Safety rule number 9 in the employees handbook:

 

Good thing that's not my truck. Someone would be looking for a job real quick.

 

Could you shed some more light as to what happened here?? It looks like the load shifted.

 

I have no idea. I found this pic on another site and it had no info with it.
Your guess is as good as mine. Looks like there may be slight grade to that area and he may have been making a turn when his load shifted.

must have been one heck of a machine to load that rock in one piece...

 

I work on trucks like that alot, it looks like the LF wheel should be about 4-6 feet in the air, if the frame has not twisted to accommodate things(but they usually snap before twisting), that load is about to drag that thing over. have never seen the degree of angle between the edge of the box and parallel to the axel, knowing the box hinge area its probably ripped the mount loose off the box on the left side and all thats holding the box on are the lift cylinder and a bent hinge point on the right side.

Bring in a D11 push it over (and burry the rock out of the way) start fresh so nobody gets killed.

oh yah, and give the operator a clean pair of shorts

 

Ya like working on the small stuff don't ya???

 

I have seen a whole series of pictures of this on another site. I wish that I could remember which one. The load shifted and the front tire is about 6-7 feet off the ground. Some of the pictures show a ladder placed so the driver can get back into the cab. Also one picture showing a loader pushing the load back over so that the truck can continue on its way. From the captions there was no damage, other than the driver needing some clean drawers.

 

I thought somebody was complaining about the sprinkles and powder left all over the seats

 

Naaw, most of the something else was contained …… in the drivers pants.

 

The worst thing about dounuts in the truck is when you put them on the fold down center and forget then when you turn a corner they slide off and then the cussin starts. (not to mention the clean-up problems.

 

Here are a couple triple 7's with my truck in between for those of you that have never been close to a truck this size. These aren't even the big ones yet either. THe last one is the little machine that was loading the triple 7's. Three scoops and stuff was running off the sides. That's one of my brothers standing by the bucket and he's over six feet tall.

Wow your truck needs one of them bumper-stickers that says "When I grow up I wanna be one of these"
There is a pic floating around the web of an F350 or F450 crushed beneath one of the huge rock trucks. Was a red Ford I believe. I'll see if I can dig it up anywhere.

 

I used to drive those for about a year before I joined the service and when there was a few inches of snow, those things can be a lot of fun. Never with a load in it though ... in fact, we never put boulders of that size in there in the first place.

PISTOL

 

I asked if I could drive one the day I was watching them. The one guy said not with the boss here. Darn.
They were up in Pa between Bedford and Breezewood on old route 30 just at the top of hospital hill.
Those pics were taken on Sunday when no one was there and I went back Monday morning to watch them for a while. It was cool. Shot three whole discs full of pics.
