Great job training the new driver, she will make a fine driver for the company as well gain new experiences driving the dump trailer. Its all ways good to expand on your experiences. As well it feels good that you train someone and they are off on their own doing it the way they should drive and dump when you teach them the ropes.

[@aaronymker614]

Good video Mike! Hope you have a good time at super rigs!

[@jasonbabila6006]

The last time I drove a truck with a frameless dump trailer was back in 1989, one important thing I learned from the old timers was to make sure the ground is flat as much as possible and no flat tires especially with those frameless dump trailers that rides only on the rear trailer axle while the dump is up, I remember the company had East and Clement trailers

[@randy925]

Would love to come down and work and drive beautiful rigs like that. Love the videos keep ‘‘em coming!!

Some of these new drivers don't get enough credit. I know a 20 year old who went to CDL school....got her class B and started with a local construction company....within 2 years had her class A with haz mat, and doubles and triples. Recently on her day off I had her ride along with me hauling asphalt.... I don't let anyone drive my Star....but made an exception with her. Super smart, extremely careful.... And the CDL school was so impressed she's going to start teaching part time next year. Nice to see young people who have determination and direction in their life. Congratulations on the new driver.....she landed in a good place.

Carla and Rose were 2 female drivers for Newport Materials when I worked there 2010- 2016 and they were better than many of the guys that I delt with. Even when I worked for Middlesex Corp in Florida a lot of the female drivers were better because they tried harder to be good.
