One More Day Of Dredging!

only one more day till im done!

[@LilPaulTheDrummerBoy]

Daily words from operators. What the hell is that driver doing!

[@donaldjohnson633]

And the drivers are wondering if their truck bed is gonna have any sideboards left after some operators. Lol.

[@toddreynolds8875]

@@donaldjohnson633 doubt that. Most the drivers already smashed them clear off with the one load they had to put on at yard before they left !

[@timmyfrierson2684]

Chris, the worse thing bout loading trucks is putting up with the drivers, lol some of them you never have to say anything to them but then you have those few that think there big time drivers that will absolutely drive you crazy makes you want to pull your hair out, lmaoooo. Great video brother keep them coming.

[@markg.2501]

What excruciatingly Mind-numbing Work. My condolences to you Sir.

[@popsi50]

Just think about the guys digging red mud on the US-64 project around Asheboro, loading 740 and 777 Cats and solid rock down about 5 ft and you have to dig out 15 ft. Blast and dig, blast and dig. Then it rains for 2 days and ya can't work. Of course the good diggers get paid well. Good video!

[@laszlovass7326]

Can you make a video explaining the business conversation side of this job being restarted. Seems you already had the HOA increase the haul amounts while there multiple times, which is ok, but then you took out the haul road and had it ready for hydro seeding and moved to another part of the lake. I mean like a summary video as this job stretched out with rain and all, and the difficulties that were unexpected or added costs without extra pay. Would be interesting to hear a bit of shop talk on it, without putting anyone down or offending. Thank you

[@marshallmoneymaker8322]

I see we in Maryland are not the only ones with steering wheel holders. The job I was on today 3 trucks hauled 475 tons... and I did 260 of that. This is a daily thing for me, and don't even get me started on them jamming up the asphalt plant lot.

[@lucyandjumper7558]

At least you're gettin it done,thats for sure.

[@rongreene1979]

I couldn't care less how many buckets it takes to fill the truck but I have to watch and count evey one of them. 9. Keep the videos coming.

[@demandred1957]

Just came home from a long hard day of work and boom here's another video from you excellent. By the way I love the outside of the cab view but you need a lapel mic so we can still hear your comments while you're working

Best beginning to any of your videos..... Ever...

[@joshfuller6059]

I am about ready for some other videos besides you loading our mud 😂😂😂

[@joeyj1617]

What is your least favorite type of job to do? Like dredging or clearing land or something like that.

[@watchthe1369]

I sometimes wonder if there is a way to dig that so the silt would clear itself? I guess it is all about the water slowing down as you enter the lake and the silt dropping into the inlet. I just wonder if it would be possible to create a channel that would naturally push it along in the bottom.

[@alleycatvietnam]

Chris, is it just my hearing or does it sound like the hydraulic system sounds louder?

[@ericm8811]

Hey Letsdig18! Have you ever dredged up any absentee votes?

[@navcenter77]

Love the videos Chris one question do you prefer to swing to the left or right when loading. Each operator I know has a preference and mine is to have as much view of the dump area as I can. Keep up the videos as they have helped me become a better operator

Hey Chris when will we get to see the big excavator again? Great video!!!

[@davidcarroll2908]

how do you keep up with your dump truckers billing loads, I assume their different truckers to keep you busy , i dont see or hear you take their name and or pay them. just curious? perhaps its the honor system.

[@letsdig18]

They all have time tickets they fill out for each day. I also write down the time each truck starts and each load so I can catch the ones who try to add extra time

[@RobsTrucking]

How much they get per hour where you are for the triaxles? You all run end dumps?

[@walla2k594]

Can always spot a good truck driver, they are the ones missing a mudflap...

Good to know i am not the only person that truck drivers piss off daily.

[@jerrywaltosz4838]

Whats with the missing mudflaps? I know they pulled off sometimes when dumping.Here in Washington State,The State Patrol will almost always pull you over for missing mudflap.

[@waynetharp]

I wonder how many yards of dirt were moved when this originally became a lake verses what you all have moved just this round... They surely did some dirt work before just building a dam/spillway. Quite the undertaking this time!

Question. Is the mud so heavy that 9 scopes puts the truck at its weight limit?

[@hotrodhog2170]

That and NC has ridiculously low weight limits for dump trucks. I think he said 20,000 was max unless you had 5 axles then 25,000 pounds

Chris, don't get to thinking A Woman can't Drive or Operate. I used to know a foxy young lady who at twenty could have matched you move for move on a dozer, an excavator, or a truck 10 wheeled, tri ax or semi and she did for fun and family not money. She was actually an aerobics instructor and gym owner when she left CT for NASCAR NC..

[@alonzo476]

I always ask for the lady truck driver from the quarry. She can lay crusher run so smooth it looks like it's been paved. Don't even have to touch it with my box scrape. She's a flannel wearing, "butch" type but nice. Been working for them for 30 yrs. She'll ask you how thick you want it and you can measure it with a caliber gauge. I sold excavator, dozer, truck, ect still have to get gravel brought in on my 1/4 mile driveway occasionally.

[@GratefulNachos]

When are you going back to that big ace pond where you cleared so much?

[@super6954]

I think from comments about how much rain they had the pond probably built it's self when the place flooded, If it didn't it will take a while to dry up. weather is their big problem either way on that job like it has been with this one. Many of us have been getting bad weather in North America. At the moment thats not helping with jobs, my issue here in Canada nows winter with snow, winds and frost now it's quit raining after the summer, I can get there to work now but it's like concrete trying to work dirt that was soft 2 months ago .

[@kevin20044]

I bet your ready to do something that's not so repetitive. Looking good though

[@super6954]

If you drive machines like Chris does most of the time it's repetitive, Dig/ pick up, turn, dump, and repeat. then if you get on a dozer its push, back up, and repeat. Pretty well any job like this is repetitive it's just the view out the windows changes every so often, compared to a 9-5 40 hour week sitting in an office somewhere.
