Ok side note; I've worked in a wearhouse, doing order picker & packing yeah you need to have " your work space" at a proper hight. When does a trucker " coat" the inside of their dump truck's bed ? Is that for hot asphalt 🤔

[@Charles-re4vd]

Ok I've seen them up close, but wasn't sure of it's proper name. Ty for that bit if knowledge 📝👍☕😎

[@RazingthenRaising]

I have been documenting some construction in my area. There have been several placements and removals of asphalt during the construction. It is really amazing to see all of the steps that have to be gone through to create a new roadway!

[@OldTrucker958]

I’ve been driving trucks my whole life and have always prided myself on being a professional. You young lady are just that. Women are good operators because they don’t have big egos

I agree with your assessment completely

[@flyboy6876]

They also take better care of your truck than men do. I actually prefer to hire women for that reason

[@hawki5120]

@@flyboy6876 II don't know about that. I know several guys who are fanatical about keeping their stuff clean and maintained. That's all about the individual.

glad to see the truck back in action again , taking on jobs where ever and whenever (within reasonable times) i hope you get on a good summer construction job hauling many loads . can't wait for the next video

[@robc1961]

Glad you are finding work. Hopefully the summer will be as busy as you want. Be safe.

[@Paws4thot]

Grinding or milling, or we'd call it scarifying in Scotland where I live. Whatever; it's the same basic machine taking the surface off the tarmac and leaving a rough surface that new hot cure asphalt will stick to well. Here we'd have you sit in neutral, h/b off and the machine would push you forward. This is the first time I've seen this process from the headboard rather than from standing at street level.

[@supersalty2182]

1 honk stop 2 honks move many honks full. I see the end as it's loading just fine. Easy work. 😁👍

[@Tier1American]

My leg gets sore just watching this. Riding that clutch for hours on end while milling sure does a number after a while.

[@bradlavassaur8265]

Very cool video! So, first, the driver on the radio commented what I was thinking. I never saw a grinder operator swing the conveyer from side to side while loading before, especially in such a confined area, plus having cars so close. I'm really surprised that they didn't close off one section of the lot at a time and grind section by section. Safety on a construction site is usually the first consideration. I drive trucks in Oregon, and one of the many features of a diesel-powered truck is the fact that you can put it in gear and idle along without touching the throttle. Great for backing or going forward in tight spaces. Love it! You also answered another question I had by simply dumping the load in a recycling yard. I didn't realize they could recycle such material. This was a fascinating video. I really appreciate you for taking the time to share it. Thank you very much, and safe travels. Love your videos! 😊

[@StevenMeckstroth]

First time I saw asphalt grinding was US 30 in Indiana. A driver asked on CB what was happening. I told him they were recycling, picking up the potholes and putting them back down somewhere else. 😊😊

[@roadrailer1656]

Nice work Dauminique. You're better than a lot of the ones I drive with. Ah a Wirtgen medium miller. Our company used to have the big one. We called it snaggletooth. Because some of the sockets couldn't hold the teeth well. We still have the other big one. Odd that they use the horn for movement. Our machine, as well as the contract machines we hire, have a 6-foot rod mounted on the side of the boom. It's mounted at the end with an orange flag. It sticks out and is visible in the driver's mirror. Most just start with the flag at the gate. Let it come up around 4 feet. Then pull forward to start at the back again. The op uses one beep when he's stopping and raising the head. And 2 beeps when you're full. When we're using the 6-foot head. If it's a 4 inch or deeper cut. We get loaded in about 2 minutes. But that's just for interstates and main roads. Developments like that are a big pain. It's a rat race where even the rats don't wanna be there. : )

[@NorthStarVentures]

We take grindings like that, crush and screen them and use the material as an economical alternative to hot mix paving. It works well and a great way to recycle :)

[@billkroczyk3749]

The 1 gentlemen mentioned about him swinging his boom left to right in all my years I have never seen that done and I said it when I was 21 years of age and I'm now 53 never seen that done before

[@jwalkinshaw]

That is a cold mill asphalt planer made by a German company, Wirtgen. Very high end, very accurate machine. We called it milling asphalt.

[@chiefvilla3167]

Nice see you back on the road again, little sister..🤙👍🙏🫶😎

[@carolinemo1]

Great to see you back on the road again

[@danj4900]

Another great video. Its a cool view from your box seeing the conveyor shoot the asphalt. Thanks Dauminque!🤙

[@KennethLemley]

I'm glad you got your truck back and up and running

[@tomr9509]

Any milling machine that I've been in front of they have orange flags on either side of the conveyor belt so you can pace your speed with the grinder. Makes it much easier.

[@DWRivers03]

Hi Nikki…. Truck sounds GREAT!!!!… Happy that your back in the saddle doin your thing!!!😅😅😅😂😂

In BC most of them now use Wirtgen machines with arrows and colored signals which makes it easier

[@vttrucker]

A good milling machine operator will hang a flag at the end of the conveyor sticking out to the side so you can see where the end of the conveyor is at so you can load your truck evenly and not accidentally get too far ahead of the conveyor.

[@OldTrucker958]

That’s how we do it in upstate New York

[@vttrucker]

@@OldTrucker958 yup. Same over here in Vermont

[@bradchandler6967]

N.H. in the house again..I've done quite a bit of milling over the years..some with my triaxles and some with my dump trailers (the ones that scare you !). Parking lots are always more challenging, especially with a trailer. As someone said, some guys will run a rod out the side at the end of the chute with a flag on it so you can see where it's at. At night they'd have a little light on it. There are good ones to work with, and there are some that have lousy communicating skills between truck and crew. But hey--you did awesome as always !! I hope you have a good summer, and I'll be watching and liking !

[@therealdjskam]

No flags needed. Just experience.

[@timheasley612]

When i dove in Pennsylvania we called it a milling machine i love your videos thanks so much ❤❤

Thanks liked that camera. Be safe!

Great video of D.C. I have not seen any of the town since kids were maybe 8-9 years old which was probably wow 40 years ago. Very good relaxing time for your trail family. Thanks

[@gregtincher1971]

This came back up on my feed again. I always enjoyed milling. The biggest milling haul I ever worked on was on I-85 in the north bound lane that ran by the B.M.W plant down around Spartanburg S.C. pretty much cake work except it was an all night haul and traffic was everywhere.

[@adamdevirgilio9491]

I just did this for my township that I work for..the Milling machine had an orange flag on the side of the belt so you knew if it was in line w your tailgat you were always in the right spot..

[@krishimmel6747]

I do this kind of work in Las Vegas usually with a 7 axle dump truck aluminum box

[@kentedwards891]

Good to know grinding (we call it milling in W. KY) is done elsewhere with hot traffic. Milled a local Interstate a few weeks back with only orange barrels between us and hot traffic. We have ground guides instead of horn beeps. Really felt for him because he was an arms length from traffic.

[@jimmckenzie9324]

Hi Duaminique, thank you for another great video. You are so girl next door and real that's what makes you so good.

[@supersalty2182]

In San Diego we call it a Asphalt Grinder. It does do that. 😊

[@stephenwinter8892]

I have a stupid question but here in Ontario dump strucks usually have a shield that covers the bed when fully loaded it appears from somewhere is the back and ends at the top above the cab

I'm so glad to see there's more woman driving Class A and B trucks. I'm hoping to be driving soon. 👍

[@kenneth3530]

I work as a state highway construction inspector, and I would love to have you on one of my jobs. You would be shocked how many drivers cannot drive a truck in front of a mill. We do miles of milling in the projects and it gets so frustrating. The worst thing is that we do it under lane closures, with flaggers and pilot cars so the crappy truck drivers always hold up traffic.

[@JohnfromEngland]

Live watching you because you never have a bad attitude even when you are in a sticky situation See you next time and safe trucking

[@barrymuskus67]

VERY impressed with your driving and maneuvering skills Dauminique.

In the Midwest, we call it milling. We refer to the machine as a mill. Thanks

[@benwilkinson8636]

Why doesn't he get a radio so he can communicate what he wants you to do?

[@donmunro144]

I always preferred hauling blacktop over grinding. It was grinding and blacktop all summer, then hauling snow from the blower all winter. Sucked but made me a much better driver.

[@jarridcockey3810]

The smartest option would be to close down the parking lot at least till they done the asphalt milling. But then again I won't forget the time I was with my mom a while back at the car dealership and they done the milling in the rain withe dealership still open. I think the milling machine was a kitty cat but can't remember the model right of the top of my head.

[@trucker85d47]

Nice to see you back at it noticed that you have some plywood on your driver side of the bed needs some attention, bet you’re glad to be back in the truck stay safe 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🙏🙏🌹

[@shawnjarman9860]

Here in Nevada, we call this milling, never heard anyone call it grinding, but it works, as that’s what the rotor miller is doing, grinds up the asphalt, and seems the guys the mill there do the same here, over load

We call it cold milling on the east coast Canada 🇨🇦 NB province I've seen them post a guy at your tailgate to give you direction, too much honking, I'd get confused on the one/two honks guy twitching alot on shoot.

[@OldTrucker958]

We use our milling sand mix them with smaller stones and tarry oil and pave our backroads with it. We call it pug milling

[@supersalty2182]

Construction and Trucking seems to be slowing down here in San Diego. You noticing any slowdown there in Washington Dauminique?🤔

[@gregegan6111]

I have a wireless camera mounted in the front of my box. Works great at intersections or anytime you can't see the operator

[@JR18250]

That’s about the dumbest operation I ever saw for a milling project with the traffic going in and out

Great to see you hauling again .. What do they do with the grindings ?

[@mowerjeff8990]

When they do apartment complexes around here they either do half at a time or all of it. If your cars aren’t out of the way. They get towed.

[@doogledorf397]

I do this work in England. Driving a tipper under a planer.

Good Job! I work with grinders all the time.

[@arkansas1336]

Grinding was a pay item on some of my jobs which I subbed out. But it was a hard part of the job to figure actual costs. I was paid a lum sum fee where I imagine you were hopefully paid by the hour. Thanks for the video.....showing me why I enjoy retirement.

6:08 - My thoughts, exactly. Poor planning exposes everyone to potential agita, liability, and litigation. (Also, the part about "I am not here to think" hit me in the feels 🥰)

B.C. department of highways has a cool machine that rips up the asphalt reheats and oils it then lays it back down on the roadway
