  • is it me or is he not very smooth with it?

  • neither, it's just the guy holding the camera... and the video quality;)

  • While I respect everyone's opinions, I think it is unfair to assume the operator doesn't know what he's doing. First off, most of what falls to the side of the truck was just fines, though it's hard to tell from the video quality. As for speed, its a 385 load 40-ton trucks, they need to be loaded FULL as fast as possible to be profitable. He cleaned up after every other truck. Like I said I respect everyone opinion, but a bad operator wouldn't be told to run a 385

  • he loads a 30 tonne truck in under a minuite, i'd say thats about right with such a large machine, clean area, not a bad operator either, too many folks talk a good job, what machine do you drive?

  • jimmyclarke, you're half right... it's a 40 ton truck, and thats shot limestone that he's loading.  I've watched this guy load trucks on several times, very consistent and very good

see all

  • It is hard to load these small trucks with a 385 from the side, and the bucket is too wide to load effectively from the rear, I think the operator is doing a good jog given the circumstances. In production I always get upset when the operator tries to get a perfect load every time with no spillage thus sacrificing cycle time.

  • @lmvaillancourt its not hotdogging its called hauling ass dumping the bucket with the use of the stick bye throwing the dirt out of the bucket while dumping. Makes for as muck as 10 second faster load times.

  • @JimBruce42 I fully agree with Vantage. And the little material hitting the side and falling off is well worth the investment of the much faster dump and cycle time. Good job hoe hand.

  • at least he's not having the trucks back up to him like every other fag on youtube.

  • looks small lol

  • @vantagetes I have to agree. It was shot rock he was sitting on, and as long as he is swinging less than 90 degrees, it's still pretty much text book for bench loading over the side.

  • @uberstinky09 It's American Infrastructure in the states.

  • @TheHairybaz Hey genius, if the bank is sluffing away like that you have to swing far enough to reach the trucks...they can only get so close!

  • no job plan again. how many times do plantys have to be told. dont slew more than 1 oclock or 11 oclock

  • that almost looks like kidco doing that
