How To Drive A Roll Off Truck Part 1 Loading

FYI!!! Never lower that dumpster to where that cable is seen through the back window! That my friend is an absolutely no! The cable could snap and come through the back window and take your head off!! Always leave dumpster up in air till full inside the locks for rails! Been doing rolloff for over 20years and training newbie’s!!!! My opinion!!!!

Recently started roll-off driver, I return to your videos often to get the basics drilled in my head. Almost everyone has their own way of doing things , which can be confusing to newbie. All was going good till I had a can slide off rails and get stuck in between rails ,because I didn’t slow down and follow basics , most stressed,scared I have been in my 58yrs, no one was hurt,no damage to truck or property but I will never let that happen to me again because I rushed .Hope that never happens to any driver ,new or old .I was in tight area without room to get to a safe area and free the box , needless to say I was very lucky . Thank you for you’re teaching videos, there are not many as thorough as yours

Man! Jordan! Your tutorial is SUPER!!! 👍🏻👍🏻

Thanks for giving us this information. I have driven 18 wheelers, but thinking of a local job.

I'm a roll off truck driver too

At least he is showing everyone his mistakes. Never lower your hoist all the way before dumpster makes it to end of rails. If you’re pointing downward you are gonna be in trouble someday when it slides forward and your cable comes off. Also most roll off trucks have locking pins. If it’s down the your locking pins are engaged and dumpster will not seat properly

Good work bro! I love the step-by-step breakdown. I especially like that you did a walk around. I drive a chain hoist roll-off but the fundamentals are very similar. Thanks for sharing. -LL

Fantastic Video! Thanks for walking us threw it step by step! Or should I say rolling us threw it

Appreciate these videos as I am interviewing for a manager of roll-off drivers.

I love driving roll-off. Going back to my old company soon. My nickname is quick because how fast I pick up a can lol. It definitely takes experience. Roll on!!!

After watching this video, and then searching other truck videos... I have the easiest driving job there is. I Work in a smaller population area. Just today....I had the back tires against 1 side of the road's curb, the box tight to the garage door and the Front tires against the curb on the other side of road, but it's still nothing compare to some these Trucks with log trailers, dump trailers, straight truck with pups, boom lifters. These really get into some tight spots

Sweet video. I have an interview with Waste Management tomorrow. Been driving a concrete truck for about 7 years and wanting a change.

Man thank you for making this series. I'm also in the Louisville area, and I have an interview with RedBox+ next week. I'm currently a Heavy Equipment Operator with a Class A, so I have experience hauling equipment but I've never run a Rollback or Roll off. Thanks again!

Thank you for these videos, I’ve been around roll offs for a while but have never ran one. Running one for the first time on my own tomorrow.

Thanks for the video, good stuff!

Ran across this video. Raising the rails until they hit the ground and raise the truck's back end slightly. You've very likely just left marks or gouges in your customers road surface. Raise your rails high enough to fit under the pickup rollers but not touch the ground. Your sat stationary and then pulled the box forward up onto the rails. What if the box rear rollers are sized or broken. Depending on the ground surface. You've just likely gouged or left roller ruts wherever you loaded this box. Leave your brakes releasesd, retractable the cable a little until your rails are under the rail rollers. Bring the rails down slightly ensuring weigh on the rails and they are driven onto the ground surface. Now while your brakes are released and truck is free to roll. Retrack your cable, pulling the truck under the 'stationary' box your loading. When you get far enough under the box you can bring the rails down lifting the rear of the box off the ground. Hold your foot on the brake and continue loading the box. This process of letting the truck roll under or out, instead of dragging the box with load. Puts far less strain on the truck hoisting components.

I appreciate this video. I start my new Roll-off job next week so this is helpful.

Excellent video. Thank you.

I do this too. It's amazing how many people order a box and then think U can just throw it off to the side or whatever. I guess they think we're bringing a little red wagon with a milk crate on it Nice job with that tub style, we only have a few of those. They are a total pain to line up if I don't have enough room to back straight into them. I'll line up the square boxes from 90* and only 40' in front of the box.....no problem, all day long

Nice job man love it
