Dangerous Dump Truck Drivers and My Ridiculous Weekend Mishape. Trucking and Construction .

[@billmoran3812]

Sorry to hear about your butt! Seriously, glad you’re ok. I’ve done the same thing, and it’s no joke. Your son is so sweet to want to call for help. You are a good mom.

[@bbcooter388]

You showed some seriously good backing and trailering skills at the beginning of this video !!!!

[@DauminiqueTheDumpTruckDriver]

BB Cooter Thank You!

[@jofus3604]

My Dad taught me to drive back in the 60's, cars and trucks, of course! He always told me, "Don't think about it as"backing up" learn to drive it both directions!! I noticed how well she slid it in there also!

[@rgman2858]

Thats pretty dope you you dumped both loads like that. When I first saw the trailer and truck full I thought you'd have to disconnect the trailer to dump the truck but nope, that was neat

[@arrowkart4j]

One more thing, drivers like you are very hard to find. Courteous, you care about the equipment and you represent the company well. Keep up the good work. 🙏🇺🇸

[@DauminiqueTheDumpTruckDriver]

Thanks for that

[@marc_428]

My truck is governed at 65mph. No GPS though. Speed, weight and traffic needs 100% focus at all times! Stay safe trucking!

[@redman1964]

Dominique, you seem like a decent person, a very good driver, and talented. I lived in North Eastern Washington state (colville) from 05 to 09 and I'm glad you're not letting the idiots get to you!

[@kcasey1220]

First of all thank you for being a good role model in the trucking industry I love the way you care about what you do and your company also I’m glad to hear you’re doing OK since your fall and of course congratulations on your pregnancy and I’m glad the baby is OK too. Keep doing what you do I love watching your videos!

[@DauminiqueTheDumpTruckDriver]

I appreciate that!!!

[@rons4301]

First of all, I am glad your OK after your river excursion - bonding with your kids can be painful at times! Secondly, what a very good, rational response to people who make rash statements. Your common sense is something that appears to be missing much of the time in todays world. Keep on truckin!

[@saltydog3714]

Safety is always the upmost priority in trucking for yourself and those around you. There are good and bad drivers in every aspect of the industry. Always be cautious and do the very best job possible and go home happy. Another enjoyable video Dauminique, thank you. Doug.

[@josephdennison7077]

Enjoy your videos and you make pulling that trailer look too easy. They maybe here, but I can't remember ever seeing a dump truck and trailer combination like yours in Alabama. Glad you didn't break anything when you fell.

[@DauminiqueTheDumpTruckDriver]

Yeah its a regional set up for sure.

[@tonywhite1774]

I am sorry you fell . Hope you are better soon..god loves you and so do I

[@zavery1645]

Got to love how sealed the cab in a kenworth is that you have to roll the window Down just to get the door closed

[@jddiesel7409]

The only reason they do that is cause they don't use cab vents like everyone else does. The air flow sucks on these things when set for fresh air because of this.

[@robertpowell2746]

Hey girl I am a new subscriber love watching your videos, you got to be one of the prettiest drivers I have seen in a long while and you know how to handle that rig just saying.

[@alanwilliamson9350]

Glad you're ok and yes the tail bone thing is painful. Same thing happened to me years ago, took months for it to quit hurting. Stay safe out there!

[@DauminiqueTheDumpTruckDriver]

Alan Williamson it’s feeling better already. It still hurts but I’m doing better.

[@gwpsr58]

It is so sweet that your son is so concerned for you and the little guy. He'll make a good big brother.

[@DauminiqueTheDumpTruckDriver]

He is a very sweet boy when he wants to be.

[@davemyers3953]

I'm from the NW. Drove for 36 years. Town driving is the most trying.of patience. Keep it up . You have a good job be safe keep the dirty side down👍

[@DauminiqueTheDumpTruckDriver]

Thank you, I will

[@MrStarlin51]

Well from what I can see you are a great Driver and good looking too iv been trucking Heavy haul for 27yrs i neel down to you for getting into this industry good job again

[@murraystewartj]

In BC here and it's the companies and owner/operators who lowball prices, wages and maintenance that concern me. Recipe for disaster. Knew a guy on Vancouver Island who was a mobile heavy duty mechanic. He got called to a local batch plant to replace one set of rear brakes on one of their transit mixers. Fella said it was beyond gone, and a quick check showed the rest were a couple of trips away from that (important since that plant was at the bottom of a steep hill with heavy traffic). He notified the company rep that they should all be done but was told to just do the one, the others were fine. This was a major company with little to no regional competition (and concrete isn't something you buy from any great distance) so their lack of maintenance was down to maximizing profits - they could easily jack up prices a bit to pay for safe trucks but chose not to. It was the same with one motor coach company doing ski hill charters. he stopped working for them because they a) were a liability risk for him and b) never paid their bills. Get the bottom feeders out of any industry and things are better and safer for everyone.

[@renegarza4290]

Bad azz double drop at the beginning. Your obviously one tough gal, pregnant, still being bounced around in that truck AND mending a tail bone. AWESOME JOB GAL !!!

[@DauminiqueTheDumpTruckDriver]

Thank you!!! I'll be ok, it will heal quick!

[@ben1NZL]

What a caring son you have Dauminique, take care out there. People just don't like following trucks and that's pretty universal. I don't drive trucks anymore but would regularly see impatient drivers overtake dangerously when I was.

[@DauminiqueTheDumpTruckDriver]

Yeah I know. They forget that their world only turns because of trucks, all types.

[@matthewthibodeau9373]

What really hurts is when your getting out of a truck and your arm gets in between the stack guard and the cab and get burned

[@paulfrost7418]

Hi Dauminique, I am lucky to drive for a company that encourages safe and courteous driving, we are SAFED ( Safe And Fuel Efficiency Driving ) trained and they monitor the performance of your driving in a similar way to the company you drive for. There are still many tipper operators here in the UK that have a reputation not so much for overloading but for pushing their driver's to the limit which encourages them to speed to get the job done giving them a bad reputation not just within the industry but with the general public also. Sorry to hear about your fall please take care of yourself, I hope you are soon free from the pain and feeling better soon.

[@DauminiqueTheDumpTruckDriver]

They monitor my GPS but not closely. If I was continuously speeding and getting complaint they for sure wouldnt put up with it. Thanks for watching!

[@donnieboyette2216]

From a Kenworth dump truck driver and pilot from NC, keep up the good work and great videos! When you get time to start back, throw in some flying videos too!

[@DauminiqueTheDumpTruckDriver]

Thanks! Will do!

[@JDSWeather]

Some people don't realize dump trucks help build & reconstruct the roads we travel on and help build homes & businesses by hauling materials for New home builds or demo jobs

[@jofus3604]

If u got it, a truck brought it!

[@DauminiqueTheDumpTruckDriver]

You’re right, They dont realize that every single building they go into was build using dump trucks....Trucking keeps America moving and people have no clue.

[@regalnut86]

Geeeez, glad you and the baby are OK! Careful!

[@scottk8245R]

Never seen a trailer setup where you dump while staying doubled up. Pretty swag👌

[@DauminiqueTheDumpTruckDriver]

Its pretty much the most common set up here.

[@okiedragonlady2]

glad to hear all is well, this is Jan '21 so am a little late but just caught most of your videos. good job o n the backing the pup. I agree with you on the good and bad in almost everything. I do almost joking think that everybody should have to drive a truck before they get a license to drive a 4-wheeler so they know just how long it takes to stops one of those beasts with that kind of weight, then maybe they wouldn't be so eager to pull out in front of you. Drive safe!!

[@1tombensky]

Amazing backing up skills, with a long trailer no less! I assume that is the hardest thing to teach new drivers. I drive a 15 passenger van in my job and I'm embarrassed at my poor reverse driving!

[@DauminiqueTheDumpTruckDriver]

haha Thank you! When I started pulling one of these trailers it came naturally to me but it definitely took years to get good at it.

[@michaelsylvester7272]

I have say I came across your channel and I’m impressed on your driving skills ,backing up dumping a load.Making this video You got this !👍🏼 you’re are absolutely very beautiful and the sweetest.

[@DauminiqueTheDumpTruckDriver]

Wow, thank you

[@michaelsylvester7272]

Dauminique The Dump Truck Driver You are more than welcome!

[@joetober5912]

Thanks for a great video with an awesome response to negativity. Well said! Unfortunately, people jump to extremes way too often! Drive safely!

[@larryhayes3822]

thanks for great video.. i agree with your out look all the way.. one thing i found in my 37yrs of trucking is you get what you pay for ( driver pay,, benfit,s ) and even then there was good drivers working for crappy companys,, just starting out ?? etc... also you are a damn good driver from what i have seen.. take care and god bless and hope your butt quits hurting

[@DauminiqueTheDumpTruckDriver]

lol Thank you!

[@donaldswink6259]

My sister was horrible backing down our driveway. I would say keep your mirror straight with the edge of the driveway and you’ll get it. Finally it sunk in with her and now she’s very good at it.

[@kmack8634]

Dominique there are a lot of people who say stupid things because they can and often are self entitled. Often a lot of people say things and have no idea what they are talking about because they haven't experienced some things.Keep up the good work.

[@CableGuy74]

Sorry to hear that someone made that type of comment to you.. Your response of Composure and professionalism is very admirable! Safety is paramount especially when you have a family to get home to. May need to get one of those butt donuts!! lol ( it looks like one of those padded toilet seats, but, its not one).. : ) Good luck with Dr's appt. hope all is well!!

[@DauminiqueTheDumpTruckDriver]

The comments don't bother me, I just thought I would mention why I think they are wrong. I should be better soon!

[@al-Bismillah]

The intro sound of that Cummins ISX sounded like an old Detroit Diesel engine. Very nice!

[@leslewis1800]

talk about bad driver, go to a boat ramp sometime and you will see lots of bad backers. I've got to say Daminique you back that truck and pup very well, and don't let any one tell you differently because you are a true PRO. So keep up the good work!!

[@phithemopar]

I enjoy watching how it’s done in the USA awesome work and great videos I do the same job in Australia and I enjoy it too

[@barryholden646]

Unfortunately we live in a world where certain people like to moan, this week its dump truck drivers, next week it will be taxi drivers ! Treat it as "water off a ducks back" as we say here :)

[@DauminiqueTheDumpTruckDriver]

Barry Holden pretty much

[@mikeadams2677]

I'm with you on the bruised tailbone. I bruised mine pretty bad back in '96. Takes forever to heal, and it still hurts sometimes. A person doesn't realize how much they use their ass until they've injured it.

[@DauminiqueTheDumpTruckDriver]

Lol yes

[@63stratoman]

I was paid percentage (by the load) out in So CA which created all kinds of problems! Speed limit in California is 55 MPH everywhere but my truck could go well beyond 70 (not governed) and I often drove that fast because I was literally in a race with other drivers and yes, we were often “A-holes” out there! I spent about a month at a larger company that paid hourly (and trucks governed at 57 MPH) but hated being micro-managed so I quit and went back to my old truck and stayed there until I got back into Aerospace. Running freight between Houston and Dallas, I run 75 MPH whenever safe and possible (it’s legal here) and the only ones passing me are end-dumpers and Bull Haulers!😎

[@toddrabideau5576]

Glad your ok D. Take it easy and keep backing that pup like a boss👍. AND showing them negative commenters they can’t say ALL drivers, cuz you sure do it right....

[@DauminiqueTheDumpTruckDriver]

I appreciate that

[@jasonl.3220]

Very well put. You have to ignore all the ignorant trolls that leave nasty comments. Most have no idea what they talking about. Be safe, happy and continue to be the great mom and truck driver that you are.

[@DauminiqueTheDumpTruckDriver]

Thank you, I will

[@se9865]

I'm governed at 65 and I have can haulers and dump trucks passing me like I'm standing still in the area between Easton and North Bend. I still wouldn't say it's all of them, but it is a lot, but it doesn't freak me out as much as the guys going over 70 with empty flatbeds when it's snowing.

[@hoolehuarayzed7694]

Just don't worry about the haters, you're doing a fine job working up to your due date, there's bad in every part of our industry, dump, freight, petroleum, even lowboy, people will always complain, we're slow, we're this, we're that, just do speed limit and you'll be fine, I am impressed how you back that pup around, stay safe and God bless!

[@DauminiqueTheDumpTruckDriver]

Oh I know, I just thought I would touch on it. Thank you!

[@craigkelley9316]

I drove 379 peterbuilt pulling bottom dump for years in south Dakota came home my wife left Xmas morning while I was asleep now I run front end loader loading logs I miss it had big cat could ride glad your ok

[@idadho]

The difference is often whether people/drivers care about the details and pay attention to the details. Some do and some don't. Those who don't usually don't care. Caring people pay attention to details and hold those issues to heart. You are one of those caring people who pays attention to details because you care. It is who you are deep down. You live that "I care attitude." Those other drivers just don't care.... They also miss a lot in life because they don't notice others and the details. Yep, You can be miserable with something to put your mind to so you are distracted or miserable at home with just your tail bone to put your mind to. I'm with you. Stay safe.

[@DauminiqueTheDumpTruckDriver]

[@dennisthrockmorton9714]

Some have a gear keeper but the they put it up in an airhorn type configuration and that keeps the CB within reach while keeping the driver safe and sound

[@BobJones-cr1pl]

My Brother drives gasoline/ethanol tanker for a living. His company has GPS, Cameras in and out and Training everyday before he leaves on his route. If they kick that camera on and catches him on the phone or eating or drinking in the cab or the monitor flags him for speed. He is fired on the spot. I dig what your saying. Opinions are like assholes, everyone has one. Keep on Truckin.............

[@DauminiqueTheDumpTruckDriver]

Yeah luckily we don't have all of that, We just have GPS. The big company that I worked for before I moved here got all of that stuff installed after I left though.

[@REDMAN298]

Another thing on dump trucks: here in Wisconsin many don`t have mud flaps. I mentioned it to a cop and he said they lobbied it at the capitol. So the most likely truck to throw a rock at your windshield, or my face while on the motorcycle, doesn`t have to be equipped with mud flaps. Senseless.

[@johncarlsen9318]

It unfortunately never gets better with some drivers. There will always be those that are a menace on the road. Yes, with gps and everything in the trucks it has made a big difference. Whether otr, dump truck, box truck, etc. To me the worst are the drivers in cars, pick ups and suv's. Having driven truck and seeing them in action, they seem to think that any kind of truck can stop on a dime when they cut in front of you because they are in a big rush to get nowhere. Keep the videos coming and know that we who subscribe enjoy them.

People up here drive 5 under in a crossover on dry roads, under clear skies. Some of them are bound to think a dump truck going the speed limit is being reckless 🙄🤦‍♂️🤷‍♂️😂😂🤙

[@larrycobb3102]

Great video. I have too agree with you concerning bad drivers. I will go out on a limb and say that the drivers now days of big companies aren't very good. I blame that on their training. Companies such as Swift put a trainee in a truck with a trainer who may only have 6 months of driving. Even today I consider myself the most defensive driver on the hwy. I drove OTR over 40 years accident free and over 4 million miles before I retired. I have watched your videos and I love the way you drive and that you are constantly checking your mirrors. Your shifting gears is great. Hope you get to feeling better. Keep up the hard work and stay safe and healthy. 👍💕🙏

[@DauminiqueTheDumpTruckDriver]

Just like all schooling people come out of truck driving school with basic knowledge and need a ton of on the job training to get proficient in truck driving. That being said, I couldn’t just go hop in a fuel tanker and be proficient, even after all these years I would need more training. Always be willing to learn!

[@Bigrawr2]

Just came across your content, im a hsavy hauler with System Transport running on in your neck of the woods all the time, keep it up!

[@rickymontilliano8058]

I want say something about how people say trucks drivers are bad drivers. All I can say is with out trucks the world would not move forward im sure you’ve herd that manny times before. Im a semi end dump hauler like you I haul construction material and my son is a semi fright hauler we both live on Maui in Hawaii. Some people should try do what we do then see if there comments will be the same me and my son love what we do and I’m sure you do to ignore the bad comments and keep on trucking have a great day Aloha

[@billyrsnellsr9512]

There's good and bad drivers both in all categories of vehicles. So to the person's pointing out dump truck drivers aren't looking at the bigger problem. Your doing a great job.

[@DauminiqueTheDumpTruckDriver]

oh for sure, I think anyone who blames one group really needs to do a little more self reflection.

Coming from Australia, I cannot believe how long that trailer drawbar is, amazing. Great videos, always interesting to see how things are done elsewhere. Cheers

Hope the tail bone isn't a break. Did that in a volleyball game and hurt for weeks. Didn't heal fully for over 20 years but the pain only seemed to hit with a snap when I was flat on a creeper under a truck. Pain went away with a snap when I rolled out and brought my right knee to my chin.

Well said iam a heavy tow truck driver started out over 30 years ago in Washington state now in So Cal seen many bad things in my years some dont like to talk about specially involving innocent people kids especially what alot of these drivers dont know is GPS and the trucks computer will tell all in a crash might land them in prison same is not securing there loads as well there is alot of Super Truckers out there even more now because of more Automatic trucks everyone can drive now I have pictures to prove it LOL stay safe out there

[@dougjenkins6704]

You are correct. & just because your windshield gets busted doesn’t mean it come from the back of the truck most the time it comes off the tires just like every other vehicle & Oh I thought I was a good driver when I drove over the road but being in a dump truck in the situations we get in im a much better driver now than I was before

[@aliankolea]

Here in Hawaii, truck drivers are paid hourly. Paid from leaving the yard till you return. Some allows drivers paid time to precheck their trucks before heading to the job site. One company in particular will stop the drivers time when he breaks down for blown tires or mechanical problems. Almost all of them will pay for break downs.

[@DauminiqueTheDumpTruckDriver]

Thats good. Here if a company didn’t pay while the truck is broken down on the side of the road they would have problems with L&I.

[@RussellThomas-s2h]

having spent 30- years as a union heavy equiptment operator in so cal you should know that operators hate all construction truck drivers.....

[@arrowkart4j]

Our problem here in New Jersey is the dump truck drivers roll over at least two or three a day. Then they wonder why the State Police constantly pull them over. Consistently speeding. I drove a tri-axle coal body years ago.. My honest opinion some people don't belong in a truck.. I only do tanker and lowboy stuff now.. I was a trainer years ago. Some people downright scared me. I had a woman who trained with me and was awesome and had her stuff together. 40 years of driving a truck, I've seen a lot. good luck to you and your family with the new baby

[@DauminiqueTheDumpTruckDriver]

Yeah I think that NJ is different because the difference in insurance laws. Ive heard that its a very scary place to drive.

[@chrismcfarland1935]

You nailed it. I get payed by hour but run with guys that get payed by the ton. Hate running with them guys they are so unsafe.

[@DauminiqueTheDumpTruckDriver]

They for sure can be.
