Glad it wasn't any longer. I would have sat there and watched for hours.

Video loop is an option. Do you want me to send instructions how to do that?

u/Strange-Mine6440 2d ago

Please dear God no! I have things to do today 😭

Video loop is a poor option.

I want to see the dumpy gey filled, go gey emptied, then fill again...

Machines are amazing. Think how long that would have taken with just shovels.

u/headhunterofhell2 2d ago

How many shovels?

Yummy stuff. The way the machine driver goes back for the spillage and the wagon driver goes forward to enable it really got me going. Like, REALLY going. Oosh. Yummy yum yums.

There needs to be a sub dedicated to these heavy machinery POV videos. There so cool!

Ok seriously that dump truck driver was spot on. I’m guessing they’ve done things together. Lots of things.

u/MissCandid 2d ago

It was making me nervous how close they kept getting!

2

u/marbleshoot 1d ago

Yeah, I was like this is not really satisfying when I'm stressing out about whether the truck will stop in time.

These guys would make a killing if they hooked up a cam and streamed on twitch.

This would be all fun for me to watch until I realize the lazy telecom contractors in Texas only use a flat spade to tuck your fiber 3 inches down in the ditch line. Now I have to wait a month to get telephone and internet back.

u/mfd78 2d ago

So, they just eyeball the grade?

u/DigitalUnlimited 2d ago

What, you wanna stand out there in the rain with the stick?

u/Volescu 2d ago

This must be a trench for child soldiers. I don't think full sized soldiers will fit in there.

Why not just leave the dirt next to the trench? Edit: damn why am I getting downvoted I was just wondering why

16

u/Mr_D0 2d ago

Because rain will turn the dirt to mud, and it will flow back into the trench, and obstruct the flow of water.

u/rfoleycobalt 2d ago

Because he’s not an Electrician.

Because they don’t want to?

u/Kevinator201 2d ago

Just seems like a lot of effort

2

u/Jay_Nicolas 2d ago

Reddit's crazy sometimes, dude. If I had to take a guess: if you worded it more like "can anyone explain why they can't just leave the dirt beside the trench?" - I bet you would GET votes

Probably stopped up some poor mole under that mole hill.

If I could do that just once, I would die a happy smiling man

u/AnarZak 2d ago

that's not a trench, it's a ditch!

u/David_Shotokan 2d ago

Awesome!!

u/ProfessionalSun5549 2d ago

Some of these guys are just surgical with those machines so amazing to see

1

u/zinic53000 2d ago

That's one bitch of a ditch

u/imheretocomment69 2d ago

The trench is already there, he is just cleaning it up.

u/SumguyJeremy 2d ago

Oh yeah! Daddy likes! Get that rain water out of the roads and where it belongs!

Ablauf in Deutschland:

  • Straße gesperrt
  • Auschreibung gemacht
  • billigstes Angebot genommen (siehe Ende)
  • billigste Baufirma genommen
  • Straße wieder freigegeben
  • Eine Woche später wieder gesperrt, um Restarbeiten zu machen
  • Nachverhandeln wegen den Restarbeiten (+30% Aufschlag)

Das ganze hätte dann ein Jahr gedauert...

u/LBants 1d ago

That would take my council 6 months to do.

u/charliesname 22h ago

I'm digging it!

u/magic-karma 2d ago

I was hoping to see him connect the trench to a larger something

1

u/Thedemonspawn56 2d ago

Why not make the bucket deeper

2

u/periodmoustache 2d ago

Seems to be working just fine

u/Zestyclose_Tower3297 2d ago

But....but....what about the Horned Leafeater Swamp Toads?! You can't dig there!
