I Did A Good Job And Got More Work!

[@MyTractorGuy]

That’s awesome. Repeat customers wanting more work done is one of the highest compliments.

[@formhubfar]

I built up a sizable portfolio of work I had done Chris, got me tonnes of work from it but youtube is a game changer as far as showing your potential customers what you can do.., and boy your work speaks for itself!

[@gethinjones1348]

Things you like to see - a 53 minute long LetsDig 18 video! 👌🏻

[@vhostovich]

The quarry visits are a good addition to your already stellar episodes.

[@jasonlechler577]

Something different

[@francesstratton695]

Hope Uncle John is recovering well…sending prayers and well wishes.

[@bennybooboo83]

I hope the excavator is recovering well...sending prayers and well wishes.

[@marcryvon]

Honestly man, after two 11 hours days, all by yourself (!), you find the time and energy to edit great vids. 😳 How you do it ? Never sleep ? Incredible ! All I can say is, well, thank you for taking us along. So appreciated !

[@letsdig18]

I only get about 5- 6 hours of sleep a night lol

[@robertrockwell7581]

shows the quality of work when the customer asks for more too be done. tell John we all said HI and hoping he is felling better.

[@josephnorton1996]

Takes an artist to grade like that with a mini. I'm a plumber and do a lot of water and drain lines. Many hours on a machine...but that finish on that french drain from a mini is out friggin standing. I'd hire you for more work in a heartbeat.

[@alpharomeo15]

Nothing like being out on your Deerstand listening to the birds in the QUIET and then all of a sudden.... bang bang bang bang... 24 yard dump truck dumping something just right on the other side of the woods.... PRICELESS! 👏🏽👍🏼☺️

[@rolf_pedersen]

Winston would be jealous of the thousands of us who get to ride along with you in the dump truck. It's a pleasure watching you move earth and stone with the various machines, creating beauty and function so efficiently. Quelle artiste! Thanks for the videos.

[@carlmclelland7624]

Damn, Chris, you never fail to amaze me! I've figured it out, though. Your left eye is calculated, vertically in inches and fractions while your right eye is calculated in tenths and hundredths of an inch horizontally. Keep up the good work, you're an inspiration to all of us who wish we could live life over as a heavy equipment operator!!

[@kevinkenyon7045]

Chris, when you’re honest and work hard with no BS it pays off with more work. Thanks for sharing. Kevin

[@michaelpage9883]

Got to love a customer who won’t let you leave! That’s a lot of work in just 2 days for one person. Waiting to see John “walking and working “ around you as you run the equipment.

[@scottsatterthwaite4073]

A customer who won't let you leave is not always a good thing, especially when you have other jobs scheduled. But we all get that one customer that just doesn't understand that other folks are paying for a slice of our time too. You hate to put them off or worse yet, tell them no but sometimes you just have to do that to keep the jobs flowing.

[@specialks1953]

You Have what my daddy called Gumption! I inherited it from him and have been blessed to understand so many things. Thanks Chris for your ethic as well.

[@dennis2376]

Those camera shot of the bucket of the front end loader sure shows how big they are. :) Nice job.

[@rd4660]

I was thinking something like 7-10,000# a bucketful. Yuge!

[@craigwavra3495]

Enjoy riding along with you at the quarry. Now we get to see what John sees all the time.

[@jaredeberly9724]

It really annoyed me at 13:20 when the loader operator didn't honk for him to stop 🥴

[@janlesinski4719]

Your skill is up there with the best of plant operators I have always been impressed with all your work.

[@philbox4566]

Trouble is with going to get your own loads from the quarry is that you can't even complain about the truck driver. :)

[@kellyredinger5974]

Quarry boss: Sorry man. We're short handed today. We'll load you as soon as we can. Chris: Jumps down from the truck and slides right into the CAT seat.

[@marcryvon]

@@kellyredinger5974 He very well could do it ! 🤣🤣🤣

[@jerryupp239]

Yeah you gotta look into a mirror and yell at yourself. 😆

[@910goldrodboyz3]

Very smart man 👨

[@faithford9143]

Congratulations. I am glad people recognize you and great work you do.

[@deernutOO]

Sure do enjoy going along with Chris on his jobs.. quite interesting, and appreciate him taking the extra time to do the video work. And I think it is "work" too. tks.

Always makes it look so easy! No wasted movements and time, just one of the best,,,,

[@ronaldvanotten6812]

Thanks for the quarry tour! You do great work! Thanks, Ron...

[@mljw4080]

I had never seen fill like this used before I started watching your KZbin channel. Wet it down, roll it in, and you almost have concrete. Impressive job!

[@waddeym]

You just got to respect a man that can handle a gas station chili dog. My GERD bows to you.

[@MrCherrybottom]

Enjoy your videos from Park City Utah. You just go around making America Beautiful again.

[@RumMonkeyable]

Good work never goes unnoticed. That's how to build a business! Hope John's recovery is going well.

[@stantodd2769]

Pass on all the Well Wishes to John on a speedy recovery for us Chris. I know he never worries about you out there working your butt off for the Co. He can rest assure you have it all covered. I've seen over the years, you can be a One Man Crew if need be. That's hard to find these days....*SALUTE*

[@george8873]

One of those cases where they say let your work speak for itself. And in this case, the customer recognized quality work and it got you more jobs.

[@daviddraper7364]

nice job chris hope john gets better soon ! waiting to see your 220 back in action!!

[@williamd6967]

Said it many times 18 is a freaking one man crew!

[@DavidSmith-zr3nd]

Good work always begets more work. You'll never go hungry.

[@baileystack1486]

Pretty amazing how much work you get done AND still get a lot of different camera angles. Your feet must never stop moving!

[@reedburke7762]

A little extra time and care goes a long way with most, Good job and congratulations for the repeat business!

[@_iLLuSiv3_]

Time like this you realize how important employees are... John did a lot of the grunt work that you don't normally see. Nice job Chris, looks great as normal.

[@markpashia7067]

Actually Chris is the employee and John is the boss, but he knows where Chris is most valuable and not too proud to grunt. Smart man. Although he should find another Timmy for Chris and stay in the truck seat himself. Grunt work is harder at his age is my guess since I am 67 now. I slowed down a lot in my late forties with heart/lung issues. Wished I could have kept going longer but such is life.

[@stevekissel605]

Great video 👍👍 Good to see a little paint scratched off the new mini.

[@annafraley5388]

Pretty good job you did here “Dump Truck Driver” 🤣😂🤭 I know you’ll like that..!!! ✅ That’s a pretty big rock quarry there, reminds me of the one off of I-40 near RDU airport. 🤷🏻‍♂️ 😎👍

[@C10sRule]

Like many have said or referred to. You took a relatively small job, but even though there probably isn’t the kind of $$$ a pod can make ya, you did the same quality of work as if it was a full canal system!! That didn’t go unnoticed, you were already there, and because of your Uncle John’s surgery, you were due on another job like yesterday!! Hahaha. Sometimes it all comes together. The fact you have built all the skills you have, even like the trucking that’s not quite for you. You did a really decent job and it helped in this case as you didn’t have to pay another trucker to haul the product to ya. Wonderful!! It’s why I keep coming back!! I see now that Brandon (Elite Earthworks for the readers) has a bigger machine he is trying his hand at a pond dredging!! He has even said he learned well from your videos and when he worked with you for that stretch! I haven’t watched the video yet, but that’s next!! Haha. My evening goes to these two videos and then I’m busy watering to keep a firebreak in our area in Southern Alberta! Getting drought here like much of the west in North America! Hoping John’s doing good and take care of yourself! Sometimes a guy can get too busy all of a sudden and slip and hurt themselves,,,,,, I know all too well!!! Hahaha.

[@jasont5635]

Chris you have work because you know how to do right the first time and it was a good thing you had rif raft left over and your spreading of the gravel alot better then having piles👍

[@r1mein54]

Its always good to have repeat paying customers and your skill and detail shows.

[@sydneymcconnaughhay5947]

Truck Driving is a very hard job.I wouldn't want it. Bless all those who do that kind of work. Your very important 👏, Thank you,,

[@mikeyb5581]

Thanks Chris, for the ride along to the quarry. Cool to see the supply side. We are keeping your Uncle John in our prayers. And you too!

[@jerrycrandall433]

Chris, great job on spreading your loads. So many dump truck drivers can't even do it any more!

[@oldfart7552]

No kidding..just had 12 yards delivered to the farm and ended up dumping/spreading myself, the driver had know idea what those chains were for.. no kidding

[@pattyfultz9052]

Another beautiful job well done.

[@stevemartinez6757]

Man if that was a "typical day" (or two) of work for me, I could do it all day every day. It sure beats sitting in an office and in front of a computer all day. If I could go back in time 40+ years I would have chosen your career path. It has nothing to do with the salary or how much you get paid and everything to do with enjoying what you are doing. It's also not about being able to run/operate machinery, but also the manual labor that is sometimes (many times) involved. I just love being outside and working hard. At the end of the day you can look back at what you have done and be proud of it.

[@michaelsinn2992]

Hi chris you are superb witb that skidsteer i really enjoy watching your works keep it comingmy friend

[@GARDENER42]

Looks like the dump truck bed's about wore out at the back lip. No wonder after all the work it's done, especially with all the rock at the veterinary hospital job.

[@garymurt9112]

I'm not certain but they may have old conveyer belts in the bottom to minimize dents from oversized rocks.

[@Kolya_Smirnov]

My parents are both from NC. When I was a kid (a very long time ago) we would visit my Grandma in Durham and we always had to make a trip down to the ballpark to get the best redskin chili dogs in the world. After all these years, I can still taste them (in my mind).

They call that flume in the limestone quarry here ..it packs and really sets up almost like concrete. We once spread some lightly on cleared timber ground. ,it's like a slow disolving lime. Adjusts the PH of the ground.

[@joemascioni3101]

I have been in a hundred different quarries and they are all the same. Pot holes in the driveway! You would think that they would fix their own driveways! It isn't like they don't have the product to accomplish the task. Great job on the extra work project. You make it look so easy. But I know for a fact that is all skill.

You should charge extra for the lovely pattern the skid steer tracks leave in the gravel. 😉

[@Sunshine-wc2jp]

Excellent job! Love your videos- always great work!

[@MOzarkMike]

Spreading gravel where there are no power lines or tree limbs looks doable! Haulers in my neck of the woods would be envious.

[@markpashia7067]

Yup. Has some areas where I had to pay extra for them to make more trips with single axle truck due to overhead clearance issues, but still worth the extra money to save time by having it spread. Depends on the distance to the quarry. Sadly even the single axle guys had to be taught to tailgate the gravel instead of pile it. Don't know how you can be a dump truck driver without knowing how to tailgate forward or backward. Without that skill you are just a driver not a dump truck driver. Sad.

[@oldschoolhoosier]

Gotta hand it to Chris....His pride of workmanship continues to bring in more work which pays for those unexpected costly breakdowns. 😎 Know wonder my son is close to three hundred pounds. Eating those Chili cheese dogs from the truck stops every day....Now he has knee problems claiming in and out of the truck....lol... Chris will need a gravel walking course on his farm....lol..
