Yes, also glad you had the safety bar up on the dump box! All it takes is a hydraylic line to rupture.

[@markdanielczyk944]

We had a hydraulic line fail, box was in the air, blew during lunch break. The safety bar was crushed, no one was hurt, a definite wake up call for everyone!

[@daviddee3179]

The look on your face after you put the second piece of felt on and the noise was even worse was priceless 👌 lol 😂 sorry Daum but thanks for the laugh

[@marcminor7049]

You're the first dump truck driver I follow here on KZbin, I never really knew how dump trucks functioned until I started follow you.

[@shanemcdonald4956]

You and your husband are definitely hard workers.Just seeing that I know you will make it in your business.

[@clydeacor1911]

It's your panel squeaking not the seat, put the felt on the panel. One thing I always keep in a toolbox on the truck is air line of every size (plastic and rubber) fittings are generally reusable so I also have extra ferals. Also a good electrical kit and wire. I don't know how many times it's saved my bacon and other driver's as well. I also have a decent assortment of tools (sockets, wrenches up to 1 1/4" , 2 pipe wrenches, a set of Cresent wrenches, screw drivers, ect...)

[@smengine]

Those are parker push lock fittings on the hoses for your dogs. Just cut the hose off the fitting, trim the bad spot off and push it back on the fitting

[@wssides]

Her husband would know if there was enough length to get away with that. Also likely the hose is splitting due to age and will just split again very soon. Not worth the risk of being stopped at a light on a busy intersection and plugging an air leak with horns blaring and drivers cursing!

[@smengine]

@@wssides what are you talking about traffic? It was the gate dog cylinder! You da man though!

[@wssides]

@@smengine That is a part of a truck air system that I've never worked on or looked at. If it was the cylinder side, why did her husband empty the air tank? Plus she couldn't lower the box to clean out the corners. They thought it was the supply side and as he is a heavy duty mechanic I expect he knew what he was doing. He repaired it and scraped out the corners after his afternoon shift plus she said it was being changed so she wouldn't be stuck on the road during a job.

[@northwoodsguy1538]

👍 Your a great example for young women that you can do what want to do to make a living. My daughter has had strong women in her life and it rocks. She is in Med school right now. When she went to GS camp when she was young they gave the award for Always letting her opinion be known.

[@rexcolbert6740]

Make a cloth type of sack that will fit over your headrest so it won't sqeak. Then you can remove it to wash. I had one for my Peterbilt.

[@marknewell7355]

When i have to cable tie air lines I try use a old garden hose to protect them from cutting into the air line

[@DeuceDevil]

We do the same on the little truck I drive. Extra security for sure.

[@johnhenderson299]

It really helps out having your own mechanic and he's understanding

[@DauminiqueTheDumpTruckDriver]

He’s great

[@lonmorgan5260]

I never realized how involved owning a truck can be. You two are great together.

[@justingregory6708]

Your husband is one lucky guy to have a pretty, hard working woman like you keep up the good content 👌

[@logdog8920]

I'm glad 2 C U had the safety bar up when U R tinkering under the box. Years ago I remember a local "Dump Trucker" was killed when his box suddenly lowered.

[@DauminiqueTheDumpTruckDriver]

Yeah it seems dumb not to have it up

[@travissweeney788]

And yes, everything is looking good at this operation!!

[@6582rg]

You and your husband are the perfect team. Hang in there.

[@Gentryandsons]

My dump truck sucks even worse every time I see your videos

[@DauminiqueTheDumpTruckDriver]

Haha but yours came with a bonus Tacoma….mine didn’t. I’m jealous of that!

Nice looking hoodie u r wearing Dauminique RedSoxs

The life of a trucker wife and mother . great job and work out

[@DauminiqueTheDumpTruckDriver]

Thanks!

[@PulltarpsManufacturing]

Hi, this is Bill from Pulltarps. I've talked with our customer service manager about your tarp getting stuck on the corner of the housing, he let me know that the reason you're having trouble is that the tarp should roll out from the bottom of the roller tube and not the top. Please let me know if you have any questions.

[@bradfordthompson8326]

Your neat Company ever haul track Ballast for BNSF OR UP RAILWAY....ALL YOUR RAILFANS AND YOUR TRUCK TO RAIL TRANSLOADS FACILITIES FANS WILL LOVE THE NEW VIDEO.....YOUR VIDEOS YOU MADE HAULING CONTAMINATED DIRT TO THAT TRUCK TO RAIL TRANSLOADS FACILITIES IN SEATTLE WAS OUR FAVORITE VIDEO....BEST WISHES....ALISE,MARY,STEPHANIE ELIZABETH PATRICIA LOUIS MEGAN LOUIS 😀😄..(The girls )

[@HoppysBronco]

On the tarp motor try an alternator / starter rebuild shop. might be quicker than trying to find one in stock

[@ShainAndrews]

Just open it up and fix it. Most of the time a person can get brushes at Ace or True Value. Over sized brushes can always be massaged down to size, so a person doesn't have to be too fussy. Wort case measure the brushes and order them.

[@DDmm8554]

Can you try dry lube like Teflon or silicon spray for now for your seat! Keep on trucking!

[@jeffreykbevins7116]

Hello Dauminique, I just do this to keep my seats clean but this might help you with your noisey seat problem, I just buy pillow cases and pull down over the top of the seat back and they can be cut up the sides and altered and sewed on each side of the split for your arm rests . And they come in all different colors so, you can find you a color that matches with your interior color . And yes it is a lot different when you own your truck now, instead of driving a truck for a company or for just an individual person . When you are a truck owner is sort of like me myself living here on the farm, there is always some kind of maintenance work to do, even if it's just little things . But that is just part of everyday life, with lots of things . I will see you later so be careful and stay safe out there on the road and keep on trucking. As always, Jeffrey !!!

[@derekjohnson5150]

Well at least you had some nice weather to work on your nice looking truck. Good grief the fuel prices are nuts. Keep your chin up and soldier on. Thanks for another great video !!!

[@johnbuckles3300]

Tut...Tut.....YOU are awesome. Love seeing ladies grab it and go.

[@psg6314]

Thanks, have a safe week

[@donaldclark4350]

I operated heavy equipment for about 40 years. I never like dump trucks or any trucks require a lot of attention. I admire you for your work ethic you probably take care of the home and you are out trucking in the day.

[@myiagreeaccount8307]

Good to hear from you!

[@tonythompson9905]

When the seat is squeeking mamas freaking lol

[@Bigbear4224]

Mink oil, leather conditioner, talcum powder or baby powder should quite down the squeaking. I just don't know how long either will last before it comes back.

[@jeffferanec4526]

Hello Daum, oh yes the joys Sunday dump trk maintenance. U R a very busy Lady to balance all the things. It will get better when the bugs R worked out. We R all pulling 4 Ur success & hope U have a good week!

[@billyshumate853]

Just another day in the life of a owner operator. Good luck trying to sleep in the baby will probably wake you up early 😂😂. Take care and have a blessed week and I'll see you on your next video.

[@JamesWhite-mb8mg]

Work 5 days a week, up at 4:30 am, half a day on Saturday. Sunday, 4 hours to grease the truck, adjust breaks, wash, clean cab and go fuel up. When you get home Sunday afternoon you're to tired to do anything except eat, shower and watch half the game. You speak to your girl and she turns and spits in your face. That's trucking, what a wonderful life.

[@duanenichols2703]

I would weld two aluminum covers in those corners and your issues there will be solved and won't interfere with weight or yardage. Weld just below first front box support . Material likes to collect in those corners this will stop it . 22 1/2 or 45 angle

[@jesset061084]

That’s a Cleetus McFarland shirt luv his channel and yours

[@DauminiqueTheDumpTruckDriver]

Thanks

On my dump truck I pour old cooking oil all around the corners rounded dog box or spray it with Pam

[@jasonjackson7154]

Love watching yall work together, keep the hummer down,👍

[@gerryhartung736]

My son's crib was on wheels, and when he woke in the a.m., he would hold on the top rail an start jumping to wake us up. Crib would move over slab floor 4 or 5 ft. EVERY MORNING!!

[@DauminiqueTheDumpTruckDriver]

Haha that’s hilarious

[@vicpetrishak1077]

The air line is a Push Lock style , cut bad section off and push line back on .

[@rickyunderhill9446]

You have the nice truck to pick cleaning up

[@fordmuscleluis9710]

Fantastic work on Maintenance and repair your truck dauminique

[@droptine7848]

Put a silk pillow case over the seat or a pice or sheep skin from hobby lobby they work grate

[@robertcarpenter5923]

Put a pillow behind the chair. And now it should take care of it or put. Something in the hold of pillow from sliding and you should be fine

[@stepheng1082]

I like that, "A tricky 40 degrees". A great NW thing...

[@DauminiqueTheDumpTruckDriver]

For sure!

[@glennsmith8949]

What an amazing team you an your husband are, May the lord continue to bless you all in all aspects of your life, an thank you for sharing your videos with us 🙏👍👌😀 💙💚💙.

Love the Cleetus Shirt. Looks good on ya.

[@CGT80]

Hell yeah Brother!

[@hammerdown8538]

I know this summer I will be showing lady's in my town your channel to get some knowledge of trucking. Great learning experience too 👍🏿

[@gerryhartung736]

Put an old sweat shirt over the seat back, pin bottom sides of shirt to make it tight.

[@goooch888]

I remember my brother was owner/operator of semi tractor and flatbed trailer, when he wasn't driving he was doing maintenance or sleeping. He drove long haul, him and his wife pretty much had separate lives. He did this for years until it got to expensive to be a owner/ operator, couldn't compete with the big companies. He loved every minute of being a trucker and still misses it, told me once that it became addicting to him.

[@tiotorres7330]

Sprinkle some baby powder on the back of your seat and cab that is what cowboy do to a new saddle when riding a new saddle and they do Squeak like that

[@tanning69]

Love you representing the Red Sox. Native New Englander here now living in Scottsdale AZ. Love your channel.

[@gerryunger2877]

a little duct tape or gorilla tape on the hole. the rest of the tarp looks good you can also get a tarp patch kit

[@KW-qt6df]

[@brucehodges7889]

No days off for you! If you wanna be an owner, you gotta be an operator...Love the content, good luck with fuel prices...

[@pmsecretary52]

Find an old soft blanket an tie to the back of seat.

[@donaldjohnson633]

Try Armorall or spay silicone on the vinyl behind your drivers seat. Should stop your seat noise. Or at least lessen it.

[@benjensen8341]

I noticed your truck has the same suspension as mine. Didn't know if you knew but if you keep an eye on your lower torque rod bushings and change them when they start getting play with the 2 piece neoprene you'll never have to change uppers. BTW the uppers really suck to change.

[@randykaempfe7959]

You're awesome Dauminque keep it up

[@DauminiqueTheDumpTruckDriver]

Thanks Randy!

[@susiemantooth781]

Hey Dauminique you could try one of your hoodie, pillowcase, t-shirt slide it over your seat. Love the t-shirt this passed week it's been my company motto The Right Foot Breaks Shit. 😂 Hope you and Bobby have a great week. 😎👍

[@johndickerson9328]

For the seat rubbing, you could just remove the padding from behind it.

[@craig1lengyel]

Every time I see your trailer I am fascinated. Like I have wrote we don't have that in the Northeast. It sounds really cool and if the motor on the truck can handle the weight and not wear quicker then it sounds like you can make double the money. I would think putting all that weight would lower your fuel economy and reduce the lifetime on the trucks motor. Looks cool either way and thanks for sharing.
