I had to laugh. When you went to pick up your child, all I could think about, most women take the family van. But the beautiful Dauminique takes the dump truck. When I was a kid, I would have strutted as I walked to the huge dump truck. The next day, I would have been king. Keep trucking.

You are quite the multitasker young lady

When you put the plywood back on your tailgate, get a box of fender washers for the self tapping screws that you attach it with. They will spread the load of the screw head so they don't pull through like plain screws did. Ohhh, I just saw that Mark Clark made the same suggestion. 😉

I used old conveyor belt, I hauled 90% out of the quarries

I think if that were mine I would be looking into replacing the plywood with retired conveyor. Tough, doesn't rot when wet and gives a little better cushion.

It's ok, just part of life in trucking...repair it and work another day. It's a cycle of life. Have a nice day.

Wow Washington state looks really beautiful I’ve never been but want to.

That site you are working on is not even a mile from my house. I’ve seen different trucks in and out but I never saw your truck. Maybe another time.

I used to put over my garages a mother in law apartments. Never told the inspectors. I called them entertainment rooms!!! 😄☺️👍👍rooms had same footage as the garages with small kitchen area, bed area and nice living area. Nice bath area, Central heat and air. Yeah!

Dauminique, you are a very classy lady with tremendous courage and stellar values. I respect what you do and never make a disparaging comment about you or your profession. If you hear those comments, I would tell them to “piss off”, but I know you are too much of a lady to say that, so chuckle under your breath and move on ignoring them. You and family stay and I hope that your truck is back on the road soon, from the 82 year old retired pharmacist.❤

Please try to do videos on your daily outings like this more often.

When your son gets older, his friends are going to think you are the most badass mom in the world!

When you re-attach the plywood make sure you use some fender washers with the screw. The problem with just using screws is that they pull through too easily. Fender washers are 2" wide with a 1/4" hole in the center. Someone in the dealership probably threw that on, as it is not the way to attach something like that. Hope that helps!

Time for some fender washers on those screws😎

That a good truck I have one it going on 12 year now keep trucking

You are not dumb, just have your husband the mechanic fix it. Love you all!

Congratulations on your success!! Very impressive! Nice choice of music also. Mark

Looks like you'll be doing a truck wash video SOON. Lovely red clay sticks like glue. That would be a good KIDS project.

Maybe $10 in big flat washers, 1/2 hour labor, and back in business !

Watched first thing and that music will be with me all day!!!

Love hearing What shall we do with a drunken sailor. The version you play is awesome. Thank you.

Gotta Love The Road Into The Dump Site With The Mudd Makes For A Dirty Messy Looking Truck!! But That Unfortunately Is That Is Normal For Dump truck Operator To Power wash the Rig !! Enjoyed The Ride Along!! Keep Smiling On!! 😀👍👊

You certainly live/work in a very beautiful part of the world. Very much enjoy the narrative on what is going on in Washington and the permits and construction regs. with the different areas. I realize the drives on the two lanes around the area are an every day thing for you, but pretty visually stunning for someone from the flyover part of the upper Midwest. Thank you for the great vids!

Imagine my surprise to hear a traditional Newfoundland sea shanty entitled Drunken Sailor while watching a American dump truck driver go about her day 🤣🤣

..... I have no experience with dump boxes .... whomever installed that plywood forgot the washers to spread the load .. doubt that it was the asphalt chunks were the cause of the plywood to come off, maybe the final straw, would imagine that it was the natural moisture build-up around the screws that caused the plywood to deteriorate and let the screws pull through .. to go one step farther you cold use flat bar vertically to put the screws through .... good to hear that bureaucrats are reducing the red tape .... thx for the

Be careful. The dump truck at 7:05 just disappeared. You could be next.

That's a beautiful country there girl. I used to drive a truck Northern California so I know what that countries like driving through. But that plywood it will never stay up. You'll get moisture Beyond Otis going to rust out your tailgate. You're better off welding the piece of iron plate up there. And I've also driven dump trucks highest-rated old cabover Freightliner transfer box. I now live in Missouri. Drove end dumps dump trucks add mixers. Take care and be safe there girl. And I will subscribe to your Channel.🙏🏽👍🏽🤘🏾😊😎🙋🏽‍♂️.

I'm a commercial tire salesman and drive a lot of the same places you do. I watch to see if I recognize any of the roads. This video you drove past the QFC that we always go to in Maple Valley. I like cheered a little bit. FUN. P.S. you are a rock star.

Where you are a woman-owned business you should check out Federally funded paving projects. Large paving projects that are federally funded encourage hiring women-owned companies. You can make some good money, and hot top would be a lot gentler on that aluminum body. This one move in itself could very likely help you establish growing your company. How do I know? I once worked for 4 years for a female-owned company. A lot of roads will get paved under the latest infrastructure bill passing. Wishing you the best of luck, and hope this helps!

Great video. That's a easy fix. Take care and have a blessed day and I'll see you on your next video.

Dauminique......Nothing a little velcro won't fix. Seriously, you could clamp a 2x4 to the bottom of the gate and then rest the wood on that so you are not trying to hold up the wood and secure it at the same time. Take care.

It’s becoming a thing just about everywhere. People can’t afford their own home and also the cost of retirement facilities is crazy FYI love the background music in this one

Love this song. "Drunken Sailor"

Niqi, you live in a beautiful part of the country. The scenery in your videos is amazing. Thanks for sharing.

That's what the ply is there for to save damage to the truck body pull out the old screws pop it back on new screws job done easy fix

You might get some fender washers to put on the outside of the plywood to keep the screws from going through the plywood when it moves

Just another day in the Trucking industry Fix it and go out make some more money!

Just enjoy your videos for sure. I did it for 31 years just not dump trucks. but when I am watching your postings and watching your shifting and driving/ brings back my life behind the wheel. Thanks for your great videos and all the best of luck.

Get some construction adhesive from the home improvement center. Some call it PL 400. It goes into a calking gun. Put a small bead in all 4 corners & in the center. You will have to scrape the plywood off to replace it, but it’ll stay put.

Have someone who can weld aluminum weld on brackets shaped like an “L” so you can slide new ply wood in when needed and won’t have to worry about screws pulling through

There trying to do that mother in-law / rental to help with the housing issues across the country . That’s dump site is muddy from all the rain .

When you said this is the vault is that a septic system that goes to a main sewer...loved the drunken sailor bit...good video... wishing you well...

I'm glad you still have that $50 bill that used to hang from your tailgate 😉. I know new plywood is just a business expense but I'd get the fender washers that everyone is talking about & rehang the one you have.

Good to see you are staying busy 👍👍👍

Use some big washers to attach plywood should be good 👍

I work for Chelan County right now. Your story makes me want retire and get a truck too.

So go down to the hardware store , and pickup some flat fender washers Dauminique, they have a couple of or more diameter fender washers, that’s what they are called nice 👍 love you and your channel keep on trucking nice thanks BigAl California. Praise Jesus Christ grace amen.

A hand fill of fender washers and your good to go!

love the content, the violin with "What are you goin do with a drunkin sailor'' brought back some old memories

Hello Miss D. We call Mother-in-Law Granny Flats.

I am sure that your husband will take care of that plywood "fix" fairly quickly. I am so impressed the way that you handle your truck shifting the gears like it is "second nature". The granny suites in the backyard are getting to be more and more common. I am familiar with people building them in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. . . . that is 3 hours north of Calgary. 😊

Somebody mentioned conveyor belt. Good idea. I also wonder if you could through bolt it to the tailgate? Get a rivet head bolt from the inside.

Love the music

I’m thinking about getting a gas powered 14 yard Dunp truck maybe military 10 wheeler to haul my scrap iron 20.000 to 30.000 cap, if I can find one ☝️ or a dump bed in good shape to put on my military 10 wheel all wheel drive I have now , I don’t need a full time dump truck , just ever so often , and if I needed to haul so construction materials I can, lol. I might to say fender washers to put the plywood back on you should replace the plywood with conveyor belting , you are in the plants all around hauling the materials, and I would bet you could get links of it just saws all the screws off no problem at all you don’t need to care about just grind or saw them off hard plastic mud flaps would work good too , it’s all in the day of Dauminique the dump truck driver, thanks beautiful, good job BigAl California.

That's an easy fix. Still a pain though

Hello Dauminique glad you got it fixed

The plywood liner and new side boards for the T450 I drive was near 700 dollars. Plywood alone was 300 and change for 4 sheets. The 2x10s and the angle iron 250 dollars another 100 dollars in bolts. We haul a lot of rip rap and rocks that weigh up to 4 ton.

You might want to line your gate with heavy duty rubber to protect it

Great tune for the video, I am Executive Dir of our Trucker's Association mostly working with Government, I put the projects on our private phone system, our members call it each night for the projects next day. works good You do a great job!

I was scared something very bad happen to the truck, But i think u should put a new wood there or if u have washers so the old holes don't put out again

Love your music

Consider using a nylon panel instead of wood. I worked for contractor that lined all his truck boxes with 3/4" nylon panels!

Another great video back in England we used to board the inside sides of the tippers or translated dump trucks especially if they was aluminum Looking forward to the next video

Hello 👋, Love the videos. i’ve been doing land clearing and demo work for about two years now and with me being only 21 I’m learning a lot still every day it seems like even if it’s something small like the plywood you can count on something happening 😂

really enjoy your videos. thank you for sharing with us

Turn it 180 degrees and put it back on.

Thanks for posting Ms.Dauminique, the "Silver Bullet" is looking mighty mean & lean while getting loaded at the job site. Use high quality hardware for that repair & it will last a good long time.

As usual another great video. I think that you are very professional when it comes to your work ethics and how you treat your equipment. I love how you put your family first before tackling the tailgate problem. Be safe and take care. 🙏

At least you tried. 😉

Hi Dauminique, thanks for sharing .if you haven't already fender washer will let you recycle the board. I do love your choice in tunes. Stay safe and happy 🇨🇦 Craig

Hi I have not long been watching your videos and would like to say how much I enjoy them. Thank you from the UK.

A issue that needs your creative fix. Yes it's a pain but a solvable one.

Enjoy these videos, and the choice of music here.

Not tried it as no one in my part of the country does it, but spraying some sort of protective plastic on the tailgate works pretty well. For most part i only run fine materials, but my boxes are heavy grade steel ones so not a dent in them 😅

Curious, do you clutch ever shift or syncro shift, clutch only to start and stop? RoadRangers are so easy for that! Good idea from Dave Fuelling. I might add to use stainless steel fasteners and washers given your gate is aluminum. (Metallurgy comparability)

Great channel!! It's funny how tippers look in America compared to here in Australia.. so complex

Hi again , so you can get some new hex head screws like you have along with some fender washers , they are about two inches in diameter just be sure that the hex head screws don't go through the washers in the center :-) easy fix cause you can use the same holes that are in the plywood already :-) good luck , please let me know how that works out for you ..... Perry

They sell 4×6 3/4 inch thick stall mats at Tractor Supply Co for $50. Couple mats should do the job.

Always the nickel and dime stuff that slows us down. Except me this time… I have a NOX sensor going out. As always, enjoyed the video… good luck lil lady and looking forward to the next one.

I know you said Yuk when you saw those mud puddles at your drop site. Great music btw.

very nice music violin ... nice nice , I play violin . nice

Should b easy to fix but always remember could b worse keep up the good work

Just cut the old ones off with a grinder, and put it back up with some new self tappers, and a large flat washer on each one.

A handful of large fender washers will fix that 😊

Im not a truck driver. I do come from a long line of long haul drivers and bikers though. And i do work for a suspension manufacturer called Timbren. I do find your vlog interesting nonetheless. Thanx for posting. Good luck.

That is pretty cool going through water puddles playing this song awesome job

great video a small job to fix

That chip board probably was 1/2inch to start with and turned into 3/4 😂 it did work, tailgate looked like new under the chipboard. Neoprene is probably expensive crazy. I worked a gravel plant and where the rocks and gravel dropped into the plant had neoprene and over many years being there still looked new. Just a thought. Ohh almost forgot he had-’em on semi dumps and his dump trucks. Wood I’m sure is cheaper. Plywood not chipboard. I’m sure you realize that. Keep On Trucking and dumping.

Thanks!👍

When I was 22 I had a job as l master at a rock quarry. Trucks, (double bottoms), were being loaded for a nuclear power plant. Moisture content being important, boss let drivers pour water on loads.... before the scale.....bringing mud onto the scale. 1970s deck was wood cross w/perpendicular tire boards. 32 tks coming thru every 2 to 3 hours, I could not get out often enough to shovel mud away. Two miles from scale to hwy, and the state commercial cop sat out by gate weighing tks. Oh, yea. Two miles of pit rd. H2o drained out of tks. Load now lite. So state visited me! Boss, salesman, and myself worked in the office. Two out of three gone. Me 22 y/o, "in charge", shut downscale. No way to call boss in 1970, I got the ticket! Contract trucking Co. called their boss, sent trucks home. My boss showed up late afternoon for the news. The state came back, I had shoveled the scale, zeroed scale and my bossed sweet-talked to open scale, trucks were to wet load after weighing, whew, next day went back to loading blue granite for nuclear plant! Lessons learned. We had to constantly monitor the L.A. Rattler test also. Lab test for breakage after secondary crusher, stockpile, loaded truck, then at Jobsite.

Add washers to the screws, it will last a lot longer.

Just my thoughts! I hope everything keeps working out for you! But Dorthey should not have take her Ruby Red Slippers thru that mud. Oh wait that is Dump Trucking. Right!!!

Get yourself a bed liner I had one for my in my truck was the greatest thing I ever did stood up to concrete and everything a little expensive but mine lasted the boxes lifetime and plus I put it in another box

Just use washers with the bolts next time…

It's hard to believe they are building right now with prices of material so high.

What do you do with a drunken sailor?

Not a real big deal. Like everyone else has said get some metal fender washers that are heavy duty, and put them on with the bolts or screws that you use.

Hummm the background music wanted me to go drink some fine Irish ☘️ Whiskey 🥃

I love the music
