Wow! That's about a 150% grade.

Considering that's a belly-dumper truck, I wonder who or how they got the rear swinging doors open before raising the truck? That must be an exciting job too.

If it isn't a bottom dump, that is the way the poultry companies dump grain around here.

I'm sure the lift operators have seen it a hundred times but they don't tell the green horns the first time they come in there with a load of grain at the grain bins, that the blocks that come up out of the ramp to block the trucks rear tires will rip the mud flaps off if the flaps are between them and the tires. They watch the green horn pull off to the side after he gets unloaded and puts the mud flaps back on, second trip, green horn knows to stop so the block goes between the tire and mud flap. But green horn gets out of the truck before the lift goes up, he ain't stupid!!!

Ocean Spray, out in Cape Cod, has been doing this for years, When you see a rig tie down, then the platform lifts rig and all, it is shocking to watch the first time

Its a chip truck(wood chips) the trailer s a rear swing door not a belly dumper just has a very low center of gravity. These boys flip over often round nor cal and they are loaded to the top! familiar site. Yes very exciting to watch unless you stuck behind one on the road.
