"Great big fuckin' moose there, you can't miss it" LOL
those old foreman guys always have something funny to say đ
That guy's instruction was annoying.
@klyddkross nah you just have no sense of humor
Lol...typical site boss. Size 2 hat and size 13 shoe..lol
"Just go this way and take a left, then go that way and go right. Cross the tracks twice and vere left. Go right at this place, left at that place, veer right and you are there. Real easy. You can't miss it." lol
đđ
Nice to finally see a triaxle driver not tailgating in the left lane doing 87 mph and cutting people off In and out of the lanes.
quit calling me out
its a 5 axle
Iâm guessing you live in Virginia too. đ
@@justinstamper6219 so you got the joke
That Volvo is slick!!! Such an overbuilt and capable truck.
Thanks!
Nice rig, I hope at $300k you are getting consistent contracts to cover your cost and make something well to live on. I always appreciate entrepreneurial people and want them to succeed in the most honest and easy way possible. Precisely what we are missing nowadays due to big corporations. Stay safe driver âđœđșđČ
thank you for the kind words
Can you do a video about the dump truck business? Everything from buying a truck to finding customers.
Where do you live?
If he paid 300,000 for this oneâŠ..I have one for saleđ
Just a little click bait but the price isnt far off. If I had to guess brand new its $275k
@@OneShot_GAdd tax and it 300k
I've been retired for about 20 years. I used to haul material to feed a cement plant, the last few years part time. KW cab over with a 34' dump, w/R permit. That's a sweet looking truck with all those Alcoa's!! Things have changed, your missing a pedal on the floor! LOL 8) I was so used to shifting 12 up and down I could do it in my sleep, I did some days LOL. I can't believe how smooth the new ones run with the auto! I've done some 2 man long/wide/heavy OTR since I retired, still no auto though. Very nice, thanks for the ride!! 8) --gary
thanks for commenting! yea i still enjoy manual haha
You are on the ball - hence the heads up on new loads ! Excellent - - -
Thatâs a beautiful truck. Also itâs hilarious how some doubt the price of this truckâŠ. Bro, a pickup truck costs $105k, donât bring up semi trucks you bought in the 90s and early 2k prices lol⊠this was very interesting to watch. Subbed đđŸđ€đŸđđŸ
Thanks, appreciate the kind words!
My 2024 Ford F600 hooklift was $145k. $300k for a new dump truck is not as outrageous as most people think. Everything is expensive.
What a Beautiful Rig! I would be Crapping my pants every time that Loader got next to it!
Love the foreman directions ! Good guy on the work site -
That truck is beautiful, and a work horse! Congratulations!
thanks!
@@lifewithhelge you deserve it!
Wow, old fashion directions, turn at the Moose Lodge, you know its the Moose Lodge, there is a big Moose out front!!! How funny
âGreat big **fuckin** Mooseâ đ€Łđ 5:33
Itâs not a âLuxury Dump Truckâ without a nice sleeper.
sort of agree... but they don't make dump trucks with sleepers
@@lifewithhelge I actually seen a dump truck recently at the west coast with the smallest sleeper you can get.
â@@lifewithhelge is the all of USA? Im aussie and we have a lot with sleepers still. But assume US does less away work for dumpers
â@@audoinxr6372 he's in canada đ
I bet Western Star would make you one here in Canada if you wanted.
Idk what it is about dump trucks but I saw a dozen of them brand new probably 2024 working through the target parking lot and they were beautiful
thatâs awesome, glad to hear about other fellow truckers
I drive a PACCAR K/W T-880, & I hate where they put the air brakes. It's down by where you'd set your coffee cups. What an asinine ideal. Every truck that I've ever driven has always had the brakes set up high on the dash, like you have, easy & a more natural movement for the driver. Nice vid. thx for sharing. Drive safe. đ€ đ€
All the lift axles are confusing for an Aussie. đ
We have maybe 1 and thats it. But our tippers/dumpers nearly always have trailers too
You don't have 50 different countries to deal with like the US does.
Rhode Island Saying injoy your new Ride đđ
thank you sir !
Thatâs the best truck Iâve ever seen â€â€â€â€â€â€â€â€â€â€â€đđđđ
thank you! they do look pretty good đ€©
Good video - thanks .
Bob Nuss has a truck museum in Rochester, his open house is worth the trip.
You didn't give any specs on your Wolwo(that's from one of the neighbor kids, I thought it was funny) or the box. You didn't talk about the tranny, engine, gearing or what you thought of the ride & handling? This is a 2024 model? Did you install the CB or was that a Volvo option? Maybe you could mention that stuff in your next video & Thanks!
Ill be doing a a separate video all that info
Nice looking truck!
Thanks đ
my 70k truck does the exact same for the same rate as that
that's awesome man!
I wouldnât air the bags/bellows down when loading to make the truck shorter. Let those machines reach and even beat that board up if you have to. You donât want to stress your bags trying to air up and pick the load up. They are also made to compensate for the weight difference around the body.
thanks for the tips!
That's exactly what I would do. Inflated bellows can explode when taking a big heavy load when it's dumped fast. He's doing the right thing. Heavy haulers: like, excavator, wheel loader, big dynamos that are loaded on a trailer with a crane: ALL drivers air down their bellows. If the bellows can't pump it up: you're overweight. Bellows should be able to take the load.
That's a nice truck!
Beautiful Truck!
Its just a dump truck. Nothing luxury about it.
That is a gorgeous truck!!!
thanks!
Awesome truck â€â€â€â€â€â€â€
Very professional and well spoken. New subscriber.
Welcome aboard!
Bro was workin in my hometown I can spot that moose lake on ramp from a mile away and London road I bet you have fun on that hopefully you didnât have to drive on that all day
it was a nice work day up there in duluth!
beautiful truck
On the ball , ready to go , set up to work ! Early - good attitude , etc . Be cool - work hard -
Be ready early ! FN A
Good stuff.
I'm guessing the payment on that truck is close to $3000 a month for ten years.
Love the truck. Cool video. How many trucks do you run?
I had a buddy with a Mack truck like that he got hit by a train I said how was it like getting hooked by a bull
Thats a neat looking truck, is it the 16 litre?
I've done asphalt before. Never again. I hated it. Sand, gravel, dirt, asphalt CHUNKS I gladly did but I never wanna deal with asphalt if I ever stop driving Semi's and go back to Class B Dumpers (or dump trailer semi work).
Maaaaan I would touch no dirt with that truck lol
Great video! Are you interested in testing vehicle lighting stuff from Suparee? I mean sponsorship.
Potentially. Please send business inquires to:
inquireoleg@gmail.com
Looking forward to hear from you.
Nice truck bud!
thank you!
Nice truck good luck
I guess transfers are a thing of the past and big boxes with pusher axles took their place, I've only heard of one fatality where someone walked between a transfer thinking it was a ten wheeler.
yikes!
@300k there young feller, you had better have alot of work and hope for zero break downs, i've seen many owner operators go down fast, little things like, payments need to be paid even if not working, blown engines, rearends, fuel, cleaning, permits, oh ya insurance, would have bought a 75-100k, for good top end used, worked from there, but hey what do i know, oh ya did i mention i was a highway supervisor for 30 years now
thanks for your comment!
Beautiful truck, take a picture. They donât stay that way long.
For sure!
Man y'all are nice. If I don't back up at a perfect 90 i get told to fix it or fuck off.
sometimes it is like that sir
At our quarries, the drivers are never allowed to exit their truck until leaving the exit gate.
Nice truck, ref the 3 smaller wheels, are they on lift axles? Do you use them to reduce your axle weight? At what weight would have to use all 3?
as soon as i get loaded I have to drop my axles
What kind of weight can you haul with 4 drop axels ? When I drove a triaxle in ont we could only be 40,000kg max
about 19.5 tons
@@lifewithhelge Yes pretty close to here then ,
Sucks other states canât canât load like we do in Michigan I haul 33 just in my lead and another 19 in the pup
that's awesome!
I love my vhd. Definitely doesn't look as clean as yours but nevertheless, it's a solid truck.
Nice truck đ
Thanks đ
Air bags suspension?
It doesnât have a heavy duty suspension?
Do you generally get paid tonnage or hourly when working on those large projects?
answered your questions on the live!
Beautiful rig... nice 2 c a volvo dump truck... how long have u been trucking
thanks! 9 years
@@lifewithhelge congrats ...just luv d truck... but when u looked into this did u consider buying a petey or Kenny dump truck...
Are you having any issues with the air ride? I wonder how it would do here in Seattle.
not as of yet, air ride still good!
Oooohhh luxury comes in a little heavy. Maybe cut some fancy out and get 21.5 or since weâre âluxuryâ put an aluminum bed on there and get 23 and you wonât have to haul any big rock
thanks for the tip
Gorgeous truck! All the best in your future. Take good care of it and itâll outlive everyone else.
That's the plan!
Can you please explain why would you need the extra axles Is there roads or laws which requires you to have extra axles ??
Great question. Yes each state has its own bridge laws which effect your total legal gross vehicle weight. In Minnesota 6axles gets you the most gvw and still being able to get into city streets and all. there are also 7axle but they are rare for now
How do you get loads for a dump dropping cards off at companys or brokers or word of mouth. thinking about buying a dump trailer for my semi cuz I put a Wet Kit on it so was just Curious>?
short answer: Contractors and Brokers in your area
Bro what do you use to record? Iâm looking forward into vlogging and recording as well
just my iphone, tripod and a clamp mount. Check out the description for the links on products i use đ
@@lifewithhelge thank you
sorry im going to need more of these videos
That luxury dump truck must be around the same price as the Lucid Air Saphire, which is the fastest EV.
Man... this is a big dog.. nice truck keep it nice...
doing the best i can sir, thanks for your comment
Do you get paid by the load or hour? You had to sit for quite a while for the driveway project.
that specific project was paid by the load
Whats gross vehicle weight on that with three pushed axles?
Minnesota đ€
How many tons you haul? What are the work months? Or do you work all year?
19.5 tons. 8 months or so are busy
How much revenue did the truck generate that first day with the sand and the rock? I haul Milk in Tillamook Oregon and have a colleague that owns a dump truck, and he like to talk shop quite a bit, but he has done so many different types of jobs with it, its hard to understand exactly what He Generates.
nice to see you in the live!
The algorithm sent me.
I was going to bust your balls about driving a BMW. My mechanics shop owner has a BMW too. Drivers who tailgate me or cut me off are usually bmws. My wife had dump trucks years ago. Used to call them dirt dummies. Rates were crap back then,hopefully they are better now.
What's your gross weight with that truck with all them drop axles
GVW is registered at 69,000. each states has its own regulations and bridge laws
Trivia question: 53 or 54 Chevy? I'm thinking a 54.
What are the six smaller wheels for that are not on the ground?
answered your question in the LIVE :)
@@lifewithhelge what live?
How do I get to do thing for a living⊠as an owner operatorâŠđą
Why does the truck have 3 retractable auxiliary axles?
because of bridge in my state. if you wanna haul more you gotta have more axles basically
What's the weight rating difference between a quad axle and a quintaxle?
quad is around 17tons, quint 19.5 tons
How long will it take to pay for the Truck ?
not planing to pay off the truck
What do you think of the i shift?
mine has an Allison in it. I-shift stay away from
Everyone commenting on costs and making money, he did say 24 Hour Shift. Working harder solves alot of problems.
agreed!
BR trans-cargasâ€ïž - đ - đ - đ
That truck is very nice but 300k idk man thats a bit crazy for a dump truck
3 pusher axles? Whatâs your gvwr?
69,000lbs
It looks nice to me only problem i have it's an automatic transmission i hate automatic transmission vehicles
I like the automatic because there much easier to drive for paving and plus you CANT find a driver right now that drives manual.
I never cared for them either but they've come a long way.
âBig fucking moosâ đđđ
Damn How Much Weight Can You Legally Put in That Monster?
registered at 69,000lbs
Those instructions alone followed by its easy is just nah
yea sometime they expect you to know whatâs going on, even though itâs your first day on that job site, but all you have to do is just ask sometimes, instead of pretend to know everything
Where are you out of
There is no way that scale on the loader is any bit accurate. The right way to do it is for them to have inbound and outbound scales to weigh the truck.
sometimes they don't have inbound and outbound weigh scales
Look at those cute ass smaller rims and tires
i like how they look đ
@@lifewithhelge there adorable
Sucks they gotta Scratch That Pretty Bed!
Whatâs so luxury about it ? The price tag ? Youll learn too . Oh btw I to drive a 300,000.00 dump truck and it sure wasnât a Volvo .
awesome congrats on the truck
Is FYI, good buddy be careful feel like that with your door open that nozzle pops out of that tank. Itâs gonna douche the whole inside of your cab with diesel. Come on.
Thanks for letting me know. However, i actually canât close my door because of how the nozzle sticks out of the fuel tank while fueling. also never heard of that happening to anyone before đ€·ââïž
Sighs, simply glorious⊠đđ Iâm going to steal going to douche the whole inside of your rig⊠yes, Iâm going to steal that indeed đđđŸđ€đŸđđŸ
What makes it luxury? Looks like a standard US truck
massage and heated seats make it luxury for me
God bless you , these new Trks are way overpriced.
Whatâs the hourly rate where you work ?
THANKS! it really depends on the contractor and if itâs by the load or the hour
Ever think about buying DAF or MAN trucks?
I know they are used in europe mostly never seen anyone with them here in the states
American Volvo , Nice , Nice , Nice , Volvo forever â€ïž
Did i hear right, only 19œ ton loaded?
* if so why so little for a truck with 3 lift axles
thats it? 19 tons on a Michigan Bridgemaster???
