good drivers are clued in to mirrors, truck sounds, gravel amounts,,setting the tailgate with the right opening,, truck speed,, it's all planned out before he was loaded.. trained pro,, self taught ..love it..
I have a 1981 GMC dumb truck about the size of yours....It's a standard shift...the gate is Manuel and the dump levels are the same. I'm having a hard time controlling how much comes out etc.....any pointers would be helpful. Loved the video!
Great tail-gate tutorial. It's definitely unusual for bigger trucks to use automatic transmissions, however, only Allison makes those industrial strength slush boxes and Allison is top notch. I know you were skeptical at first but the proof is there now. An automatic transmission is, in my opinion, much better suited for industrial work anyway due to its natural hydraulic coupling and they all employ a stator in the torque converter to multiply torque needed for getting the heavy vehicle moving from a standstill. Manual trans rely on granny gears and split gearing to overcome that issue while every auto tranny has a natural ability to get a heavy truck moving smoothly from a standstill. The options on that Ford are perfect. You didn't even know it at first, but you bought one of the best little dump trucks available when u got that thing.
Andrew...you are preaching to the choir....I have been telling customers for years about using larger stone (1.5") first before using 'cruster run' they cannot vision the dust is not what they need....could go on about many stories about rebuilding or improving their driveway...love your videos from TN driveways
When I started driving dump truck, my boss insisted we spread stone forward and back...we had small tandem trucks. When I went into my own business, I spread hundreds of driveways in NY state. Thanks to my training......you are very good at spreading with your trucks...
I sure wished you were available to do a gravel and multiple culvert job on our driveway in northern Tennessee! Keep up the good work and quality videos. Tim
That's an ideal customer! She knows maintenance is important and costly. She doesn't mind walking the driveway and accepts your consulting. 👍 nice accent and a beautiful dog too! 🥂🍑🐕
Good job Andrew...I enjoy watching your videos. Your work ethic, your hustle, and willingness not to be defeated by any project is why we follow and appreciate your channel. Keep up the good work and have a Merry Christmas.
Yes Andrew is awesome. So many tools and skills. How on earth did you learn to do all these different things. Great video editing. I notice your subscribe count has gone up another 2,000 since I first watched a video about a week ago. Keep going strong buddy.
This is great info! I’m gonna try some #3 stone. I used #57 last time and most of it just got pushed down into the mud. I don’t have to worry about snow plows in Georgia, but it has rained a lot in the last year. It’s raining now.
Ya know, I had a little Yanmar tractor, bucket, blade, 4wd, diesel. I bought it fairly cheap when renovating our house and yard, 3/4 acre. I loved that tractor, then inexplicably I sold it. I still feel sick about it. Anyway, thnx Andrew for the chance to live again vicariously through you and your top notch work.
jamesnm21 I suppose I could but, hard to justify the expense just for plowing the snow on my driveway half a dozen times a year. I already get the stink eye from the missus enough as it is.
@@nicksrestos8505 ah poop. Well, there's always Craigslist too if you wanted to do a few jobs like Andrew does. Or even rent it out, though you have to be careful about that.
jamesnm21 I’m good mate, not enough hours in the day. My chair, a pint of Guinness at the end of a long workday watching Andrew and his equipment ballet is good for me. His time lapse segments remind of a Ray Harryhausen movie.
@@nicksrestos8505 he puts a lot of work into them for sure. I can see where he's probably got the filming part down so that he's not wasting much time setting up the shots. Knows where to put the camera and when as he's working, etc. But then he has to edit everything.
Great video brotha....question for ya...why wouldn't you build your base with "crush run" type rock? Instead of larger stone? I find that if I am scraping and resurfacing my driveway (gravel 1200 feet ish) I find that if I have a larger stone I'll not get a smooth finished product for the drive...now for farm roads!! yes big stone works great...what are your thoughts ??
Yes, that is best. Here it isn't needed because there is bed rock just under the mud. If you are in a very muddy area, start with road fabric, than put stone down in layers, starting with biggest stone.
Great job Andrew! It's a little of a challenge to tailgate rock around a corner like that but you made it look easy ! I really enjoy watching your videos.
I thought you put way too much gravel on that bend, looking closer....I was wrong....again! I am over 4,000 miles from you in the UK and yes I need glasses......So forgive me for thinking that. Nice looking customer from what I seen of her. hope she gives you more work in the future.
andrew watching your videos here on youtube its like going back to when i used to go to work with my father since he drove a dumptruck but his was a 99 international with the dt466e motor in it with 5 speed manual man i still remember the first time i ask him to show me how to work the pto and pretty much got hooked on that til i started working the electric tarp. Luckily i just use the passenger side mirror and from the cb radio going it was hard not to fall asleep. Man every morning about 6:45 am i was glad when the motor cranked over cause i didnt want to go back in and grab the keys to a older ford f700 gas motor dt with no radio /hvac. heck the dumptruck had everything manual including the windows.
My four year old grandson Sam, loves Andrew and mimics his videos in his play with his electric tractor with a bucket... “OK let’s get started is always his opening line”!
Thank you for sharing your amazing video, I highly appreciate your video editing, it’s a very high quality. I have watched more of your videos several times and your videos don’t get boring because you change your angle you are shooting. So thank for your great efforts, God bless you and your family
That truck is a beast. That gravel has much bigger rock than what I put on this past spring. Mine in 3/4 to 1inch. Got a little snow so far and I plowed once. I hope it holds up. Happy Holidays brother. I had to start another channel. My old one was messed up. Ugh
Ok now that was some pretty darn good dump truck operations there Andrew to do it smoothly and cut the corner on costs by not needing other equipment for spreading and leveling.
watching Andrew do his work is like watching poetry in motion although it wouldn't be work to me because it always looks too fun, great to see Levi back on the job. Thank you Andrew!
I know 8t if we're not careful the Democrat will end the country or should I say socialist the old school democrats that worked for the the country are few and far between
@@jwhitley101whitleyfarms9 Im not sure there are any left . All i ever seem to hear is they want to tax you for this or take away your right to continue doing that . Sad times we are living in right now .
That blue/gray gravel is really nice looking stuff. We have a whole bunch of quarries around here and they all produce different rock. The one right here in town has a very light almost white stone which looks fairly nice. There's one about 30 minutes away though that has beautiful gray rock similar to this and its the cleanest stuff with very little fine pieces in it.
Another satisfied customer. Good job Andrew. I thought you might hit that tree with the raised dumper. Looked very close but you handled it well. Hope she has you take that tree down. Thanks for the video.
Running gravel with my international single axle was a great gig.No labour,quick drops,and paid well.Now Im going to a hooklift,with all the different bodies.1 truck does it all.If your ford has that 6.6 Brazilian diesel,or the 5.9 cummins,you got a tough and dependable rig.
Looking good bro.Tailgating that stone is the cats ass.Your right about the crusher run with stone dust.I used to use it now i only use 1 and 2 or 3 gravel.
May I take this opportunity to wish you and your's a Merry Christmas and a Guid New Year from Scotland. We love watching your videos and long may it last. Slàinte (Your good health) x
great vidio again. merry christmas to all 4 and 2 leggers. how about a vid on the stone quarry. i have a few around here and they are huge and neat. 1 million soon.
I really liked that we got to hear and see the customers reaction
I caught my self saying out loud " look out for that tree" when backing on the corner , lolol
I thought the same .lol. It did look like he was going to hit it. It needs to come out.
Man, i thought i thought I was the only one

So thanks for another informative video. Things like what size rock to use and why is very helpful and even the choice of the truck with an automatic.
Nicely done Andrew. Really enjoying your videos bud

Nice job on the spreading wow. Thanks for the explanation on the stone. I am going to try it on a job, have always used the stuff with fines before.
That truck is a beast. That gravel has much bigger rock than what I put on this past spring. Mine in 3/4 to 1inch. Got a little snow so far and I plowed once. I hope it holds up.

Good job, she was cute
Great vid, as always!
I can't believe how many driveways you have made, without compacting them with any kind of compacting equipment.
That is fascinating.
Bojan Klar it doesn’t need compaction. That wouldn’t matter.
Merry Christmas to Levi, Sadie. Andrew and the Family and to the rock customer!
Nice job I like the big clean rock it lets the water run down and out so top stay dry ( no pot holes ). 👍
Andrew needs a giant job where he can put up a 8hr video of him laying gravel. For some reason it is so satisfying to watch.
You seem to have missed his multi-part series playlist where he pretty much did that exact thing. He prepared an entire house site.
watching Andrew do his work is like watching poetry in motion although it wouldn't be work to me because it always looks too fun, great to see Levi back on the job. Thank you Andrew!
Great work Andrew. Not sure how I ended up here but I have put more time into your videos than anything on tv.
great video; nice you are able to squeeze out a few jobs during the winter; all the best and Merry Christmas
Back again for the gravel being spread! Great sound!
Very nicely done!
Much love and respect from Chicago
Am i the only one that saw the time on this video and said dang its just a quickie . Andrew has become my release from our fu**ed up country .

I really like, that you get off a piece of equipment, move rocks, use a hand rake. You have pride in your work. Edit: Always give a 110%.
GREAT VIDEO !!!
Nice job, sweet little truck...
I was one of the guys that recommended road mix ( the stuff with dust). If the #3 works for you, you should use it.
BTW, nice job. Thumbs up for you.
Merry Christmas Andrew to you & the furry little ones!
Another good job and another satisfied customer. It would have been better if it was done a little earlier in the year so it had a chance to pack in.
Andrew my God, where you find such beautiful customer !!! Happy Holiday and good luck.
I love the Grind!!
Thanks That's what I needed to know , no dust for my next order of gravel 11/2
Great video Andrew. The stone with the dust are you talking about 'staymat ' ?
Master of the art!
Do You ever use geofabric for separating mud from new gravel? Wont the gravel only be pushed down in to the mud when it thaw?
Yes, I do use it. It usually cost much more to use it. Plus bed rock wasn't deep here, so we did not use it here.
Andrew, have a Merry Christmas buddy...
great vidio again. merry christmas to all 4 and 2 leggers. how about a vid on the stone quarry. i have a few around here and they are huge and neat. 1 million soon.
