck and 25 for the trailer. I agree that who you know will get you the really good jobs. I remember in my beginning, we always got the worst jobs that were really hard on the trucks. we routinely went through a set of tires on truck and trailer every year. Overloaded and on shale gravel roads will eat through any tire you have, but we had work, didn't make much net and worked like fools to keep tires on them, drive all day and repair tires at night. It is still fun for the most part, if you can survive through the early years of learning and being accepted. @@DauminiqueTheDumpTruckDriver
You have a fun job
Looks like lakeside paving, I liked lakeside there very professional and enjoyable to work with.
She did Good
Cute nails, curly. Nicer hands working with that gorgeous steering wheel. Hollywood!
Like a BOSS!
I can smell it from here🤣
🤣
Thank you DOMONQMIE FOR TAKING US ALL ALONG..(THANKS FOR CHARGING FOR THE "DOMONQMIE TRADEMARK TRUCK SHOTS"😊😊😊😊😊❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I pave every day in Wisconsin you are good For your first time we here have plants with multiple silos to drive under
when youre paving on dirt or gravel theres no tack coat so you can pave in the rain however if you were paving on a milled asphalt surface there would be a tack coat which the asphalt surface would be to wet to pave thats where the job would get shut down because the tack coat wouldnt be able to break effectively because the tack coat has water already in it when tack breaks refers to the water in the tack evaporating I work for a huge paving company here in Maine called Northeast Paving formally known as Lane Construction
Paving is my favorite as you get a little more sitting time vs a rock or dirt haul with fast loaders.
Not to mention its just more intresting.
We paved in a subdivision today. There's this one local paving company that gets big county projects where they go in and mill out the asphalt, then come back and plow up the entire subdivision or highway mixing in cement to fix soft soil conditions.
Then grade it down to sub grade and repave it. They come to town every summer and sadly it will be winding down soon giving way to winter and return of rain, 10 hr dirt hauls and rock with occasional paving jobs.
I always wondered how you would handle that pup on asphalt. You did great! How many total tons can you get out there per trip Daumi?
Is that like a 2 hr turn around out there or farther?
It's been about 20 years since I've seen paving with end dump pups. Here in southeast Idaho it's either supers or if it's a road (highway) job it's always belly dumps and if it's a big job it's belly dump trains that can haul up around 45 tons of asphalt.
Never seen a belly dump used for paving
In the south we don't use pups that often seems like a pain u do a good job 😀
It’s not a pain. It’s easy.
Ah paving on Hwy 20. Where is your tarp? Asphalt is always supposed to be tarped to retain the heat. There is a huge sign when you pull out of the silos telling you to tarp your loads. Don't do that on a government job. We've rejected asphalt loads that weren't tarped and got too cold. You will eat the cost if that happens. We pave in the rain all the time, it's Washington after all. Rain doesn't affect the asphalt. Only issue is it will cause the tack oil to run if we use any. When we pave, if you roll out from the paver and dump asphalt on the road, you buy the entire crew ice cream. I noticed when you unhooked you didn't drop a cone to tell you where to put your rear tire so you always hit the tongue on the first try. We always drop a cone on our left rear tire so when we back up to the trailer we can hit the tongue the first time. Makes it so much easier.
I don’t carry cones with me. That was a government job. The asphalt will be fine for 20 minutes. Besides if my tarp did roll out, which it doesn’t, it’s just an aggregate tarp. It doesn’t hold in heat. The entire electrical system of the tarp needs to be replaced. These 20+ year old tarps are nothing but problems.
@@DauminiqueTheDumpTruckDriver yep was gonna say depending on the distance and outside temp, tarping wouldn't be specifically mandatory. Was overlay paving hwy 20 in Oregon, 2 1/2 hour drive in 100° temps with pup tarps not working and didn't have a load rejected. Rain will drain the heat faster but 20 min ain't nothing
That is some nerve wracking stuff. A lot of pressure to not put your truck in the way of things.
Awesome professional job as always.
Hi Dauminique I don’t know if you have mirror brackets from your centre bolt mirror arm down to the nut on your air breather but kenworth sells them and they take the shaking mirror vibration away. I put them on mine and it’s a game changer. You are absolutely a great owner operator girl💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼
I watch all your videos but this one was really neat!
Thanks
And it was pretty cool and paid good money
Nice work!👍
Might be a thought - get a retractable mike holder for you radio mike, so you are not reaching to grab your mike? Just a thought.
I don’t know why I enjoy watching some one else do the same things I do😂
I’d rather pave any day. Paving pays us a flat rate rather the truck is moving or sitting still. Rock pays tonnage and you burn way more fuel. Money is in blacktop for sure.
Haha a lot of people love watching it. It’s kinda funny. I love paving actually. It’s just never been my thing until last summer. I’m still trying to get more in with the companies that do a lot of it.
Why did you put the trailer bed up again after pulling out of the paver
To dump anything still left in the box out
Awesome job
Those Factor meals look worse than Hungry Man TV dinners
Hi my friend how are you today 😂😂 nice job you have ❤❤
I loved hauling asphalt & it pays👍🏿💰
Dauminique the dump best drive Ball 🏀 game. Sunny 😎 friends. 😊😊❤Jeff
As far as truck and pup operating you got it going on.
Nice video! Not gonna lie Truck sounds in the background with the jake sounds great! Lol
No, you have to Love the Pacific Northwest!! The Beautiful Green area! Just as long as West of the cascades!! 😂
Great vlog So much to learn about this type of trucking...Quite a lot of variety in dumping various loads!!! Great info and commentary provided...TKS..
I don’t understand why you don’t take off the take the trailer off for the day it at home. It be a lot easier. There might not be places you can’t drop off the trailer. And most trucks 🛻 can Carrie 35 ton. I used to do a lot of paving New York the trucks don’t bring their little trailer because you may not have a place to park the trailer. you go back to the paver to me it just recent time. It could’ve been a plant on it. Backing up too well I used to drive trucks too. Now I’m retired and I used to do all the paving more than 15 years I’m just trying are you guys think about it because I know it’s a pain in the ass take the trailer off and put it back on and I love those big long tractor trailers with the belt, dumping and to the paver 60 tons a load have a nice day drive safe and have fun
Hauling asphalt in Florida is the same,,, only difference is the ground is average 115 degrees and asphalt stays around 300 degrees (tarped) Still you better soak down the bed, bump up and let them push, it will flow like Lava into the paver hopper,, fun video, Thank You,,,
I love it when we get to hear and see you go through the gears. I've always wanted to give it a try and I believe I could do it. :) :)
You are professional. Truck sounds great have a great day.
If you ever come back to the Marshall Michigan area,maybe we can get you to ride along in one of our 8 axle flowboy trailers,laying asphalt. Have a safe Labor Day.
Hey Dominic.
Thing I know about Paving.
Easy guy to be fast. And safe.👍🏽?. Girl if you want to keep doing Paving. Better get you a different truck the bunch of axles on there so you don't have to keep dropping your trailer Schism more load you all the more you make. 10-4. Next time you go to the auction look what up.🤙🏾👍🏽. Be safe girl.❤💘🙏🏽😊😎🙋🏽♂️
Hauled asphalt in kcmo never liked the traffic or the hurry up and weight,,,houston tx was the same,,,
KW's have tough times staying clean in the rain. Especially heated mirrors. All the "" smutz"" dries on them. I've driven Frieghtshaker and Mack as well and they don't have as bad a time staying clear. My Peterbilt ( same co, PACCAR) as Kenworth. Same thing 😂. Working in the rain never fun.
Look at the tear-away safety vests. With all panels Velcro they can be form fit however you like.
Good job ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Just think a few days ago it was 90 degrees
Bring it back!!!
Looks like a lakeside job. You can pave on grade in the rain, just not an overlay
Drove a 6 axle in Ohio for 2years before I went over the road
Watching you from derry in Ireland
I’ve only seen pup trailers in Utah. I’m from Wisconsin. Never see that
Truck noise in background is neat and YOU NEED A MICROPHONE on your seatbelt or close.
I also like paving over all the other loads. I dont want to scare you but everbody rolls out of the paver if you haul long enough. When you do, you have to buy the crew beer LOL
Ive never seen a transfer truck here in AZ haul Asphalt , double belly i have , i had one of those camo safety vest i bought on Amazon .
My truck isn’t a transfer, its a truck and pup.
Hai Dauminique
was weer een interessante vlog met mooie beelden hoe het laden en lossen van asfalt gaat ,bedankt ervoor 👌👌gr carel uit Holland
