There are so many things to add through so many situations, but this video explains all the basics for them beginners

I'm thankful for guys like him who takes time out of his day to explain how to do his job and in as much detail as possible. Seems like a great guy. I'm thinking of getting into the dump trailer sect of trucking so this helps. I've done dump truck, walking floor and Tipper trailers as well as a little step deck, flat bed, curtainside and container while the majority of my career was Reefer and dry van. So even tho this is close to dump truck it's still completely different and to me much more complex and dangerous so yeah guys like him are a big help.

Great job! Something you said is very important don't let anybody rush u!

Also when you start to lift the bed, if the cylinder leans to one side it will let you know if you’re not level and give you the opportunity to lower the bed back and reposition before you get too high and flip

Your videos are very good. Thank you I enjoy them. The way you drive, explain what you’re doing, attention to detail, etc. you go the extra mile to explain what it takes to do it right like a professional. Reminds me of me. Lol. All kidding aside you are really doing a great service to the rookies out there. I have been driving for 25yrs. And hauled everything from oversized to coils, frameless dump etc. I was very fortunate to have been taught by grandpa,dad, at a very young age. The problem today I think is all the old school guys are dead or retired so the newer generation is really missing out. Unless they are fortunate enough to run across guys like you or me that are willing and able to pass it on and take pride and love what they do. Ain’t nothing like going down the highway in a Legacy Class Peterbilt with a 18speed and a hot rod KT Cummings roaring. They call me ( Topshelf) I’ll catch ya on the flip 10/4.

You did a great job explaining this!

This is what we call a real information. Cheers Bud

I watched your video yesterday because i was using a dump trailer for the first time today… Thanks to you and your tips, everything went well today!! Thx bud! 👌🏻🤘🏻

My son needs to watch this. He's too "smart" to listen to my warnings about these end-dumps laying over while dumping. The issue most prevalent for us is wind - but wet manure and compost can also freeze in large clumps, or to the trailer sides if left loaded overnight during sub-zero weather. In this part of TX there can be days and days of high winds that hamper dumping. My husband had 30+ yrs experience hauling everything from swinging meat, grain, live cattle to cucumbers, but he never, ever took that end-dump trailer for granted, especially unloading in farm fields where the surface terrain can be impossible to read.

Indeed, this was one of the "BEST" how to videos on dumping a frameless end dump setup I've seen on here! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾GREAT video Sir and keep being SAFE out there.🙏🙂👌🏾👍🏾💪🏾

Great Refresher For Me, Wes! Did Some Part- Time Work Hauling Spent Grain To Central NY Farms On A Frameless Dump About 15 Years Ago Out Of Budweiser, On The Weekends.. At The Same Time, I Also Worked Fulltime Regional With A 48 Ft Dry Van, Both Jobs Out Of B'ville. I'm Retired Since Last Sept, Living In Syracuse But Heading To Tennessee Soon Hoping To Get Some Part Time/Temporary Work To Supplement My Soc Sec. Thanks Again, Happy Trails...

Way to go Wes! sweet presentation on what many people take for granted, safety. Thanks for videoing and editing.

A video of getting loaded would be awesome

I grew up around dump trucks and dump trailers and drove them both for over 30 years and you did a great job with this one. The one thing that I do differently is put air back in the truck suspension so that keeps the truck from spinning like what happened to you when you pulled up and the other thing is with a frameless trailer I only used the hand brake because if you needed to move fast you can jam it in gear and release the brakes faster with the hand valve. Dumping a frameless in landfills for years and had many situations where it sank on one side and just being able to quickly pull up 5 feet made the difference between a good dump or a long bad day. You do a great job taking care of Idlewild's equipment Wes and it shows that you take pride in your work. A lot slobs would just run down the road and sling that material out of the wheels at other vehicles.

Always kept my eyes on trucks at the landfill after one tipped over next to me!

Thank you. I just bought a dump trailer to pull with my cord super duty, so this video wasn’t exactly what I was looking for but was very informative and I’m sure some stuff is transferable to a “little” trailer like mine. Thanks again.

Good job, driver. Very detailed explanation

Great video. I’m not a truck driver and didn’t know any of this. Great information. Just good to know. 😀

Excellent. Thanks for the tips

Love your vibe. Keep trucking 👍

Thank you for taking the time to make this video. You explained it very well.

Job well done Wes. Covered and explained everything. One thing that I would add is taking care of the equipment so that way everything goes accordingly. You and the company you work for, you do that very well taken care of your truck and trailer.

Thanks Wes. Very informative, great job!!

❤👍Thank you for sharing this great video. It’s awesome 👏

You are awesome. Forming a repetitive habit will always keep you and the truck safe. Trucking is a hard and dangerous job if you rush the safety steps.

Awesome videos Wes! You did a excellent job explaining the process. Keep them wheels rolling and be safe out there.

Great video, thanks for taking the time, and your knowledge.

Damn man... U r a good teacher for real !!!!👍👍👍👍👍

Sir I’m I appreciate you advice you are not only a profesional you are also a great person and where your knowledge with others thank you so much for being so good person ❤

Very informative Wes

Just starting with this type in a few days. Thanks for showing a thorough and safe demo. I feel a little better heading into this now.

Great explanations of dumping!

Thanks Wes, much appreciated. Saving this vid for future reference. Love your work

Very informative. I used a scissor-dump trailer for 2 years and it was a very different type of trailer to dump with. I had it actually bounce on me twice, going from tire to tire, back and forth and then finally settling down, very scary but never tipped it over. Wish I had someone like you to give me this kind of advice you just did. Thank you.

Great video. Good job explaining what to do.

Great job on the video, loved all the detail.

This is great info for safe work procedures. Thanks!

Thank-you...VERY HELPFUL.

Wes i think you did a good job explaining the process 👍 Keep on trucking

you are a good teacher bro big up

Hi Wes, I enjoy your videos very much, you do a great job, I used to drive myself for 25 years but got hurt and can't drive anymore and it takes me back, I miss driving a truck and it's nice to be sitting behind the wheel with you, keep up the great work and I'll keep on watching

Class videos Wes, wish I had snow like that in Northern Ireland!

Been watching some of your vids, really enjoy them! Keep up the good work!

Solid advice. Thanks for sharing.

Very good video learn a lot thanks

thankyou body, good video , and good explanation about this, congrast. 👍

Great information Wes keep it coming 👌

Blessing from mexico this definitely helps out here

New sub start hauling dump trailer this week !! Good detailed vid keep it coming

Thanks for teaching it is a very good tips

Awesome video thanks

Great Video Wes

Great video

Great video thank you!!!

Thanks for sharing! Stay safe!

Great video, thanks 🙏🏻

Well done

Well done man 👍🏻

Good job 👍

when i hauled coal in frameless trailer we used old motor oil and diesel mixed to coat the nose of oure trailers to keep from freezing

That was a good informative video. Always wondered how they worked.

Great explanation Wes. Thanks. New sub.

Thanks for the tip good video

Awesome channel man, great content

Nice video bro

Awesome video man thank you

Great thank you 🙏

Thank you for taking the time to detail this process. My 2 questions are: does anyone make a vibrating feature that would help loosen stuck materials? If your load is stuck is it ok to lower the dump half way and then reverse your truck and hit the brakes? Not going super fast or super far.

Good content Wes, safety first, but I've been dumping frameless for 30 years, prefer Western 1/4 frame now days so I can pave, one trick I do, if your box is going up crooked? I steer under till the scope becomes straight, works for me, never lost one yet!

Perfect

Thank you so very much

Most old school dump trailers I seen have them exhaust pipe for the under belly of the trailer. That be good for winter time keep the Material not able to stick to the bed of the dump body. Your tips and safety really helps for those that are starting out as dump truck drive for trailer or straight truck dump box. I would take it this apply for the straight dump trucks as well with the box being up in the air and airbags have to be dumped before doing anything. Wes jogging is a good work out every now and than as well need to stretch a little since you be sitting around.

Spring Suspensions are better than bags , and depending on load distance hauls use 28- ft for short heavy materials

Nice

Thanks 👍

When I dump with my frameless I always keep my tags down while dumping takes up more surface area I think the more axles on the ground the better

Yeah got a 35' MAC tri frame dump trailer and we have a black liner in the bed and it does really well. We haul topsoil and compost and shingles when going to landfill. Only thing i do is drop my bags and make sure im level. Great video brother. Another thing is my tarp cable i have to unhook before i dump, if not it will rip the cable out..

I like how he explains as much as he can think of. It's a fee things I wish he expounded on but as a trucker myself I can see how some things are skipped or not explained since it's so much he has to think of to explain. Especially when a guy just knows his job, it's hard to explain sometimes because ya don't talk about it ya just do it. I wanted h to explain more on what to do if the load comes out on one side but not the other side or if it comes out the back and not the front???

should be required viewing for all new end dump drivers

When I was running dump all over the country before I went back to hauling wood I used diesel to keep the load from sticking I also carried 4x4 and 2x4 to get the trailer level in real bad spots

I start doing this on Monday. This dude looks like Colin Ferral. lol.

#1 and the most important step after releasing the gate, DUMP your air bags. Do not raise that bed up with air bags inflated. You will be on your side in a heartbeat. Also the loaders usually tap the blade or bucket on the ground where they want the product.

I’m the same way when I’m runnng an RGN, I appreciate the help but I have a ritual and If I stray I forget something and it’s usually forgetting to unhook air and electrical lines

Gotta get it up if you wanna get it off! Lol Nice job. I would love to have a east one day.

Thanks

Great video! One thing I would add to this is, which I’m sure you do with out thinking, everytime you get out of that truck and walk around, check and look at all your lights, tires and listen for air leaks. A flat tire can change the way that bed goes up and shift it one way or the other. With the auto inflators it might not be so obvious, but it’s a good habit to get into. Thanks for the videos!

HEY MAN!!!! I just found this video and I live in chicago and I want a job like this but I cannot find a job I don’t even know if I have the correct term when I search for the job 😅 “dump end trailer jobs” look I hope there is some information or advice you can give me to land a job like yours and btw I just got my CDL

Hello great vid. thanks. How do you put the plastic of lime inside the trailer if needed. I was advised not to use the outside ladder to climb any trailer. Iam familiar with tankers but when loading the usally have a walk over harness. Thanks

Out of the 5 switches on the trailer what's the 5th one for in the middle for?

Question. How big of a hydraulic tank is recommended for these dump trailers? Or what is recommended capacity of having?

In the morning when I “leave a dump”, I’ll remember this

Love the videos! How do you edit the driving and the fast forward so quickly?

I’m starting a local job pulling a dump after 17 yrs OTR hauling flatbed.

Curios as to why you used the barn door instead of the “traditional “ dump gate. Thanks

👍👍

You are pretty good at explaining and holding a camera one handed. However from a training perspective you could really benefit from a camera person and a drone. Overlay graphics would be great too. Dating a video is a good idea as well. Thank you for the effort you put into this. You need to get sponsor's to make it profitable.

👍😉

Do some of these trailers have vibrators on them? I'd think that few short bursts could help product slough off? The railroad uses portable pneumatic vibrators for hopper bottom cars.

How long is your trailer? and how many extra airlines are there?

I just begun a job doing the same, end dump trailer with 5 pistons going up. Im having difficulty with construction workers about the unleveled scenarios in job sites muddy and clearly uneven terrain. How can i explain to them that i can't unload on uneven terrain, muddy and with other truck tracks crossing the way where i dump? They just don't want to understand how dangerous the situation is. They think I'm doing whatever i want.
