what's going on drivers is Jay rich back
again it's Friday time to go the hell
home but I'm gonna knock this little
video out for you real quick I've gotten
a few few of you've asked me to show the
process of how I dump my trailer now my
process might be different from your
process depending on what you holiday
you're doing rocks and gravel stuff like
that you're you're gonna be a little
different than the way I do things at
least the way I see most of you do
things so I'm gonna try to go start to
finish show you my whole process and the
way you should properly dump one of
these trailers so stay with me we're
coming right back show you how it's done
all right for the sake of this video
we're gonna say that this is where the
scrap goes we're out here on the yard
ain't got much else going on so I
figured I bust this out while I ain't
nobody here and I got plenty of room to
do this first off you want to make sure
that your trailer is level the grounds
as flat as can be
you're not parked in a hole to where
when you start the moving that trailer
is way up here in the air that it's not
going up set this trailer and turn the
damn thing over next thing your tractor
in your trailer are as straight as
possible and you track that can be
turned out a little bit this way a
little bit the other way but you cannot
be jackknife you cannot dump a frameless
trailer jackknifed it does not work like
I said it can be turned on way or the
other and when that truck is going up
your tractor is coming to you you've got
the wheels turn to where that tractor is
coming back straight with the trailer
that's how you want to do it if somebody
parks you in a hole or in some messed-up
area and this trailer is leaning we can
see this trailer straight it's not
leaning
this damn frozen leaning way over here
way over there it's gonna be worse when
it gets up in there it's gonna be
leaning way over you turn the damn thing
over then you've got to make that phone
call explain why you turn that man's
trailer over if they won't park you in a
hole you tell them man I can't dump
right here you can try to back up a
little bit you try to pull forward a
little bit and move over left or right
do not dump that trailer if you don't
feel safe with it that's the number one
deal this mud flap this mud flap has to
move to the center okay and I'm going to
show you why I do the safety chain
safety pin and you got to keep this pin
if you have a style like this because
this pin will jump out so put it in your
pocket I always put it right here for
safekeeping
and that lever goes retract now when you
open up your door if there's anything
against this door do not come back here
and stand behind the door and open this
son of a [ __ ] up some [ __ ] will fall
and crack your damn skull okay I always
come back here and push it out push that
door open
now I didn't flip that mudflat like I
was supposed to as i'ma show you
see where this mudflap is in relation to
your tire when you dump this end right
here is going to be right close to the
ground this mud flap is going to go
underneath this tire so it's gonna tell
your whole [ __ ] off right there
so before I open up the door pull this
pin out turn this mud flap a little
tough one-handed guys but hey I'm
working for you
so you with the door closed that's how
you mudflat looks I've even been sitting
waiting in line dump truck comes up hey
man you're missing month what I know I'm
not it's just flipped over the other way
so that's how it goes you ever see will
see a truck with a mud flap looking like
that he's about to dump out or he
already dumped out and he forgot to flip
it back over which does happen so we're
opening up a door back open hooks in
there so your door don't fall you don't
hook at damn chain when you dump this
damn thing this door it's coming down
and it's gonna hit the ground and when
it hits the ground you liable to take
this mud flap off bend this and tweak
the whole damn door all right now you
see where our mud flaps at it's up here
so this mud flaps still gonna be on the
ground but it's gonna be up higher and
out of the way
so we're on spot now let's see I back
into a spot and I can't swing my door
all the way open what I can do I'll back
into the spot open the door and let it
sit there then I'll pull the truck
forward and then change the door around
the side because if something falls out
the back I want it to fall back here I
don't want it to fall way up there where
I had to back back over or I have to sit
there and stand underneath this load and
move stuff out of the way it's going up
here to the truck and I'll show you
what's going on up here
Oh modeling back here let me show you
this trailer has spring suspension this
trailer does not have airbags all four
of these wheels are gonna stay on the
ground when you dump it there is no
airbags on this trailer to dump like
some of your other guys have now why
would you dump the airbags you dump the
airbags so the trailer settles down on
the frame and it makes the trailer more
stable this trailer doesn't have that
alright guys we're back in the truck now
since we're trailer does not have
airbags my tractor does so I can dump
the suspension on the tractor that'll
set the frame down on the axles so that
the truck itself is more stable this
part right here I feel fine with it the
way it is
I've got my trailer brakes applied my
tractor brakes off
so this is going to pull the truck back
to the trailer why do I want to do that
versus some of the other guys that have
that pull the trailer to the tractor
because most of the places I dump out
are very unstable there's holes there's
there's whatever so I want the trailer
to stay stable to stay still until I'm
ready to move it and the scrap
necessarily doesn't come out like sand
rock and gravel Doug's just saying so
with the airbags dump your trailer blade
brakes applied and come down here this
makes the trailer go up or down right
now it's in the neutral spot that's
forward but that's up and then back here
is down
this switch here is for my tarp tarp in
tarp out this turns pto all this little
yellow thing is there to keep you from
sliding it forward why are you driving
so clutching in push the yellow thing
down flip that on bike comes on your PTO
is engaged
push that forward you can look for the
gas
thousand rpms is good
trailer starts going up you don't have
to wind this thing up no good 1500 rpms
of 2,000 rpms
don't have to do all that
and you said from me right there when
I'm dumping spray up the cylinder just
hit the third stage usually I'm good
right there if not I can go up higher
all right that's all the way
okay now it's all the way up in the air
so now you need to walk away from the
load that's trying to come out what I do
is hard to kick this into neutral I'm
going to hold my hand on this while I'm
walking away from incase if something
starts to happen it starts to rock one
way or the other I could flip this and
start letting it down quickly so
don't clutch in but on the break
come over here down the low gear
put the trailer in okay one hand is
gonna be right here one hand is gonna be
on the steering wheel if I wasn't home
this damn camera and just start easing
forward it's easy forward
most of the time the load will push you
away that's why you keep one foot on the
brake so you don't take off you take off
and that trailer hits a dam hold you
liable to turn it over so now I've
walked away from the load of course I
would be going farther than what I have
right now I'm gonna I'm gonna lick them
I'm gonna start letting the trailer down
now you cannot hold your foot on the
brake and let the trailer down at the
same time you can't do it because you're
going to tear something up because your
trailer brakes are applying and your
trailer brakes are playing one of them
needs to be free so set my trailer brake
because when I start letting the brakes
out of when I let this thing down
I want the tractor to move away I don't
want the trailer to move back towards
the lube I just set the tractor brake
the trailer is gonna move back towards
the load I don't want it to move back
towards the load I want it to I want
walk away from the lobe so now I could
jump out go close my door what head
[Music]
[Music]
alright guys there it is that's how I'd
dump my trailer that's the safe proper
way for a scrap trailer now he's saying
the rock guys might be a little
different do what works for you but do
it safely
as always drivers keeping these in the
breeze and shiny side up will be seen
