    They would probably escort you to the state line, and tell you to never come back.

    The draw bar save you unhooking the trailer

    That's the ticket. You dump the pup then you back up near enough to a jack knife to not bang the tongue with the truck's gate after but not far enough to rip a mud flap and dump the truck. There's usually a bit to wipe off the tongue after but it's pretty painless once you get the hang of it.

    I actually learned it doing the first few loads in a landfill for a few days hauling in the loads of shingles they wanted until I explained to them it wasn't exactly ideal with that style of tarp and you couldn't get the weight in them like you can our end dumps without heaping them way too high. You figure once you can do it on fluff you can do it anywhere right?

    I've hauled sand, limestone, soil, dolomite, recycled asphalt, scrap iron.....just about anything a dump truck can haul.

    It's definitely not the finest idea but having run both an end dump is WAY sketchier on soft ground in my opinion.

    You can get away with a framed end dump on soft ground, but not a frameless.
