I love to see this! As I’m sitting in this semi truck exhausted I’m thinking of how I’m about to pivot back to a “normal lifestyle” of having some form of work life balance.. being able to enjoy my home without being OTR for weeks at a time. I’m surely about to start doing some applications for dump truck positions and pray for the best possible outcome🤞🏾🙏🏾

[@sidbrant]

If the Lord is willing I pray that you get hired! With OTR experience, you shouldn't have much trouble at all

[@dreaforshort]

@@sidbrant thank you!

[@Sauce_AV_SWMC]

Just know at some point you start to miss OTR. It’s a bitter sweet separation

[@dreaforshort]

@@Sauce_AV_SWMC I feel that. I can truly say that in a way I’ve grown “attached” to the freedom I feel out here. But I still wanna be home more often. Seems like the only way to have that balance is local or owner op.

[@Sauce_AV_SWMC]

⁠i completely understand that fr. I’m now local after 7 years OTR/ western regional and some C.A.N runs. I miss the grind hahaha more then I would like To admit. Try looking into box trucking.

I’m about to get my class A, and move to Greenville! Pretty steady work? Here in Chicago, once the winter comes, dump trucks pretty much stop.

Great content can we get more of an in cab view doe why driving

[@chaseschweitzer631]

Great video man. If i may give some advice. Always walk to the back and check your dog ears to make sure they latch. Sometimes they wont catch the tailgate and dont lock it. Better to give it that double check then be liable for a windshield or worse

[@sidbrant]

I actually use to do that but I learned that this truck makes a scraping sound when it latches the tailgate successfully and no sound when it doesn't 😂

Are majority of the trucks youve seen in this field been automatic transmission?

[@sheliabailey6012]

Hello Sid. Did you get your Class A even though it's a dump truck

[@Bandzo15]

Do you need an osha to do dump truck?

[@TristaBeth]

Just found your channel, fellow dump truck owner operator/vlog creator here 😊 Can you share how you have your camera mounted outside the truck? I've been hesitant to try! Thanks!

[@sidbrant]

Hey! I'm actually a company driver lol, but I use a round base magnet with a bolt through it to attach my gopro mount. I usually will stick it on the bed since it's steel and aim it where I want. The magnet can hold 95lbs I believe so it doesn't go anywhere.

[@TristaBeth]

@sidbrant Thank you so much! I didn't think about hanging it with a magnet....I see now that there are some knockoff gopro mounts that already have a magnet too. Safe travels, driver!

[@luisterrazas467]

Do you have to collect tickets when you get loaded and unloaded so you can get paid??

[@sidbrant]

This job actually pays hourly, not by the load, but we write out load count sheets to keep track of what's being hauled. Quarries give out tickets when we get loads from them

[@ronbeats1705]

[@fullcharge8766]

Are you driving a stick shift or a automatic? The reason why I ask is because I want to get my class B but I'm wondering if there is alot of automatic truck out there are no?

[@sidbrant]

Automatic, a lot of companies are now switching to automatic trucks. In tractor trailers too.

If you are gonna spend the money. Get your class A and go to a school where they teach in manuals. The last thing you want is a restricted cdl

[@pg13543]

What do y’all do if it rains and very muddy ?

[@sidbrant]

Usually the dump trucks don't move on rainy days. So we either go home early or move equipment around that needs to be moved to another site

[@kartierholman5849]

Will they hire new cdl holders? I’m currently driving moffett truck at a lumber yard?

[@sidbrant]

Depends on the company, the place I work at did with me!

[@johnkennedysilveira1323]

If you're already driving a Moffett truck combo( class A or B) you're getting experience on what most drivers don't have, Moffett and boom are specialized drivers, it will count positively on your application, plus after 6 month driving you're considered junior driver, no longer a trainee, on your class of course.. but most companies will waste your time, in fact most of us drivers time, sending you, and us. Out with another driver for a couple of weeks.. I think this is a waste of time, couple of days in order to get you acquainted with the job is ok.. more than that is a waste of my time.

[@kartierholman5849]
