If he's an owner operator he had a real bad day. If not, him and his boss are both having one

His dad owns the company. Insurance will pay for repairs to the truck. The biggest loss is the revenue the truck wont be producing for awhile. Longer trailers like the one dumping are lots easier to back up with a big tractor.

Run I dont know but it was short
Bigbrownie when your not level dont raise it. Rule number one with an end dump. If the ground is real rough I will get level dump it and let it down. Pull up till I am level again and dump the rest. End dumps dont spread real good even on a smooth surface. You can string it out some by raising it till it starts to come out. Put the truck in gramma, leave the pto engaged and idle forward letting the trailer come up. Needs to be smooth and level. Rock only. dirt gets dumped in a pile no matter what.

I was always told there are 2 types of end dump drivers. Those that have tipped one over while unloading and those that will tip one over while unloading someday.
It's your story, tell it how you want me to believe it

I didn’t know that side dumps work that way. Learn something new every day.
