TRUCKING IS A DANGEROUS PROFESSION

[@tinacrewsorh3art]

Dauminuqe this is JD CREWS saying to you the body shop did a great job on fixing BD1 AKA SILVER BULLET glad to see it back on the road it looks better than ever I felt bad for you when Bobby crashed your truck into the tree.That had to been rough for you seeing your truck in that bad condition.😊❤

[@tinacrewsorh3art]

And also Silver Bullet sounds badass too love the sound of jake brake and deep sound of the when the turbo spools up and the deep tone to the exhaust when you get into the throttle that's my favorite sound. Your videos are so amazing and awesome and cool and badass.

[@timb4569]

Your Superpower is being a MOM. You can't turn that off, that is how you saved him.

[@bradfordthompson8326]

[@tinacrewsorh3art]

Dauminuqe the dody shop did a great job on fixing silver bullet it looks badass and sounds badass to.

[@JC-su3jw]

Being an old dump trucker myself i enjoy your vids. God bless you for warning that operator about a dangerous situation.

[@fsctrucking]

It's called Situational Awareness. You had it. He did not. Good job. Watch your 6 at all times.

[@jimmckenzie9324]

Hi Dauminique, so glad to see you back at work. You were that driver's angel.

[@DauminiqueTheDumpTruckDriver]

😊 thank you

[@Dat550go]

​@DauminiqueTheDumpTruckDriver hi pretty lady 👋. I subbed because i love the color of your nails. And no im not one of those. Im a "he/him" 😂

[@beaviswashere8009]

A small act can have big dividends!!! You acted on your intuition and made a Huge difference in someone's life! All in a passing moment!

[@Alleycatthegadite]

Every quarry I’ve ever been to. They don’t allow drivers to get out of the truck for just that reason, it’s very dangerous.

[@marklewis-hh2bc]

Nice to see you back on the road stay safe

[@DauminiqueTheDumpTruckDriver]

Thanks! You too!

[@justinmcclanahan6036]

​@@DauminiqueTheDumpTruckDriveryes please stay safe out there Dauminique 🙏

[@marklewis-hh2bc]

Thanks

[@jonrusso4720]

I'm a heavy duty recovery and thank you for doing that and saving me a hea y duty fatality call to that dirt yard too.....u are a gods savior too....

[@andrewdemoranville9657]

We put a tarp in the nose of the walking floor to help sweep out the load otherwise there would be several inches of material on the floor to shovel out.

[@lawrence7065]

We had this happen 30 years ago in a quarry in PA. This guy was fresh out of the military and new nothing about loading etiquette. Loader put 23 ton of 3/4 stone on top of him. Fortunately other drivers figured out that he was in the load and we’re able to dump him out the back. Basically unscathed but a little shuck up.

[@bradchandler6967]

That's part of what makes you a good driver---you're observant ! We have to be paying attention at all times. And kudos to you for most likely saving that guy's life girl ! And it's nice to see you back in your baby again ! Just a tidbit of useless trivia here which you likely already know, but if you hop on that rt.90 that you referred to and follow it until it ends, you'll be in Boston !! Keep on truckin' ! Stay safe.

[@williamsmith8068]

Welcome back Dominique in your beautiful dump truck. Oh, I miss watching your videos. I never get tired of the old videos. Hell yeah way to go girl.

[@robertlane3513]

Nice piece of work noticing the other driver not doing what he should be doing and putting himself in danger, and it was also nice of him to thank you for being on your toes and stopping the loader operator from dumping the Bucket on top of the other driver. excellent work on your behalf. xoxo

[@johndavis9159]

well done us old drivers looked after each other

[@jimkassel3691]

Now you can add guardian angel to your list!! Glad to see you are back, I was starting to think you forgot about us…😊

[@DauminiqueTheDumpTruckDriver]

haha I've been busy! I'm trying to get back to making content.

[@donrotenberry6571]

Glad you're back trucking. Hope family & Truck are doing OK. Great job on saving the young man from injury.

[@raymondbradley6788]

Excellent Dauminique🌺🌺🌺 I truly feel God put you in that place at the right time to save that drivers life. There are no coincidences in life. When working around heavy equipment heavy trucks you got to be on your toes at all times respect the equipment. All it takes is slip and things can go bad real quick.. You are a blessing.🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

[@jackkreighbaum783]

Many years ago, I was delivering sheetrock and forgot I had a bundle near the front that was shorter than the rest of the load. As I walked over the tarp I stepped into the void between the bundles and took a header off the truck. The Lord was with me and I rotated onto my butt instead of my head. I could have easily broken my neck or back. The consignee yelled out an eight, as it was the summer Olympics. I did have to take off a day or two after picking up a load of lumber (and tarping it). Another driver delivered it from the headquarters of the trucking company to Los Angeles. You rock, Lady.

[@jimgrussing2301]

Good to see you back trucking 😊😊😊

[@DauminiqueTheDumpTruckDriver]

Me too!!

[@bigal-ox9jw]

We all do dumb things at times, but I tend to steer clear of life endangering tasks in our jobs.

[@DauminiqueTheDumpTruckDriver]

It's true we do.

Never trust an operator you don't know......

[@robertsale3665]

💯💯💯

[@geekfengshui]

It's the little things that add up to save the day! Glad you were paying attention and figured out the problem to be so that it wasn't and could have been.

[@derrickbachtell1147]

I pull a live floor trailer, we either do not open our tarp until ready to be loaded. Or we set the clean out tarp in the nose of trailer, before we pull up to loading dock

[@Greg_Gatsby]

I’m guessing most people here don’t know what you’re talking about with a clean out tarp in a walking floor trailer. OneLonelyFarmer (KZbin) uses one on his New Jersey farm and has to set his clean out tarp to help empty his walking floor trailer of grain, fertilizer, lime, or large hay bales he routinely needs to haul. The clean out tarp helps to get the product out of the nose of the trailer without needing to sweep or shovel it out. Live floor trailers are the same as walking floor trailers. They’re designed to unload the product without being a dump trailer.

[@jimwilson7528]

Sooooooooo glad to see you up and running ,doing what you were meant to do!!!You were missed!

[@cattlerepairmancattlerepai9414]

Good on you for that save! I drive triaxles/combos on the side and one thing that was drilled into me was "do NOT pull up to the pile until you are READY to be loaded! Got something to fix - great. Stop on the side, fix it, THEN pull up to the loading pile". For good reason, I can tell.

[@DANsTrucking_Outdoors]

That was some divine intervention right there. Your comment on the floating bridges got me curious and according to Wikipedia, we have 4 of the 5 longest floating bridges right here in beautiful western Washington.

[@Jim-o1g2j]

You just earned a new title. Angel. Not all angels have wings, but you surely earned yours that day.

[@randyphillips5713]

You were definitely that guy’s angel and saved him. Right place at the right time. Enjoy your videos.

[@chevy-bull2041]

WOW! I experienced something similar with my son, who choked at the Christmas market and couldn't breathe. I saw it on video and just did it myself. The third time it came out and he could breathe again. It's really something special to know that you've saved a life. For the people in a hospital, fire department or police, it's pretty normal.

[@robertbuckner4062]

GOD put you there for that young man. Great Job Dauminique.

[@CelticArmory]

I drive a dump truck for a small family owned gravel pit in Stevens County. Often I have to load myself out, especially if I'm getting material from one of the other yards we operate out of. The guy who usually loads me out at our pit doesn't pour rock unless he has eyes on the driver. Absolutely, safety first. I used to live on the wet side and drove for Reddaway in Tacoma and the whole Olympic Peninsula. I'm so happy to be on this side of the state in the boonies.

[@troyconley727]

Nice to see you back on KZbin Dauminique. You are a hero. You saved his life and that’s an amazing thing to do. I love watching your videos and getting to see different parts of the Pacific Northwest. I’m a Florida born and raised. Never been to the west coast but I’ve always wanted travel out that way and see California, Oregon, and Washington states. God bless and be safe. Situational awareness is key when dealing with heavy equipment.

[@joshmiller8663]

Great job Daum he's a lucky man you were there. Devine intervention put you on that job for a reason.

[@donaldenaire1456]

I'm glad you're back on again

[@chrisfaulkner3840]

It’s good to see you behind the wheel driving your truck again

[@jaysartori9032]

It's so nice to see you again.

[@RobSharp-wo5qj]

I know that some companies won’t load a truck till they have contact with the driver to load

[@supersalty2182]

LOVE THIS DRIVER. ❤

[@Graveltrucking]

Oh, I can imagine the nightmares you were having Niqi 😂 I get the same vivid dreams of sh*t happening. It's just part of our intuitive trait we see/sense sh*t where people say how do you know that was going to happen. Were observers we notice stuff. You have to be aware of your surroundings. I worked in a small tight transfer station for 7 years. I was the equipment operator and bin truck driver. I had to be alert all the time. There were people dropping off their garbage or other stuff like scrap wood. You know the next time you visit that place, you'll be recalling that incident. There are sites/places I've hauled, too, that is bad juju. Usually , it's really stressful getting in and out of the site. When I have to revisit the site weeks or months later, my stomach starts churning. There are some real sh*t hole places we have to go into.

[@boydcrowder4436]

The dude in the trailer story makes it all worthwhile when you look back on that.

[@bradcoddington1679]

Every day you jump into the cab and turn the key could be your lasts in the trucking industry. It's a dangerous way to make a living that's for sure. Been trucking over 30years driving a semi and for the last year+ Been driving a quad axel dump truck and love it.

[@justinmcclanahan6036]

Hello Dauminique, glad to see that you're back driving your dump truck again,haven't seen a video of yours in a while, so I'm glad you made a new video & glad that you told that story about that guy & yes he should've waited until he was away from the ramp to do whatever he was doing & glad that you told the driver of the front end loader to stop before he dumped his bucket

[@gregelliott5066]

Glad you're back. GOD works in mysterious ways. And uses people to benefit others you may not know why.

[@RealityBombDrummer]

It is great to see you and your beautiful truck back on the road haulin Beyond Dirt to all the places materials are needed. Safe Truckin to you!

Glad you back working with your truck and trailer, it has been a while since I have seen you, I live in Bothell

[@DauminiqueTheDumpTruckDriver]

I've been out a bit truck and trailer. less the last few weeks.

[@scottycollins1829]

He was putting in sweep tarp,,,,, We also have X-tra large sweep tarps & hook them with rubber straps on the outside of trailer to keep this very thing from happening. That could've been a horrible situation in jst a matter of seconds

[@davidcerone6625]

You did good that day Dominic you were the angel and you got your penance to heaven one won’t forget as he did. He sent you a message thanking you God bless you all. Safe travels.

Wow, so good to see you back in your truck, it looks great!! So glad you are back, be safe girl….😎🔥🔥👍👀

[@Samanthareneeheart1]

Wow that IS a great view! Also with your story Im glad you did what you did with that driver. I'd almost call it a rookie mistake, but not sure how experienced the driver was.... You were at the right place at the right time to do the right thing. Congrats "Nikki " To me, you deserve a big safety award! At least everyone did what needed to be done & hold up. I'm sure the loader operator was grateful you saw what you did & held him up. I'm happy the driver did reach out to you to Tank you for your actions that day. 😊 Take care & see you on the next one ❤.

[@randyhopkins9114]

Dauminique, Randy aka Gramps here, I'm still new here, but I've watched a few of your videos so far, and I love your content, but if you don't mind me saying so, I've noticed that you're having a lot of difficulty with your cb mic 🎤 cord, with it getting in the way, basically because it's too long! Well a trick I learned years ago was that there should be a small screw up above you about middle ways of your headerboard! Well if you were to get you a small 10" or 12" in. bungie cord, loosen that screw, fit one end of that bungie cord around the srew, then tighten it back down, and then hook the other end around the clip button on the back of your cb mic 🎤, and let it hang down from the bungie cord, it will keep your cb cord up & out of the way, and keep the mic 🎤 always within easy reach! Anyhoo, I just thought I'd mention it! Anyway, this is Saturday, July 6, I hope you're having a good day, and a terrific weekend! So take care, and do stay safe!...🚛💖😁👍

[@donutman3089]

Have to agree with ya, we get to see some amazing places! Couple of times been routed down some abandoned piece of property only for it turn into a majestic overlook. Glad you was paying attention and looking out for your fellow driver. He should at least owe you a lunch. As always, glad to see you back in the saddle and rolling down the byways. Not sure which town that was, but it sure reminded me of Sioux Falls from when I was a kid. Lots of pretty country up in your area.

You probably saved his life! Good thing you were there Wow!

[@johngiambrone2994]

That was good the driver acknowledged you saved his butt. If he would have done that in any of the yards we haul from,they would’ve tossed him out for at least a week. You’re not allowed out of your truck and definitely not on top of your truck on company property. 40 years doing this and it’s crazy what people do. FYI, I do Maryland, DC and Northern Virginia. Google Maps is my go to. Garmin has fallen short and Waze is questionable.

[@clarkdouglas6517]

The suffixes and prefixes of streets/aves can be confusing. East of Lake Washington almost everything is NE or SE. A NW designator would be in north seattle or maybe SHoreline. To further confuse, there is an area in Kirkland where NE 116th Street crosses 116th Ave NE.

Communication is key. Around moving plant. And a plan of action. Working we each other. Good catch. You made the difference. He got to go home. 👍

[@alberthinds78]

I used to work for the Canaveral. I ran the spider. One day I was set up right beside the main gate for the rodeo grounds and people lined up on the left side of my ride right alone my fence. The towny (local hire for that spot) started the ride I was watching checking things as you do when your inside the fence. Just as the oscillator was started (the part that make the ride seam to walk) a kid about 3 years old walked right through my fence as it wasn’t even there at all. I jumped to the control box and hit the master kill button at the same time my partner pushed both levers forward to engage both brakes. The sweep missed that kid by only inches. I was noticeably shacking after that. I didn’t cry until that night in my tent. There is not one person that has experienced something like that or what you did that would not understand how it affects a person. It doesn’t mater your gender ether. It hits everyone.

Your story reminds me of something my dad did. He was a dragline operator and the was building a levee and every time he would swing around to dump the bucket the dozer operator was on the levee he kept telling him to back up when he swung around well he never did. My dad said if he’s there I’m dumping this 6 yds on the headache rack of that D6 sure enough he was there after we dug him out he never was in the way the rest of the night 😂

Glad to see you back Dauminique. A little message for everybody - The safety of yourself and others in the workplace, regardless of what trade or site you work on, starts with you. Unfortunately, even with safeguards, procedures, working towards mitigating any risk (employer and employee) and legislation being in place, incidents do happen but only by adhering to the rules can any injury or loss of life be prevented. Be safe out there, the world is a dangerous place if you let it be.
