The STRESSFUL Reality of MULTIPLE Business Ownership! 😬

[@Jhhardwoods]

I fill your pain. People don’t understand what it takes to run a business or business’s. They think it’s easy and you’re just raking in the cash. They don’t realize all the sleepless nights and hours you put in. Much respect for you and how you treat your people. From Cajah Mountain NC

[@TheRealMrDiGG]

It's overwhelming some days! Thanks for watching in NC

[@CABTRANSPORTLLC]

Buisness Meetings and DOT all in one day is overwhelming! Keep up the good work things look promising on the new landfill cell! Southern IL crew cheering y’all on 👍

[@maryburke5559]

I'm glad you passed the test ! All my respect: you are running many businesses. It's not a dull moment, as I see your videos... You work & play hard, but when do you rest 😢 !! It is sunday 🎉

[@Marialyse]

Thru the years you and your dad have put together a great reliable working crew. Otherwise you would have to be in all places at the same time. Makes for companies to run smother.

[@TheRealMrDiGG]

exactly, couldnt do it without the awesome folks we have!

[@donanything6816]

But cam 🤣😌😛 Amazing how the rain can contribute to fires. Learn new stuff all the time here on the dig net. Gad you passed and flattered a lady with your camera!!

[@TheRealMrDiGG]

hope she doesnt kill me for that footage!

[@coaterdave]

Great "behind the scene" process of testing sand. Congratulations on passing the test! Goes to show there is always more to it than meets the eye. Ramp is looking good!

[@TheRealMrDiGG]

appreciate you watching!

[@Richard-C]

great video Ryan, congratulations on passing your test, hope you have a great week 👍👍👍👍👍

[@TheRealMrDiGG]

Thanks Buddy, you too!

[@user-JamesLacy]

Way back in the day whene I first started driving'1984, the man I worked for had a little wash plant by a creek. He crushed creek rock for the state so we would wash out 1" clean and sand for a concrete plant. We never tested any thing back then but like you said you are mining it. The best part of the video was the Butt Cam.😁 Bad Jim Bad Jim.

[@bonnieboy53]

I find it pretty interesting to see that your process of measuring the sand, Is basically 100% the same as how we do it in Europe (Netherlands). I always thought that there would be some kind of difference in the work processes. But no. While I worked at the sand mine, the process to measure the quality of our sand was basically 100% the same as what you are doing. We had to dry the sand by cooking it on a hot plate, put it in the sieve stack and shake it for 15 minutes. After 15 minutes, we'd measure the sand per sieve. And with every product we'd produce, it would be a solid morning job (4 to 5 hours) to measure all the different products to ensure the quality of the product remains the same. We'd then compare the values to the days before and if we'd notice any difference that was too big, we would have to go in and change up the recipe ever so slightly and test it again to ensure a quality product. And we also did the same thing with our gravel. To ensure that the product leaving the plant always was of the exact same quality as the days, weeks, months before. Shows you how the process is really the same.

[@TheRealMrDiGG]

thats really cool that y'all do it the same way. thanks for sharing!

[@kenactofkindness4017]

use cut off paint brush plus flat washer in hand sieves 149.0012 inch sieve, up to 200 for finer ones

[@emanueldieppa1438]

Almost done with the video love it thanks a lot. Was looking all morning for a video of yours to watch that I haven’t seen yet.

[@TheRealMrDiGG]

Appreciate the watch!

[@rhondasweeney7271]

Little bit of this and a little bit of that. Busy, busy 😊

[@paulprigge1209]

Thank you as always.

[@williamatkinson4324]

what about putting a pre-magnet to catch big chunks of metal before it goes through on the b66.

[@KevinHarvey-qw5mj]

Thanks for posting this one brought back memories of testing sand for Dot for there use in concrete and asphalt up here we had some material did a pressure test on did you have to boil that up here we had to. Might be cause we have bad winters they also had to check for coal up here also but like my dad and myself running more than one business depends on employees we had good ones like you that could run plants and other business like we do you have a great operation cause you treat your people right your whole crew just like. Family members makes it a little easier on you knowing they got your back and smart enough to shut down if something doesn't feel right respect given respect back to you you a good person mr Digg i would work for you in a heartbeat cause of how you treat people when we ran are sand plant would make concrete sand and masonry sand at same time just set sand screw dial split for grade of sand for masonry would have so much of that would sell for fill sand and your grinding pile does create heat as breaking down for compost you make a lot of mulch do they use it just down there are they ship it out to other states just curious this is Sunday the 24 of November you open seven days a week now to help get it cleaned up after hurricane just asking you covered good topics and brought back memories to me thanks again be waiting for next video your just a awesome man and more you post a good friend mr digg 9:23

[@TheRealMrDiGG]

really appreciate you taking the time to comment! thats really interesting!

[@KevinHarvey-qw5mj]

@TheRealMrDiGG I never thought in my life that someone would post about business I have been in since ten years old and sand and gravel company plus a landfill awesome that brings back memories and glad it's posted by someone like you a good person and friend that why I always watch you and learn sometimes cause times have changed from the 60/70 and you explain everything so we understand it got a great channel here thanks for getting back to me Mr Digg your friend up north

[@tsnia57]

I worked at Union Carbide Niagara Falls New York we made submerged Arc flux and no it's not welding underwater only certain size smaller size would go into the bag final product we didn't force through the screens it's not a true reading so we had primary screens big Derek screens and duster screens put the final product in 100 lb bags about 140,000 lb shift then we started putting it in 50 lb bags because Japan didn't want 100 lb bags so the people's had to move twice as fast

[@TheRealMrDiGG]

Sounds interesting! I've never heard of that process before.

[@drewzavasky2562]

your my new favorite channel bud... keep the content comin please... you have a very interesting little show you run there...

[@TheRealMrDiGG]

Appreciate that!

[@derrickpettit86]

Awesome video bud, better to be safe than sry with the pallet, man if those caught fire, the flame an heat would be so intense, anything with in 50 to 60 feet maybe further would be toast, u got some great employees that thank an do the right thing for sure Ryan, great video an thanks for sharing an I look forward to seeing the next video 🇺🇲👍🤙✊💪

[@TheRealMrDiGG]

appreciate ya Derrick!

[@dermot107]

The pressure is on for sure MrD😢

[@TheRealMrDiGG]

good folks helping make it a whole lot easier!

[@jackhart-l5o]

Sure glad you passed that test…if I was a guessing man I’d say you had a little pucker factor on your way to testing. You have got one ace in the hole with A-Aron…you get a dozen of him, you could conquer the world!!!

[@TheRealMrDiGG]

I'm glad too...... I was nervous

[@tucobenedicto109]

Don't know about the mulching business. I know they wanted to be fast because it's hot. I'm cool with that, lol. I see alot of fines in that. I was thinking a shaker hope feeder before the 866 with a magnet belt. Or a non sived trommel with a magnet belt at the end. This way the material is clean entering the 866. I realize aluminum is non ferus, but if rather have that go through then steel! Also good for nails. Or how about a metal detector in front of the teeth like they do on a John Deere silage chopper. If it sees it, the computer automatically reverses the belt and flashes a construction light to indicate metal contamination.

[@homey3051]

Seems like you should blow them screens out with air when you're done running a sample because them lower screens were still pretty plugged

[@TheRealMrDiGG]

as long as you do the test the same way everytime it all evens out

[@beaverc2884]

I've heard of Butt dialing but Butt video that's new to me. 😆😅😁😄😆

[@rs2024-s4u]

How many tons does your sand company ship/sell each month? Do you have a rail siding/loading for sand and or the mulch/compost? Ray Stormont

[@johnshepard6682]

Do you guys need to be certified to run all the heavy equipment?

[@austint7533]

That new Hyundai forklift is sweet!

[@TheRealMrDiGG]

looks waaay better than that old one we had!

[@tsnia57]

Engines don't like propane make some run clean no lubrication on the Pistons

[@johnnylindsey5808]

Good job guys

[@TheRealMrDiGG]

[@Jack.333]

Happy Thanksgiving

[@TheRealMrDiGG]

Happy Thanksgiving to you too!

[@larrygreen1915]

[@TheRealMrDiGG]

[@Jamescarlock-ht9he]

Love your videos

[@TheRealMrDiGG]

really appreciate this!

[@tsnia57]

Maybe if you have an extra someone stand there and watch that thing spread it out on the Belt

[@FixinCat]

I only run one. I don’t know how you do it dude !

[@TheRealMrDiGG]

only way its possible is with all the great help we have working with us!

[@kenactofkindness4017]

lab supervisor/ inspector 5 different states, plus sac base/corp of engineers, ssd, 200 wash sieve, hydrometers all the good stuff lol , breaker sieves, cumlitive or seperate, formula on the pappaer lol , use company out of colorado 8000.00 programs easy peeezee

[@TheRealMrDiGG]

people dont realize what goes into it do they?

[@geesss8675]

What the hell you you do without A-Aron

[@TheRealMrDiGG]

we've got a great crew at all the businesses, souldnt do it without them!

[@CumminsCat]

What’s the story on the older Cat excavator sitting at the entrance of the current landfill? It’s been there through a few of your older videos also.

[@Dontworryboutit315]

They fired it up and moved it a couple months ago, can’t remember the video tho

[@23431]

@Mr. DiGG it sucks being backed up like that but yes it is better than having a possible big fire

[@TheRealMrDiGG]

100% agree

[@lenny5355]

Don't be confused make them change it up I mean you are the BOSS LOL.

[@Bigaliy-x7g]

Whare is the gold in the sand😊😊

[@MichaSkolimowski-be2nh]

Ten obszar zostaje zalesiany czy zostaje tak jak widać.

[@tsnia57]

saying he wants to do it faster while sorting through them damn pallets isn't faster

[@EddyVerbraeken-xy2ps]

way don't you place a small container on the shredder to catch the metal ? it's easier to clean up also

[@TheRealMrDiGG]

need to

[@kenactofkindness4017]

class 5 mn dot, less than 5 percent -200

[@Dparsons116]

Ryan why don't you guys use grapple rakes on your equipment? Your guys literally waste 3/4 of the bucket capacity, and you run the risk of the tooth coming off and destroying the rotor .. iv seen it happen before, but it's not a good outcome and not cheap to fix. Have a great day looking to see more from you

[@TheRealMrDiGG]

we definitely should invest in those

[@Dparsons116]

@TheRealMrDiGG glad I could help im here anytime you need advice brother 😆 🤣 😂

[@Eddie-f6t]

Aaron is smarter than the average Bear

[@TheRealMrDiGG]

i'm gonna delete this before he sees it, lol

[@ramtuff2007]

good video

[@TheRealMrDiGG]

Glad you enjoyed

[@dankenney7827]

Can't you get AAron some more tables so he doesn't have to work off the floor! Marco has got to be walking his legs off running around like he does ... hope he gets paid a good wage.

[@tsnia57]

Dude watch out one of them yahoos don't tip over on you

[@TheRealMrDiGG]

good point

[@Hdaledevore]

🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@TheRealMrDiGG]

:)

[@morrisbatdorf5694]

I would Never run pallets through a grinder! If the pile is hot dig it up with a excavator to cool the pile down!! One thing Never push wet dirt/wood into a pile of wood products cause it will catch fire. Just saying

[@TheRealMrDiGG]

the pile is HUGE though

[@morrisbatdorf5694]

@TheRealMrDiGG I would dig the pile apart before putting it though a grinder cause its pallets! I don't know your procedure but if it caught fire, its cause someone pushed dirt and mud into the pile. I would use your wet mulch that you been driving on as compost or soil products

[@morrisbatdorf5694]

You don't have to dig the pile apart. Just find the source and open it up. I bet there is mud and mulch pushed up in it?
