Excellent video

buy an auto tranny lol

I took my test in an automatic but they messed up and gave me an unrestricted license. I now drive low boys for the railroad in a 10 speed manual Peter. Taught myself and am thriving at my company. Thanks KZbin

Thank you. Very helpful.

I always secure the binder handle to the binder withmany wraps of heavy duty tape to keep vibration from allowing to pop open

How about carrying a leaf blower to clean the mud and dirt off of the machine?

Great vid sir....very informative.

I like floating the gears

I miss my gears slowing to below 15 or 10 mph. I can never get it in gear.

Ran one all day yesterday. Too much fun. Are you lowering the arms all the way down and making your adjustments with the tilt (right pedal)

video helps a lot my instructor never thought us to double clutch he just thought us to “chase the grind”. now working for dot and need to pass a double clutch test. thanks so much !

Have my CDL already love watching these videos don't need the manual about to test and try to get it just in case never know when you might need it.

I recently retired at 56 yrs old and am considering heavy equipment operator training as a second career. I am fit and functional. Is this a good career choice for older/capable people? If so do you have recommendations for training schools or companies? Thanks.

I'm about to pay $25K for site prep for a 40x60 pole barn....ugh! Great ol' Colorado!

I started with 😮a deckover very stable i always was concerned obout rollover i sometimes haul water or a tractor i put

I always say and do ...anything over 5000 lbs should use chains and binders

use a roller for what? You didn't show the gravel aspect

The biggest thing I found, is learn the throttle, when your missing and grinding you either let off the throttle way to much or not enough, just ease up the throttle and make it all one motion. Sudden Downshifting was the hardest for me, the top end went fine but the rolling stops were hard to find gears, you can use the clutch blip the throttle and EASE out to drop it in.

Thank you for your insight on this. It was very informative. I just got my CDLA license today. I'll be practicing this

Top soil is very bad for doing anything on it because it has humus in it. Humus is rest of rotten plants. Very good for growing things but very bad for building anything, roads , parkings. Because humus has very unstable properties : it becomes thin powder when dry, and thick mud when moist. As slippery as grease. And it never stays solid. The soil that has this into it can’t stand pressure without moving, is totally unstable when rain comes. It’s not because of its topsoil name, it’s because it’s full of humus and then is the total enemy of constructions.

Keep doing what you're doing brother

This video is for beginners so I would look at and it's not stupid for for who ever said that comment

Saturday, every bucketful was photograghed and metal detected. Sunday, there was half as many people as Saturday. They all mostly stood around bullshitting and not paying attention to the dig, like they did on Saturday. They shut the dig down and said there was nothing there. They gave the operator a ride back to the shop, because the Duramax's fuel was jelled up. He said he couldn't tell if the machine was moved through the night, because of the early morning snow. If I remember correctly, there was a piece of a large bolt and a chunk of cast iron plate found during Saturday's dig. It was stopped short of the depth due to lots of water.

3:35 , looks like the spot of where the excavator was parked. From a picture that I had seen.

All load ratings specified by the manufacturers are straight pull. None of yours are straight, and that one on the front in that oblong hole? Yikes, that killed whatever rating that turn buckle had. Consult a load master for aircraft handbook before advising others.

I don’t even load my equipment I just drag it with a chain behind my hybrid pickup truck

Great recommendations! Thank you very mulch!

Just rev it up and go back to the gear u were if you miss it

I can tell being a heavy equipment hauler, I always hit the chains with a breaker bar/pipe to make sure they are tight. A lot of time you think it's tight, be there is actually a "knot" in the chains, and the first bump you hit, you get slack in the chains. You will be surprised how often you think your chains are tight but they are not. You want have to pull over and check anymore doing this, but you should still check them when you stop for something else

Just wanted to let you know. In an emergency, You can use the CLUTCH BREAK to shift into any gear you want. This will stop transmission from rotating, and you can shift as if the engine is off. Then, gradually release the clutch. If you choose the wrong gear you may blow your engine, but you are able to shift into any gear from neutral, while the truck is in motion.

If I have a choice, I always place the binder on the curbside of the trailer so if I must stop on the side of the road to check or tighten a binder, I'm not subject to passing vehicles.

Let’s do this!!! Great video

Excellent video, I'm a career oversize carrier, the way you did it is 100% legal, the oblong hole you used in the lift arm is also used with a T-hook, that eliminates the side load on your hook, again great video, Just wanted to throw that in. All the best.

this guy is absolutely legendary on explaining this stuff, thanks bro i appreciate it very much

You should get used to securing your load on the passenger side of your trailer. That way you aren't out in traffic messing with ratchet straps or binders when they loosen up.

These "how to load your trailer" videos are hilarious. Jonny come lately just figured out there is a wrong and right way to load trailers. Town folk.

Excellent tutorial. Thanks for this!!!💯💯💯

Yes ratchet straps can 100% be used as long as they are properly rated and in like new condition. I proved a PA State Trooper wrong on that 2x's.

Unfortunately trucking is a thankless profession, folks don't usually give you a thumbs up, they usually give you the finger!!! It might look easier than it is but like most things it aint! Good luck rookies!!!👍

How do excavator operators know how deep they are digging?

Where the fuck Is this money bitch!!!!!

Outstanding presentation. What a great job of breaking down mechanically what is physically intimidating for almost everyone in the offing. WELL DONE!!

Thanks for this video. I test out this weekend but have trouble finding gears sometimes. Especially 2 to 3 and 5. I think my problem is i have it revved up way too high when moving down the road and with traffic around you it is nerve wracking to learn. But going out on the road again today so will give it a try with your video in mind.

U grinding 2 much for me prob bcuz my dad taught me on a 18sp... Nevtmnd

After owning approximately 10-12 trailers of all types in 25yrs I've learned a few things that apply to all of them. 1. Always over rate the trailer by at least 1 to 2,000lbs for what you are towing. 2. Never buy anything that comes with bias ply tires. Radials only 3. Always get the larger axles if you are close to maxing out the axle rating 4. Stay away from all the cheap brand trailers like Diamond Cargo etc. They are cheap for multiple reasons. Doesn't matter what type 5. Always carry a laser temp gun with you to check hub temps. Record how hot they get new and then grease when you see the temps start to go up on every trip over time. 6. Only buy what your truck can pull. Do not get close to the max capacity of your truck. Always stay under that by around 2,000lbs. This will save your transmission 7. Do not beat the hell out of your truck by revving the engine to death. Keep the rpms as low as possible and just let the truck do it's thing. 8. Always grease your ball fellas lol 9. Never ever lend a trailer to a friend. Ever. 10. If using a lower load rating tire from stock, always upgrade the tires to the next load range up when time to replace 11. Never have the gain too high 3 to 5 is normal range. Cheaper to replace brakes on truck than the trailer. 12. Always display your trans temp guage. Anything past 215 degrees you are getting into the damage area for a trans. If you run your trans that hot often, change trans fluid often. It will save your trans. 13. People are like distributors some are advanced and some are retarded, don't let anyone tell you anything about trailers that can't even back one up.

excellent explanation. All questions answered...

12 minute video for this bs i can do it in 4 mins 😂😂😂

Great Video 👍🏽

You’re so calm explaining man please make more content this was so much better for me to understand

Where are you from? Minnesota?
