Broke My Dream Truck First Load! - 2024 International HX620 Dump Truck

My Grandpap always said " The only person that never made a mistake never did anything".

Bad things happen to everyone, it's how you handle it that defines your character

Had a new driver dumping a load of dirt forget to swing the locks away from the door and secure them in the hook, so when he dumped his load the locks swung back between the door and body and bent them all to hell when the door swung back in. He managed to get an excavator on site to bend the hooks back, but felt bad enough to tell me about it later that day. I looked at it and told him “if something breaks and you manage to fix it without me noticing it was broken, then it wasn’t broken to begin with”. He’s been valuable to my small company ever since.

It Happens, I learned from this video, I bet you'll never forget it

I was so proud to have bought a new Moritz dump trailer when they were just starting to become popular around me in 2000. First load to the landfill with it and I pulled forward, a door caught on a 1/2 buried mattress and ripped it clean off. 😮😢 Experience is what you get AFTER you need it. It happens to all of us. Looking forward to seeing the truck in action!

I can see myself probably doing the same thing, I did learn from this video something to look out for when using a brand new dump truck. I'll probably forget, and one day drive a brand new dump truck and do this same thing and remember back to this video in the moment lol. Thank you for sharing the video! Most people would not have posted a simple mistake like this.

You're not alone brother... I left that barn door pin in more than once!!! Lol

Literally smashed up the door latch on my new dump trailer before I ever used it, just moving it around at 11pm in the dark and rain. Then bent the tailgate by dragging it along the ground on a steep transition trying to spread gravel on its first job! Both things were easily fixed, welded up a new handle, and bent the tailgate back with the excavator. I guess you just have to BREAK things in right away sometimes.

So many things wrong here...Back to "Dump Truck 101" with you!! Lol

Totally my vibe. I would do that for sure. But after, I make a mental checklist so I never do it again.

Vermont outdoor services you are not the only who makes mistakes I Broke the truck I drive 2 weeks ago by doing something I shouldn't have done

Dude, slow down on the RPMs...you'll blow a hyro line.

Looks like you enjoyed greasing that pin a little to much

Beautiful truck! Where's the front part of the chrome grill?

Just curious what suspension does that truck have? I have a t880 with Hendrickson primaax and rarely ever dump the bags dumping with no issue

You could probably have the cruise set with a computer. I have a freightliner with vacuum pump. My pto is set to run at 1000 rpm on low setting and 1200 rpm on higher setting. with the cruise control My mechanic hooked up a computer and set it for me.

Just from my experience you don’t want to use the cruise control to dump its not Recommended. And once the bodies up you immediately want to put the lever in the neutral position don’t let it stay in the “up”position too long when it’s all the way up. But just my 2 cents

I notice it’s just a tandem, how much can you carry like that in Vermont?

😂 grease it!!!!

A nother awesome videos on your channel u definitely my favorite Youtuber how do u like your new truck how is the tow rig working
