  • hey is there any way you could send me info on getting into operating? im very interested just dont know where to start. would love a job like this. please and thanks. awesome vids!

  • @bigrasta69 check out your nearest trade school they will have info on the course your looking for 

  • Ive heard of a trucker than couldn't place his truck correctly, a day an operator placed him at the right place with the 345...

  • open the window easier to see without a cracked window!

  • I used to run a cat 330 with 4 YD bucket, I sure do miss operating!

  • How do yu keep from over loading the truck on weight for the DOT?

  • @AReptileMan that truck is way overloaded and its never a good idea to load off the side of the tracks

  • @McLovin120 ok internet operator

  • i could do that all day! lol

  • @canadacatalyst i was thinking the same..sure beats my warehouse job..lol

  • I was told that an excavator can do virtually all the jobs that a dozer, backhoe, and track loader can do is that true. Do alot of companies use their excavator as the main piece of equipment.

  • @Smarderthenu Im an operator and a driver and the only thing i can think of is operators expect drivers to follow rediculous hand signals and read their mind all at the same time. However as an operator I can honestly tell you some drivers are brutal cant follow simple instruction, but as a driver operators seem to think theyre the cats meow of the construction site so everyone who isnt an operator including foreman is stupid.

  • hehe yea, they are like dogs for us ;)

  • Smoth operating skills!!!!

  • well said moe allot easier annyway they say im one of the best in Quebec on a shovel an friendly is proffit

  • well said moe

  • I have done both ends of it and I will say this no matter how much the operator or the driver get pissed you both need each other. If you are dumping for someone else the driver can't read your mind to where you want it dumped. How is a driver supposed to feel when the loader hits the truck, underloads or overloads. It is all about experience there are stupid people doing both jobs. In both situations I learned. Treat the other nicely and things will go well.

  • @letsdig18 i love your vids but have to say i'm a little offended by your comment. without truck drivers you wouldn't have much of a business. do you drive truck too? operating machines alone doesn't get the clay moved. i'm sure there's plenty drivers that think you operators are "stupid and piss them off". not me because i have no idea what doing your job is like but i'm sure there are some. anyway, keep the vids coming!

  • @Smarderthenu

    There's no other way to treat them some times. I try SO HARD to keep my cool with truck drivers, but sometimes......

  • @Smarderthenu lmfao..my dad is a dozer operator and when i see him he's always bitchin about how dumb some of those truck drivers can be. I have heard my dad say on the CB go over and dump by the other piles right in front the driver a 1/2 hour later the truck driver is up over the hill and stuck when he shouldn't have been there in the first place..i ran hoe for 2 years and some of them are just plain stupid..1 beep means stop but they just keep on going..i have seen truckers back into the hoe!

  • @Knox48x do you or your dad drive truck?

  • @fordct123 He drove truck for 20 years..now he's a dozer operator and no i don't drive truck..i operate different heavy equipment..depends on what the boss wants me in or done

  • @Knox48x cool. twenty years is a long time. but you'd think he'd be a little more empathetic toward the drivers now that he's an operator, since he knows so well what it's like to do their job, ya know?....

  • @Smarderthenu Because they never put truck under bucket 

  • @BRIGGS6951

    LOL...... Ok, I get it! I guess!

  • @BRIGGS6951

    Hahahaha.... I (personally) do not treat the drivers like shit, but sometimes they do frustrate the hell out of me.

  • how did you get that crack on the window?

  • I just did this for 6 hours today, with a 5' clean out bucket, and found out I can keep up with our Case 871 loader ( 2.75yrd bucket).  Also blastin the same tune at one point.

  • kool vid man !

  • @Hughzie13 Why do people do stupid stuff like that.

  • Volvo's are really comfortable, mine has a heated seat!

  • Looks like the Volvo is treating you nicely.

    No rattling, or excessive sway in that arm.

    Offcourse, I reckon that you also treat it well, so it's to be expected. :)

    Anyways, thanks for sharing.

I have only run Cat, John Deere, Komatsu, Hitachi, Daewoo/Doosan, Case/Drott, JCB,Link-Belt and one of my favorites, Kobelco. Well any ways i love your videos, as an oerator myself i enjoy seeing other operators in action. I am a young guy too.

  • truck was not full..hole in the front, could of put about 3 more buckets in it looks like.

  • ma si può sapere a te cosa cazzo te ne frega?..minchia è pieno di esperti in giro...

  • Comment removed

  • He didnt wanna put too much wait in front makes the load too heavy for the truck and that terrain doesnt look too hard like pavement so on the way out it'll be hard truck might skid.

  • what happened to the windsheild, it's craked!

  • Some asshole through a rock at it.

  • sorry dude, that sucks!!!!

  • kids gettin on to the site no doubt

  • @letsdig18 lol, u shoulda picked that asshole up with the bucket n dump him in the dumptruck. by the way,wut does it take to become a dumptruck driver?

  • @weiserbud67 no education and a beer belly

  • @poskyflyer u obviously need education to drive a dumptruck!! u can`t just jump into a dumptruck and start driving down the road!! it`s not like that!! it takes education to be able to drive a dumptruck!!!

  • @weiserbud67 my grandparents own a large company in canada explain what education you need if drove one when i was 12

  • Great video keep them comin.

  • good video, but it looks like he would be over weight on the rear axles?? Or were you just loading him to take it to a different part of your job.

  • Yeah we were just hauling on site so weight was not a problem.

  • handy wee number there! big handy pile 2 work out of! no scraping up and neater stuff 2 be doing! ;)

  • The volvo Excavators have a nice little storage compartment behind the seat at the top of the cab. All I have to do is wedge the little door open and the camera sits up there just fine.

  • Great video as usual!!!

  • awesome video five stars!!!!! keep up the good work and thanks for shareing.
