MY DUMP TRUCK ENDED UP ON A WRECKER. What did I do now? Dump Truck Owner Problems.

Love your attitude - take the situation and turn it into a learning experience and adventure.

Welcome to the club. NOW You a real driver 👍🏻😎

[@meathead0813]

That takes character… and the attitude you need to be an owner op… in my opinion. No need to stress over stuff you have no control over.

[@davidmorse8432]

Never saw a failure like that. The drive shaft is supposed to fail before it shears off the pinion. Must have been a fatigue crack in the pinion shaft. I like my Mack differentials because they have double reduction in them. If you ever get into loose gravel or sand and your wheels start hopping, it is a good idea to get a tug from someone because if you keep trying, something is going to break.

[@needaccount9597]

I sold Mack trucks for 20 yrs, Never seen that happen with Mack rears!

[@donmunro144]

Seen it many times. It failed because of shock load. All it takes is one bad hop.

[@davidmorse8432]

@@needaccount9597 For off road service, I like the Mack power train. I have been in some pretty demanding situations and my old "R" and "DM" models always got the job done.

[@noshsreqd]

I've seen a few, sometimes its just built up fatique over time that creates little micro fractures in the shaft and then one day a couple hops of the wheels and bang it lets go. Seen slip spline shafts do the same too. Just get an exchange power divider, swap it out and back to work!

[@StevenBeondy]

Dauminique enjoy your videos as one Tri axle dump truck driver to another I been there, where you brake down and all you can do is wait. Good luck with everything. God bless you and your family.

Can't say that I've broken a shaft but have had u joint fail. Mine failed in the center of town with an excavator on the deck. It happens to all of us. Your friends help because at some point it will be your turn to help them. At least it's only the shaft and not the diff. Not a hard fix but definitely ruins your day.

Dauminique the dump truck 🛻. Great 👍. Dauminique. Friends. Great 👍 Jeff 😊😊❤

[@mohammedali808]

Hi Dauminique. NOTHING to be ashamed about. My old vehicle rode a wrecker many times just like others. When you have an old vehicle, expect any kind of breakdown. Sometimes you run for years without any hiccups. But, we have a phrase--" U work and fix and you fix to work". The top of the broken pinion showed like there was a crack,as it is very dry. Replace the seal for sure and maybe the universal joint (cross ). Do I see cracks at the end of the drive shaft? (welding). Don't give up.

[@darylbeiler3012]

Oh yes… the hook of shame… been there done that! Love your awesome attitude! You’ll be up and running Wednesday!

[@doubleg8030]

When the tires hop somethings gonna pop. Sorry it happened to you. I think we''ve all done it. Our macks used to just twist the axle shaft in half. we had spares in the shop. Easy fix right on site. Those old planetaries were heavy duty. Great attitude though, keep your head up.

[@charles-k2q8l]

[@DauminiqueTheDumpTruckDriver]

Haha I would if I could 🤣

[@jessesager9460]

I think this might be a first for a lot of us seeing this failure! In almost 20 years of wrenching and driving, I’ve seen busted u joints, power dividers and axle shafts, but this is a first seeing a pinion shaft shear off like that! I’d say if a new power divider is readily available with no issues, a couple days. Tim Gentry made a day project out of one!

[@meathead0813]

He had a small team of folks to get that knocked out!

[@jopete681]

You can change on in a half a day

[@steveyountz9184]

Dauminique......You absolutely have the best attitude I think I have ever seen. That would have me very upset, which of course does no good. Good luck with the repairs.

[@DauminiqueTheDumpTruckDriver]

No reason to get upset. Things happen. It can be fixed.

[@lauraducot3267]

Depends on your mechanic..and how hard to get parts. Could be next week. 25 years in construction trucking and I've never seen that. My dad and I had several trucks so we saw a lot of breakdowns!

One heck of a u-joint, broke the yoke. Always fun!!!! If you can get the parts, should be back on the road Wednesday. You fixed the chains.....awesome!!!!

[@davidschabel4664]

I met a women that drove dump truck, we dated when I was home. i owned a beautiful cab over Pete, she wanted to learn to drive tractor trailer. I was leased to a carrier that moved machinery, after six months I went on heavy haul, this happened i the late 1960's and 70' and 80's. the safety director said I can teach, but she can't drive while I'm loaded. She didn't like the idea of empty only. most of my loads were to 10 to 14 wide, with all axles my gross weight up to 160,000 lbs. She wouldn't listen to my telling her what to do. that ended that relationship. I enjoy your videos, wreckers are nice looking well equipped and make a lot of money as you found out. I'll be watching and will catch up on your video's my CB handle was Pull toy,

OMG!!! I feel like I need to start by saying that I am sorry your truck broke down. But....this video was freaking awesome!!! #1 It never fails that your truck breaks down at the most inconvenient time possible. Usually when you're loaded, blocking traffic, and in the rain or snow!! #2 Taking into consideration that you were not "set up" to film this as you usually do, and then did it all with your phone on the fly is very impressive. #3 When you were laying on the ground under your truck being "dramatic", and then got "stuck" in Cole's truck was cracking me up!!! 😆🤣 Last but not least thank you for the footage of the wrecker hooking to your truck, and Cole's truck getting your trailer. Good stuff!!! 😁

[@RDW303]

Dauminique, I like your optimism. But I was thinking you had that other truck you could either drive or steal parts from it to get your truck up. Hope this does not cost you an arm and a leg. Really like that you share the reality of being an owner/operator.

[@richardsowers1588]

That's a first for me, I work on dump trucks and tractors and never seen anything like that, but as long as you all don't have to wait for the parts its can be fixed in a day, I have faith and trust in Bobby that he will have you all up and running and the wheels moving again dont be discouraged just a minor set back

[@RC-Heli835]

Good luck with it Daumi! It'd be nice to see some footage of the repair. We had a 98 KW T800 once with some broken teeth on the bevel gear in the front differential. It was drivable but making a lot of noise. The hardest part was telling which axle was making the noise. We jacked it up with a JD 544 loader where all rear tires could turn and ran it through some gears and finally determined that it was the front differential making the noise. That took most the day to diagnose and get that one out then another day or two to get a reman. Another day day to put it in and back on the road it went.

One towed Dad back to his shop, and the other pulled his trailer back for him. It really sucked though. It put a huge bulge in the right side of the hood. Soooo, new hood complete Engine Rebuild. What a mess. Dad and Dave rebuilt the Engine at Dave's Shop. Dave was a brilliant mechanic and machinist. He had 10 of every tool and 3 of every piece of equipment you'd need for heavy duty repairs.
