Blew my stack...

@Pedigreed Bulldog

You got more guts than me dumping when the truck isn’t level with a frameless. Heck, I got nervous when a 22 foot frameless I was dumping starting leaning on packed gravel. Then again you got a lot more experience than me with it.

 

Anybody that doesn't dump straight up in the air. Has balls and guts.

The exhaust only has to extend beyond the body.

The 2 trucks i drove with weed burners. Ended just past the body.

 

The trailer went straight up. The gravel path they had built up to get us to the pit we were supposed to dump in was a little narrow with a bend just before the pit...and the edge was crumbling under my steer tire, so it LOOKS more dramatic than it was. You can see the mess made by the truck that had dumped right before me...he'd got stuck, had to be pulled out, then gave up & dumped his load of lime kiln dust short of the pit...and that stuff flows almost like water when it gets a little air mixed it. 45 minutes to clean up and 1/2 the load unrecoverable. I hit the pit with mine...always do.

Interesting side note, that pic was actually in a calendar, used by a Mack dealer on the east coast. Who says only "pretty" trucks get to be in calendars?

 

You learn fast to be level headed when dumping, could be why the driver was out taking the picture, setting up the you tube information bit for the day.

 

Pic was taken long before I had a smart phone, or even a phone that took halfway decent pics. Nope...that one was an old 5MP digital camera. Got out to make sure nothing stuck in the bed before I pulled away...slam the gate a few times...and thought it looked pretty cool like that, so grabbed the camera and snapped a pic or two. Pic really does make it look more dramatic than it was...just another day on the job.

 

That was on a T2000.

New owner has converted it to twin stacks up the back - looks pretty cool now.

Anybody converting a 379 to weed burners better have a REALLY good excuse.

 

The hot exhaust can damage the paint on the sleeper if left stack less for too long.

 

Run through the scales and see what happens
