Exactly. My Dad would pickup 30yd OT from the Dallas Farmers Market. Problem is the vegetables/fruit is full of water which make the boxes real heavy. We would get the front end high as fuck... would scare the shoppers walking by.
If he picked it up correctly it probably wouldnt have picked the wheels up, he lowered the rails too much. They should always be at the top of the cab or higher unless you have some real low overhead obstruction. If you do it correctly and it lifts the front end then it's really heavy but he's just show boating to make a video.
I drove a roll off semi. Overweight boxes lifted the drive wheels off the ground, which was a problem because the controls were on front of the trailer. Sometimes they got high enough I couldn't reach them. This driver did a textbook loading of an overloaded box.
If you're an experienced roll off operator you'll not lift the front. The truck lifting us because the heavy is outside of the chassis. You have to put the hoise up and keep 🔙 with the cable and keep up hoise and back This way you're not forcing the cable and guess what your front will never lift You cab put it down when the container is 3/4 on the chassis That way you have 75% of the load in the truck, the math said 25% out will never beat a 75 % on the truck. You're welcome. Yes when i first started I did lift a lot but then i found out a better and safe way to do it.
@bern7851 he should've released his brakes too to let the truck roll backwards under the box. Good way to snap a cable doing it the way it's done in the video
@@DerangedWookiee he said I explained perfectly so he already knows that. But thanks for adding that A reminder is always welcome. Always working with safety Keep it up 💪
Some times you get heavy boxes. You can put it in neutral and back under the box all you want. It'll help the cable but the front of the truck is still coming off the ground.
I’ve been doing Roll Off for 4 years so I’m fairly new but I’m pretty sure this isn’t the way it’s supposed to be done definitely not the safest 😂 you should have release the brakes and let the truck roll under the can!
And this is how ppl die... That's not the way to pick up a heavy load.... If that cable snaps guess who is going to lose his head?? . Boom above the cab , let go the service and parking brake and just roll under the can so you don't put that much tension on the cable !! Stay safe ....
Agreed! That was the only scary part, seeing the boom in line with the rear window while there is enough cable should it snap to come through the cab. Way too many ways to die let alone set up the worst scenario yourself.
I pulled a can a couple weeks ago that was 22.38 tons in the can. Put me at 78800 gross on a 10 wheel truck. The front wheels never came off the ground.
All cool till the overpaid welders hook on front of container comes flying through back window or cable snaps. I hauled roll off for 3 years. Seen a conworker bury a container front hook into his dash just missing him.
If at any point you come off the ground you don’t know what you’re doing , I’ve been doing this for 10plus years and not once has my truck lifted off the ground even with loaded concrete boxes
Right there is nuts if that cable snap and as low as he or she had the rails the cable would have come through the back windshield. Been doing rolloff for years. Keep them rails above the cab because if the cable snap atleast the driver is ok!!
Overweight load. Full of concrete or rocks. If it was MY truck it would need the load reduced. But it's a company truck and nobody gives a shit about that....just ask 'em. No trash hauling for me, I'll stick with Production and Lighting hauls.
My uncle does this for a living I showed him the video and all he said was “hell I’ve lifted higher than that” lol

It's only scary when the bulldog turns around on the hood and says I'M SCARED!!
That’s ridiculous as soon as my wheels come off the ground I’m dropping the thing and they gotta off load some

I used to call these Jesus loads cause every time the front tires came off the ground I said "Oh Jesus"...😆
I drove a roll off semi. Overweight boxes lifted the drive wheels off the ground, which was a problem because the controls were on front of the trailer. Sometimes they got high enough I couldn't reach them. This driver did a textbook loading of an overloaded box.

You're welcome.
Yes when i first started I did lift a lot but then i found out a better and safe way to do it.
I’ve been doing roll off for a year and you explained exactly what he needed to do. He should’ve raised the hoist to lower the front.
@bern7851 he should've released his brakes too to let the truck roll backwards under the box. Good way to snap a cable doing it the way it's done in the video

Always working with safety
Keep it up 💪
when the company's motto is "we get it done no matter what". this is what they are talkin about

I agree. I have always rolled the truck in n out from the bin .my bins rarely moves.
I’ve been doing Roll Off for 4 years so I’m fairly new but I’m pretty sure this isn’t the way it’s supposed to be done definitely not the safest 😂 you should have release the brakes and let the truck roll under the can!
Exactly what should've been done. Otherwise you risk snapping the cable
And this is how ppl die... That's not the way to pick up a heavy load.... If that cable snaps guess who is going to lose his head?? . Boom above the cab , let go the service and parking brake and just roll under the can so you don't put that much tension on the cable !! Stay safe ....
That’s why your suppose to leave it aimed above the cab till she’s on most the way Of it does snap. Bin slides you get to go home fuck it
Agreed! That was the only scary part, seeing the boom in line with the rear window while there is enough cable should it snap to come through the cab. Way too many ways to die let alone set up the worst scenario yourself.
Roll-off is not worth what they pay
That cable snaps while the wheels are off the ground like that and hoist is even with the cab…….you’re finished. It could cut right through.
POV you have a crazy trucker
Lol if you’re gonna take a box that’s overweight at least do it right smh .. that cable can easily snap like that
I pulled a can a couple weeks ago that was 22.38 tons in the can. Put me at 78800 gross on a 10 wheel truck. The front wheels never came off the ground.
Shake hands with danger

Facts
After the first time it's all good. I've loaded lot of boxes looking at the sky.
If at any point you come off the ground you don’t know what you’re doing , I’ve been doing this for 10plus years and not once has my truck lifted off the ground even with loaded concrete boxes
Right there is nuts if that cable snap and as low as he or she had the rails the cable would have come through the back windshield. Been doing rolloff for years. Keep them rails above the cab because if the cable snap atleast the driver is ok!!
Not supposed to bring down the load until the bin is fully on the truck lol
Overweight load. Full of concrete or rocks. If it was MY truck it would need the load reduced. But it's a company truck and nobody gives a shit about that....just ask 'em. No trash hauling for me, I'll stick with Production and Lighting hauls.
Hire me lol
That's a normal day on a roll off
Can I share This video On My Page?
Mack truck sitting like an eighties front wheel drive Cadillac with 2 in the front and 3 in the back with a loaded trunk.
Yea that bin loaded
This is normal
For rookie yes
That poor poor frame
Yessir!!!!! I had a load of stainless coils one time that shot my truck about 6 feet in the air instantly. Good times😂
That cable snaps and even with cab you’re a goner. Keep backing up to take pressure off the cable and keep your hoise up
Those leaf springs and shocks are fukt
You have the 3 axel just to brake the truck .😅
My hell ! He's going to hurt or kill himself doing stuff like that . Lift the rail up of the bin is that heavy . Besides it's easier on the equipment
Every roll-off driver gets these loads. Nothing special.
No experience
He’s a friend dude
Okay okay I think it’s just a scam scam
🎉🎉🎉
Not driver 🤦🏻♂️
Overweight much?
Full of river rocks.
17T in the can is 59,000 GVW. I'm not overweight and there are times that 17 can be loaded, to pick the front end
