Dump truck operations

Drop the bags

 

Absolutely dump em.

 

Dump them
Only exception I can think of is grain
You don’t have to get up very far and it comes out smooth and even and typically on a level concrete pad

 

So what’s everyone loosing their minds over?

 

Almost always dump the bags. I can think of one occasion where there would have been a clearance issue with a paver if I had dumped the bags but that was unusual. Whats the controversy about?

 

Let em see that sway once, that policy will go away as fast as Thanksgiving dinner. Dump your air, if they fire you for being safe, you don’t want to be there anyway. You roll a truck, they will cheerfully crucify you then.

 

I own a Ford L7000 single axle dump truck I hauled about 300 loads in to reconstruct my river bank but that’s the limit of my dump truck experience. So call me stupid but I assume from the posts that dumping bags is the norm but how would that result in premature bag failure? I assume when the bed empties the air bags would extend to the limit as the weight comes off. So how does the office staff think dumping the bags causes premature failure? Did they explain their thought process on this?

 

I have an F900. I wish it was a Louisville cab.
