Share Pics of People Hauling or Towing Something Wrong

Got to give credit to the operator that was able to place that rock so accurately.

Yeah, especially with everybody yelling at him. Go back! Lower the bucket, you're too far above the bedrail! No, raise the bucket then tilt it down, raise and tilt! Wait, go back! Hurry up, what's wrong with you?!

Doesn't look fake to me at all. Just looks like some operator who has to do what the customer wants, despite knowing that it is a bad idea. Looks like the guy doing most of the yelling was the truck owner, and he doesn't seem like the type that would listen to the people telling him it is a bad idea.

The lime will blow off on to the side of the road,,
for the next few years,, the state will be mowing, and mowing, and mowing,, and wondering why the grass grows so good in that section of road!!

I remember driving a section of freeway with the usual grass for mile and miles. Then I came into a patch of sunflowers for about a half mile or so. There were none in the fields along either side of the roadway, so obviously not crops or wild that spread.

Should this guy have strapped the lime into the truck? It was only 12.5 tons of lime,,

Route 6 reopens after dump truck crashes, hangs off bridge

Right up the road from me, and upriver on the same body of water we live on. I wonder if they will figure out what happened.

The driver left the PTO on. The beds creep up if you do that. The hydraulics have only lift. They lower with gravity. So a running pump will often push past the valve and raise the bed.

My dump truck still has a 2 way valve and I suspect most others do. If you only had a lift and neutral the bed would be stuck up because there’s no way to let the fluid out. And the PTOs make terrible noise if you attempt driving.

What l mean is there is no pressure on down. The ones I drove did not make much noise when driving with them on. A guy I worked with hit a walk bridge that way. The truck was empty and it flipped over backwards untill the hood hit the bridge. It was a glass enclosed bridge. Note I sad was. There were people on it. Luckily none were hurt.

That's what I was thinking, also. Perhaps he could swap his strapping expertise for driving lessons.
