TOUGH ACCESS landed a $5,000 Landscaping in a day #2

What happens here

The dump trailer is maneuvered into position on a slight incline next to the house foundation. The dump bed is then activated, lifting and releasing a large pile of dirt and rocks onto the ground. One worker uses a shovel to clear any remaining material stuck inside the trailer. The narrator points out that the trailer's low height can cause it to scrape the ground when dumping on an incline, and mentions the three main types of dump trailer hoists: telescopic, scissor lift, and dual ram.

Goal: Unload dirt and begin rough spreading

let's dive into today's project i would have forgot again one thing i do remember i forget the safety chain but after watching alex almost getting caught between the truck and the dump trailer that day [Music] so when we're breaking down a project like this we look at the material cost now this load of filter only cost 60 to buy but it also took an hour and a half to pick up and we needed a pickup truck and a dump trailer to do it so the delivery cost of your materials needs to go into the calculation of your projects because it's the little things that add up fast and not just on a job-by-job basis but at the end of the year when guys are finding that they just don't have any money left in their bank accounts it's the overhead and the little expenses that add up that nickels and dimes most guys to death [Applause] so that's the reason why tim backed up we knew it wouldn't come out go ahead gonna do what it's gonna do tim what go ahead you got about half of it out yeah you're dragging it's just it is what it is you gotta this bat this shirt track dumped so low in the back let me show these guys look at look at what happens besides the fact that we need to do tires holy cow look at that that that box is on the ground scraping the back you see that joey that's one thing i don't like man these sure tracks are so low they back just hit and drag
