- We have started hauling something new, this was only my 3rd load of it, and I still haven't quite figured it out! I'm learning as I go and making this video has helped me learn somethings as well!
I hit over 1 million views on my channel and I'm super happy about that!
Thanks everyone for all the support, I really appreciate it !

I just use a 2 foot piece of old tarp or poly. I shovel about 6 feet of floor clear as soon as the load moves away from the front wall. Lay the tarp down and shovel product on top evenly, make sure there aren't any lumps on it, that will make it walk crooked. Also, get yourself a plastic snow pusher, they work better on the aluminum floor. I just follow along behind the tarp and shovel the corners on as it goes. I use a cheap wood handled windshield snow brush to clean off the rear bumper.
Pull your sweep tarp out before you loading make sure it's flat and completely semetrical with the sides and it'll push 98% of any product out then roll it back in to finish sweep.....we run floors and belts and I personally will take a belt anyday....if they are poly lined there is NO cleanup other than taking a Milwaukee leaf blower and blowing the dust off....BUT you loose some cubic yards with the slants.
Hey Steve I run a walking floor all day every day an we use a sweep rag which is like the red one but we put it out when we load so that it has weight on it. But our sweep rag is loose, it's the width of the trailer an shiny 10ft long an we just throw half of it up the trailer up front.
I love the view from the top of your truck. Great choice. 😀
thanks man!
That guy crossing the road was worth 10 points. 😆
You're killing it, see you in Hollywood bro! 👍
Trying buddy! Thanks
As a driver myself, I have seen some of the dumbest sh*t by people on the highway lol. Another friggin minty fresh video man!
lol yup the shit you see as a driver is crazy!
Your shirt off was a great bonus. 😘
hahahaha glad you liked ;)
Couldn't hear what you were saying about a dump trailer, but that's the only way I'd haul it. 👍
I was thinking the same thing. Especially with the fact that it gets load straight down the middle 👌
Wet feed is sticky dump trailer more then likely flip over !!!! Haul thousands of loads in walking floor trailer need sweep tarp in nose when loading make sure to have plenty of feed on it so it works correctly...
You got to get the train horn working, the Chevy guy needed a blast,
hahaha yeaa man! thanks for watching
Leaving it on the truck overnight may have attributed to it sticking. We used to get that for the cattle when I was a kid, they came about 2-3 am, often the driver smelled like he waited till closing time to bring the load out. I used a barn scraper and would jump in the truck after they dumped to get the last of it. It was pretty easy work at 14 but not something I want to try now. Stay safe.
thanks man!!
LOVE THE VIEW IN THE BEGINNING. MAN NOT AN EASY DELIVERY A BUD. LOVE THAT RIG DRIV'AH RESPECT FROM DETROIT CITY THE 313 MAN🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻 Oh what's wrong with your air horns see the pull string? Gotta get them train horns working asap.
hahahaha yeeaaaa man, still gotta get them hooked up!!
@@StevensLTD yez zir
I have hauled 100s of loads of wet cake. Belt trailer is the only way to go.
for sure, trying to get one!
Yeah brother !!! , thanx for the ride along !!! .. p.s. train horns are never too early , cause country fake are like , did you hear the train horns !!!
lol thanks for watching man!
Hmm! Oh yes that's definitely put this wet fertilizer in an end dump trailer. #keepontruckin 👍🏼
That is feed not fertilizer yet.
Nevet been a big fan of walking floors, especially for the type of work that you do. That looked like the dogs breakfast for sure
Lol. I'm doing 5 loads of wet feed right now. I usually have a belt trailer and can unload in 5 minutes. It's in the shop and I have the dreaded walking floor. It takes me an hour and gotta run the floor twice. I charge my boss $15 extra for WF loads with the walking floor. He fights me on it every time but I never cave. Very nice trailer tho dude!
U should keep a good snow shovel on that trailer too. They work great.
It's never to early for train horns. I wish I had your pulling power.
hahaha yea man gotta get them back!
Ran walking floors and belt trailers for yrs.Always double check your sweeper tarp, halfway up the nose and neatly spread it out on the floor. Make sure the loader drops your first bucket 3’ back from the nose, that way it reduces the chances of knocking it down.
By the way, if that were in a belt trailer, there’s a good chance it would it would tunnel. And that my friend sucks ass!! Good job bud!! Looking forward to more.
Saw ya pulling out of the security office gate and snapped a pic of the truck. Whole setup looking large. Too bad you had to deal with Windsor drivers, that whole section of Walker road is a nightmare.
that's sick man! stevens_ltd is my instagram if you ever wanna send it!
@@StevensLTD sent em your way.
Thank you for the video, awesome as always
Glad you enjoyed it! thanks for watching man
Hey Shane great video, great to see the different loads you haul.. I feel for you with the idiot's pulling out in front of truck's. I told my son when was riding with me that the world is full of stupid people and you better not be stupid. If those idiot's don't make you hook up the train horns nothing will, lol.Stay safe out there my friend and keep the videos coming and always travel safely catch you on the next one.
Love the editing in this one. Truck looks good. Stay safe man!
Thanks bud! I love hearing people notice the edits !
i like all your multi angle shots. I used to haul brewers grain out of Miller Brewery for Pillsbury, once had a very wet load and had to come to abrupt stop. Being that i was pulling an end dump, the wet grain came rushing out the trailer, over cab, and onto the cars. It was a freakn mess. Normally the grain is just moist but too moist that day
damn! that is craaaazy!
I was doing that stuff with a dump trailer for a bit. Works good just some extra sweeping at the end. Also got 40 on pretty easy
90 days from now....there might be snow on the ground! Just a friendly reminder from Vancouver BC. 😀🎅
hahaha not ready to think about snow yet!
Hey buddy I run a walking floor everyday and I’ve hauled distillers before make sure there is a pile at the nose of your trailer when you start the floor and let your sweep tarp walk out with the load it needs to have weight on it right from the start and you will have no problem
thanks for the advice man!
Somedays are harder than others budddddyyyyyyyy
I watched you roll though London today. Looking good
haha that is sweet ! shes preeeeety dirty but that wet feed makes a mess !
you crack me up big dog keep shoveling builds character ha ha ha i love my end dump
hahaha thanks man!
Yes
Boy, seems like an awful lot of work into that load. Hope the rate is pretty good on that. I wonder if a belt trailer would be more sufficient but I think you would have to add vibrators or shakers to shake the stuff down. Be safe and have a good ride
Well...only thing I can say about that load is.... Winners never quit and quitters never win 😐 plus, I'd cussed a lot more! Good job, best videos on CZcams👍
thanks man I appreciate it!
That was a shitty deal unloading. I would not want to have been you. Love your videos. 😃
thanks for watching man!
I work at feed mill in ohio we have a trinity belt trailer with spread axel front axel lifts and a trail star belt tandam axel but trail star is quiting making belt trailer and one older one not sure of make it is high side like your walking floor but selling it cause getting new belt trailer next month not sure of brand or style they are nice for distillers grain we haul to farm or back to mill we also haul s- carb in them or soybean meal pluss feed we make to take to farms we don't need to put in bins for those feeds we use 8 bin auger feed trailers I drive semi for owners son hauling milk he has 2 volvos daycabs both 13 speeds with the d13 motors and two milk tank trailers one is a polar transport trailer holds 58,000 lbs other is a walker holds 62,000 farm pickup trailer like it better
oh and PS... get a barn scraper I think called or barn scraper shovel work best when I pulled a walking floor
that's sick man, thanks for the advice!
When the pickup truck pulled out in front of you and made the dumb ass turn is when you needed your loud train horns .Hopefully it would have made him go number 2 in his pants 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
That dark blue tractor with stripes parked in front of the garage door looks like an old SPRUNG TRANSPORT tractor from Owen Sound lmao small world if I am right
lol it's not but it does have the same paint job!
You have that Train horn that you said you will not use in the early when the kid was asking you to blow your truck horn. Now its in the midday, Blow that horn at that red pick up truck.... BUT safe drive and watch out for them four wheelers..
hahaha yea man, gotta get the train horn hooked back up
11:54 good reason to get them train horns back on!!
hahaha for sure!!
I suppose you aren’t allowed to use the air horn in the city 😂
Hi from australia what a pain in the ass that trailer is never seen one till I started watching USA trucks here we got tippers for everything I'd be using a tipper stuff shoveling like that
I’m from Australia as well , are you blind ? There’s lots of waking floor trailers in Australia used for woodchips , peel etc .
@@gusm5128 here where they ship coal from it's tippers an guys that cart gravel an fertilizer use tippers as well must be a regional thing 35yrs ago we had 5 saw mills between a few towns now there all closed an you don't see log trucks any more it must be 5yrs since I seen one
Good video
thanks!
@@StevensLTD your welcome
Those cows will be drunk lol
Trout River Shuttle Floor?
Alot of work to unload, could you use a dump trailer
I have vote 669! 🚛😎
Hey brother. I run a lot of local loads on a walking floor. When those contacts get a little slow I struggle to find loads for it. Is there a load board any of y’all suggest for walking floors or live bottoms?
Never pulled a walking floor and after watching this I’ll definitely never ever pull one , dump trailer is much easier
true that 😂😂😂😂😂😂
hahaha for sure
Walking floor is safer
@@franklackie2469 I’m not scared
@@StevensLTD yep, with a good operator your fine not a place for swifty
3 hours to get loaded? damn ill take nap waiting that long.. and what is wet feed btw? looks like dirt to me ?? wouldn't it be easier to use a dump truck for that?
It is brewers grain, the left over from making beer or some alcohol.
Pulled floor for years leave sweep in watch when load is at bottom of front door release sweep whats left on the tray should be enough to clean the floor. If there not alot of product at the front when your loading pull tarp out few ft n load on it n release as soon as you start unload
thanks for the advice!
Idk maybe if 6” or a foot of your tarp was out when you load it seems like that might work
Are you hauling distillers?
Pull sweep out first then load.
thats a workout
Get a blower and when finished just put it up in the cab that the best way to go buddy
thanks man!
Good thing daddy owns The company All your ass would be standing in the unemployment line
7in stacks?
for passenger cars that don't consider trucks you should have a bazooka on your truck. kaboom and get rid of it.
hahahaha oh yea!
Dude...DUMP-TRAILER !
hahaha i know, we do use it as well
Question why not use a belt trailer?
trying to get one!
Btw belts don't leak like that lol
Just saying , can you haul this feed with a dump trailer ?
I've done plenty similar stuff to that in a tipper here in the UK, can get a bit sticky but all in all no real problems.
Yeah not everyone has a cb
But all I know is I think in Australia truckie has to have UHF’s
And sometimes 4WD’s
Also what year is your truck?
Hi from australia trucks have cb here for lots of reasons an it's not compulsory an a lot of people put them in 4wd an cars also it's by choice
@@peterselten500 well I got told different :/
11:57 use that air horn bud
Forgot to add this....FUCK WET FEED!!!
I have hauled bark and garbage with a walking floor. Never had that much issue. Worst load I had was a load of garbage that had a bunch of drain tile on the floor and it was loaded to the bows in winter …. It was a son of a gun to get that load out but still better then yours. Good luck
lol thanks man!
How long is that trailer?????
53 feet
Wouldn't it be easier using a dump trailer for that
Need to get a little height on that shifter c’mon
haha thats the plan!
That all I pull is a walking floor because I don't want my truck on it side
That would suck no doubt good job though
thanks man!
What a disaster
At least you didn't fall on your ass
Remind me not to take that job!!!
However, A clean truck is a Happy Truck and a Happy Truck is a money making truck. The motto I live by and has always served me well!!!! @ 16:54 learn how to block a lane and that will not happen. 38:07 what a damn cry baby.!!!!!
let me guess... your another sad old man that gets off on picking kids apart on the internet... give your head a shake.. sounds like you still have some growing up to do.
