Finding that sweet spot on the brake pressure was always the challenging part for me. If we were paving uphill, i didnt really need any brake pressure but if we were going downhill or on a straight away, i always worried about my brake pressure. Sometimes id step on it a little too hard withiut even realizing it. You just get focused in the hand signals and stuff and you dont realize you sent the brake pedal to the floor.
Thanks for that information. Never did asphalt. I always wondered about that part with the paver pushing and driver not rolling out on him and was it all just a matter of applying the right pressure during the pave. Thanks
@Revelation_22_13 it takes practice and communication. They'll tell you if you're about to roll out or if you have too much brake pressure. You'll know if you're holding the brake too much if the paver is trying to push the truck and they're not budging the truck. The dump guy will usually holler at you if something goes wrong. Even experienced truck drivers roll out. It sucks but just get out and grab a shovel and learn from your mistakes.
We used to spray the beds with diesel back in the 60s and 70s and it worked good. If you spilled in front of the paver you got yelled at and had to buy the operator a case of beer . Lol
Went from tractor to dumptrucks been doing this work 4 5 years now make good money and sleep in my own bed they work 70 hours week I work the same after taxes 1300 dollars
I used to haul asphalt. We would always prepare chicken in aluminum foil, with BBQ sauce. Dig a whole in the hot mix in the truck, bury it where we knew where it was. Then drive to the jobsite. By the time you got to the jobsite that chicken was cooked to prefection and falling off the bone. Time to eat. It usually took about an hour to cook, depending on how hot the asphalt was tha we got from the plant.
Yeah man there's some guys that do that cuz that asphalt is almost 400 degrees these guys rap meat like chicken or steak and potatoes in aluminum foil and then put it in burlap sacks and it Cooks it it's amazing it's weird but it's cool and some of the best meals I've had was cooked from asphalt 😂
Thank you for the informative video. Starting my first day tomorrow and this was great to see! Don’t mind avatar my daughter hacked into my CZcams acct haha
Oh man ! I have a test drive scheduled in 2 days I’ve only driven 10 speeds but apparently I’m going to be driving 9 speeds never heard of those before
Mist a Lil diesel in your bed and hinges and it’ll come out like magic but don’t do it if you doing state work cause the state inspector catch it he’ll have a fit. I did asphalt the first 19/20 years of my cdl but I got class A 5 years ago and been doing dump wagon ever since
Johnny Phillips “ mist” haha. I “ soaked” the spreader pan, the hinges , the coal Shute and esp the bed of the truck along with corners. I would have puddles of fuel oil laying on the bottom of that bed. I hauled ALOT of loads and mix . I never really did any state jobs . Not that it would have mattered . I still would have sprayed my bed down with fuel oil . Old habits are hard to break ✌️
Johnny Phillips I was a six wheeler driver for a long time . I hauled so much asphalt I could practically sit in the seat and the truck Would drive its self to the plant. I never hauled any mix in a semi. However, I’ve done a lot of excavating and working with a grinder in a semi. It doesn’t much matter to me . Semi or six wheeler . I never had a complaint about my driving. I’ve also done 48 and 53ft work . I mostly did intra or tri state sh__. I did containers for about 2 years . I can do that too.
I mix about a 1.25 gallons of diesel and .25 of fresh motor oil. It helps cover the diesel smell, changes the color so it doesn't look like diesel and works IMMENSELY better than diesel only. :)
Gee Brain , excuse me if I didn’t get excited on this ride along. After hauling at least 2000 loads of mix and probably double that in every thing else you can stick in a truck you might safely say I’ve been there and done that . Where do you hide the fuel oil ? ✌️
So the company who was doing the paving ordered up x amount of tons and the plant would store it in the silos ( more or less) fu__ that soap. It’s pretty useless. Depending on how bad the mix was sticking I would at some point pull over and soak the sh__ out of it with fuel oil . Did it 100s of times ✌️
also when you was leaving the paver after lowering your bed the paver operator was telling you to raise your bed to get any leftover asphalt out. probably missed it because the shovel hand was telling you to make a round at the same time
Hey I been driving dump trucks for about a year and still haven’t done black top any spesific tips can you provide or a make a video on how to line up with the paver? Thank you man great vid.
@@BRIANVANDUYN asphalt box , I never done it. I’ve done where they scoop asphalt off the box, but never where I line up to paver and they push me I’m still nervous about it. Thanks..
Shuttle buggy is a “Road Tec” term. That company developed the “Shuttle Buggy” which is essentially the same thing as your referring to. The shuttle buggy remixes the asphalt to prevent segregation of the mix due to temperature variations. It also will hold a little over 30 tons of mix if I’m not mistaken which allows for continuous paving without truck to paver contact which prevents bumps and comprises in the mat quality
Damn man they dont put a orange flag at the end of the boom on the mill machine to help u see when to move ? Also gonna have to show ya how I hooked my bed sprayer up it's super simple anwill be a life saver if you do much asphalt
Usually about 12 to 15 lb of air pressure on the brakes depending on the size of the paver is enough to keep the truck against the paver to not roll out because the weight of the load will push the truck right out and u will loose all your load in front of paver but not so much that the paver can't push you
I got kicked out my first time doing paver. the operator just yells. Hes probably going through things.. another driver was on my passenger side to assist me but he yelled at him too. He didn’t give me one chance to redo. Signed out and left to another job site. Lessons are made by making honest mistakes. Nobody is perfect. Take it easy driver.
@@BRIANVANDUYN at 600 the oil would be burnt off the rock generally 375-400 out the plant and depending on the distance to the job 280-320 going in the paver. But hey it’s your job to get the stuff from point A to point be not know the details of what you are hauling right 😂
How many tons u haul in them super dumps Justin said he hauls 20 tons I was like I'm from the south we have tri axle dumptrucks we haul 25 tons he said that's crazy
Awesome, being thrown into an asphalt operation with no training, this was like a ride along that I should be getting! Thanks a mil.
I'm here learning now I never got training on nothing myself and tomorrow is my first time milling smh
Much appreciated this is was exactly what I was looking for!

Gosh first time I went down to 50 psi 😂😂
This the best video for new drivers I’ve seen when it comes to paving
Share it up ⬆️

Amazing video man !
Used to do that type of work with my dad my summer job. For 6 years. Thank you for the memories!

Nice video bud. I'm training a new driver tomorrow and this will make the training process immensely easier
I also did a live stream while i was paving check that out also!
Thank you for the visual and tips.
Love this style of video
Nice ride along.
That was well done bro👍
Thx!
Great job driver 🎉🎉🎉
Great video
thanks man!
Very insightful

Don’t tempt me
We spray our bed down with diesel fuel every other load out here in Nor Cal & it works like a charm 😉

A trick to keep the millings off your cab is to roll your tarp back a little bit to direct the millings into your bed.
That's great advise! But be careful sometimes the grinder throws sharp chunks that can cut the tarp
@@BRIANVANDUYN this is true. U can hear them hitting your dog house and I'll just pull up. I hate when they load everything up front.
I put a thick zip tie on the canvas arm and use that as a guide. Just find a part of the milling machine and Keep it on it
I run a trimmer Wirtgen w50

Good eye!
@@BRIANVANDUYN they get so impatient sometimes. I'll raise my bed anyways so I dont have to deal with it later haha.

You got a jake on that 2 stroke Detroit? Id love to hear it
Yes i do look up the video brap braappp braaaaappppppp
Hey I been driving dump trucks for about a year and still haven’t done black top any spesific tips can you provide or a make a video on how to line up with the paver? Thank you man great vid.
With the rollers or the sides of the asphalt box
@@BRIANVANDUYN asphalt box , I never done it. I’ve done where they scoop asphalt off the box, but never where I line up to paver and they push me I’m still nervous about it. Thanks..
The grinder lol you mean cold planer/miller
I miss paving and milling. Nice video. DONT BUMP MY SPREADER!!!! LOL. Do you ever dump into a shuttle buggy?
What a shuttle buggy? I think we call them placers where you dump it into the machine and it places it in a different location?
Shuttle buggy is a “Road Tec” term. That company developed the “Shuttle Buggy” which is essentially the same thing as your referring to. The shuttle buggy remixes the asphalt to prevent segregation of the mix due to temperature variations. It also will hold a little over 30 tons of mix if I’m not mistaken which allows for continuous paving without truck to paver contact which prevents bumps and comprises in the mat quality
dumping daily in shuttle buggy on ohio turnpike,6 axle dump here,25 tons
Damn man they dont put a orange flag at the end of the boom on the mill machine to help u see when to move ? Also gonna have to show ya how I hooked my bed sprayer up it's super simple anwill be a life saver if you do much asphalt
Nope no orange flags here..... some times if the operator is experienced he will honk 1 time to stop and 2 times to go
You've been into Andrew Camarata s' music files huh?

So is pressure applied to brake the whole time the truck is being pushed???
Yes
Usually about 12 to 15 lb of air pressure on the brakes depending on the size of the paver is enough to keep the truck against the paver to not roll out because the weight of the load will push the truck right out and u will loose all your load in front of paver but not so much that the paver can't push you

@@christopherstover9726this happened to me today 🤦🏽♀️
Hey are they having you insulate bed?
No
Music ????
How far does a dump truck load of asphalt go, about 200 feet?
Depends on how many inches thick usually on state jobs 4 inches thick 100-200 it’s been a while since I hauled asphalt
Paveing or paving
When dumping in the paver, do you pull it or does it push you?
It pushes you, you need to slightly hold the break so when your load shifts you do not roll away from the paver and spill out in front of the paver
Does working on a grinding job tear up tires?
Not really
400° at most
600 is what the operator told me
@@BRIANVANDUYN at 600 the oil would be burnt off the rock generally 375-400 out the plant and depending on the distance to the job 280-320 going in the paver. But hey it’s your job to get the stuff from point A to point be not know the details of what you are hauling right 😂
How’d you get into hauling milling and asphalt?
That's how i started my business, i didn't know anything just went for it
BRIAN VANDUYN are you contracted with the paving companies? Hard to get into?
No contracts i just call them and they call me when they need trucks
BRIAN VANDUYN do they care that your a solo op? Or do they prefer more than 1 truck?
They don't really care
How many tons u haul in them super dumps Justin said he hauls 20 tons I was like I'm from the south we have tri axle dumptrucks we haul 25 tons he said that's crazy
25 tons in a super
600 degrees would ruin the asphalt in the mix
Where is this. Looks very familiar
Western Washington . I can't remember exactly
BRIAN VANDUYN Iv been up to that pit where you dumped the grindings. I’m trying to remember. Like up in the Renton Kent 405 area i think?
Jev that's further north
BRIAN VANDUYN yep! That’s exactly it! Out shop is out of sumner but we go all over.
How much brake pressure?? 10 pds?
10 lbs
Thank you very much
Whats ur camera setup
It's a gopro 360
How to get this types of jobs?
People need a truck and they call me
That was kinda cool how the scalehouse was a camper instead of a shitty little shack
Hahaha yeah I was surprised the first time I seen it to hahaha
Not bad for a rookie. I've seen worse. Way worse. Like having to dump other guys trucks into the paver for them.
Rookie ?
