That's a good way to be.
I'll tell why we're so adamant about the spacing. About twenty years ago we'd just bought three brand new Reliance end dumps. They went to work the very next day stockpiling road-base.
The drivers got into a competition to see who could get the most loads and started dumping alongside each other and taking off before the trailers were all the way down.
They were all three side by side when one of them went over and took the other two with it.
The trailers didn't even have the paint worn off the inside of the bed yet.
None of the drivers were hurt...except for a sore butt when the old man went up one side of them and down the other...and the trucks stayed on their feet but we were sure out of the end dump business for awhile.
The owner didn't buy any more end dumps for about five years. He said it took him that long to work up his nerve.
to all end dump haulers...

However I personally do not advocate pulling trailers for the same pay. I have felt this way since doubles and triples came out.
The other issue I have with them is some drivers (not all) feel that they need to park at the fuel island and block things up.
But since you @MACK E-6 are my hero I give you a pass.MACK E-6 Thanks this. -
