I KNOW U HAD 2 DO ALOT OF WORK 2 MAKE THIS VIDEO,,,GREAT JOB!!!!!!!!!!!

I work at a Kenworth dealership and some of our customers have these T 300 with PX-8 315 hp with Allison trans, doing a test drive is a blast, they feel like a sports car compared to the T 800's. nice work with the camera, great shots!

Great video. Well done. And to all those people dissing the automatic, have you tried it yet. I tell you after sitting in city traffic all day my left leg is dead at the end of a day. Sometimes for driver comfort I wouldn't mind having an auto just to not have to use the clutch.

Great job the added effort and editing make for a much better video!

AMAZING VIDEO!! CAN YOU DO MORE TRUCKING VIDEOS?

Thanks!

Cool video! I'm driving tankers now, but ran a tri-axle for 4 years prior. I miss it and am actually putting in an app today at one of our local companies to try and get back into it again.

Great camera angles!!!!

Great video man

Cool video. Shifting gears can be fun but myself think automatics are the way to go. A guy I once worked for bought a new Topkick tandem dump with an automatic and I thought he was crazy. It didn't take long to change my mind after driving it.

Well done !

Thank I liked it powerful and informative and on top of that you enjoy what you do !

Good camera skills!! Good job!

@peebsb Yup the auto trans is great, we will never buy a manual again, all our Internationals are automatics as well. I bet all the people bashing the auto on here have never tried one because if they have they wouldn't be saying what they are. The auto trans now for big trucks shift better under full load than some cars I have driven. There is a huge paving company in my town, well over 100 tri-axles, they are all automatics.

Great video

Great video, thank you

Sweet truck

@1toomanyhobbies Thanks! It can get a little difficult but its not that bad. You just have to make really wide turns so sometimes you have to wait for traffic on the other side of the road to stop.

have to love the 93 traffic hit it both ways everyday

ive been learning to drive a dump truck one has an 8 speed and one has an automatic both 2016 peterbilts and I must say I feel like the automatic isway hard for me to control at times u gotta give it a lot of gas when your loaded and iono I prefer the stick the auto only kicks ass in the morning traffic

@camshaftP16 Thanks! Yea we love the truck!

Sick rig. You got to put on chrome and lights. Make is a working show truck

Thanks for the vid, great work

look at the shadow at 3:30. the camera is mounted on a skid steer which is on a trailer which is behind the truck :D

A good dump truck driver also has to be a great multi-tasker, that's for sure. Like when the boss calls you and asks..."where are you"?? "I'm almost there", I reply. "Well forget that. We need a load of 3 inch minus over at pit #2. So head on over there". "OK but what do I do with this load of drain rock on board now"? "Ahhhh, ask (the pit boss) George when you get over there. He'll find someplace for it. He's in the loader"... So when you see dump truck driver's talking either on their CB radio or their cell phone and they're proceeding straight down the highway SAFELY at speed and in traffic and doing a great SAFE job, there's a real "multi-tasking professional" behind that steering wheel who just happens to be a great SAFE gravel hack driver to go along with that. He (or she) has to be...

@JimHowDigsDirt Thanks! Yea I agree automatic is the way to go. Its definitely different, you need to get used to it and kind of learn how to drive again, so you don't smoke your breaks.

@willingtowork Thanks! And couldn't agree more!

Good job driver I like it

Nice driving style in cab , seat hight is correct to steering wheel . Not manny wipe of the rear after delivery.

At first I was like how did you get that angle behind the truck way up high then I realized you are probably towing a trailer with a machine on it!

@JonesDieselPerforman Thank you!

Cracking video, just remember one day you will be responsible for doing your own washing and i bet you stop wiping your dirty hands on your tee shirt then :)

montage man!!!!!!!!! hahaha 5* outa 5 man!

look at the shadow!

Do you find it hard maneuvering the tri axle and a trailer in neighborhoods? great shots btw!

trucking with an auto. is just driving

you can see when he gets on the highway the shadows next to the truck show a trailer with an excavator on the back. Good chance its his E50 from his other videos

with a long metal arm atached to the base of the truck ,and the recording camera on top .

it is mounted on the skid steer which os on a trailer look at the shaqdow peoples i figured that out without lookng at the shadow!

Going kind of fast on the on ramps weren't you? :)

Haha, good eye!

I sure love to shift, but having an auto and Its fuel milage on my dump truck wouldn't be bad either!

do you need a cdl to drive these kind of trucks ??

That tire doesn't steer so in order to save the life of it you lift it going around sharp turns.

Does the cab of your dump truck shake when it loading gravel

I had a steerable drop axle so I didnt have to lift on turns

@hammerdwn20 Thanks! Yea I like to save my tires so I lift it anyways :)

he is pulling a trailer behind him with a quick change box(at least that's what i do) some times

@nachos1990 Thanks!

What is the salary if it is employed and what is the income if it owns the truck? which city and state?

how do you get that cam so high ?

what song are you using?

The only thing i cant stand automatic transmissions in commercial vehicles.

Top Secret :)

Why did the tire lift off the ground at 2:56?

how did u get the shot from 3:25 to 3:42

where im from if a diesel bear was to see you pick up that axle. you wouldnt do it again.

he is probaly towing the mini excavater on the trailer.

thats not a steerable lift axle on that truck?

Top Secret

@vovoloader 10000 Thanks!

watch the shadows and youll see

i did it once , you just hang it to the front of the trailer . ain't top secret any more

i see

your kw got a cat or cummins and wut brox you go to the one in dracut ma

Look again at 3:32, its an excavator

well i took a wild guess,but thanks anyways

Jesus Christ. Your basically an office worker.

A CDL too??? What can't you operate

Auto or semi auto?

ok

Automatics work in places where you are flat land they are horrible where you need the control of speed on grades. Automatics you have to depend on your foundation brakes way too much. The only reason why companies buy automatics so they can hire less skilled drivers for less money. A good driver makes 25 to 28 dollars per hour a tandem axle dump truck makes 100 dollars per hour. A dump truck driver must beable to shift a 8-13-15-18 spd if you can't your not working simple as that.

-100 points for auto tranny, soft. Auto tranny = Auto fail.

Automatic?? That's not truck driving

LOL of course it's an automatic

Weeeee

ugh automatic, otherwise very nice

not manual???.....yawwwwn

you lads could go to work in a white suit and not get dirty lazy mans truck

Automatic? Come on! Make another video with a real truck

montage man!!!!!!!!! hahaha 5* outa 5 man!
