I don't believe I've ever seen a side dump that didn't have a round bottom. Not to say they aren't out there. But it seems to me, the round bottom would make getting all the product out a whole lot easier.
I've never been hooked to a side dumper.

(not saying this driver was) Just a casual observation about drunksAtticusRoad and x1Heavy Thank this. -
Ive seen vehicles reduced to small piles in which it is impossible for a human to live. They would just be bleeding out or crushed. But if that human is drunk then... a couple patches and off they go essentially unhurt. over and over and over again.
Keep in mind ive said what I will say about the rollover, im focused on emphasizing that the drunks ive seen survive the worst with very little damage all of my life. One drunk in particular took the life of a friend of mine and he will be missed. The drunk who killed him was unaware of the seriousness of what he has done to someone who absolutely does not deserve such a death at 16. Even today I want to kill him figurateively speaking as the years go by having lived as long as I did here on earth and that friend never did.Big Don Thanks this. -
I saw one drunk that was standing with a compound tib/fib fracture. Bleeding like an S O B, but he didn't know it. He was worried about the minor laceration (relatively speaking) of his arm.
I HATE DRUNKS!Bean Jr. and lovesthedrive Thank this. -
IMO it seems like it was a medical issue b/c he 1st drifted off the right side of the hwy & like a pro driver would he eased it back onto the pavement, not jerking the wheel to the left (overcorrecting) as most do. Then he suddenly veered to the left, I'm sure if he had time he could've eased the truck back onto the pavement again.
At his funeral they will probably say "he died doing what he loved". I hope he did love what he was doing and wasnt forced to drive b/c of monetary reasons.
RIP fellow old school trucker I'm sure you have many many miles of accident free driving, throw away your funny book & relax in the arms of our Lord. -
maybe he didnt take his 30 min break, i hear it can be very unsafe if you dont lol

Big Don Thanks this.

I've seen severed limbs, and even one severed head from folks being thrown out, or partially out of the window, then having the vehicle roll onto them. Not to mention the fatals that I've seen pinned under rolled vehicles.
But since I don't have to deal with that crap anymore, I honestly don't care if you wear a seat belt or not. UNLESS you are either in my vehicle, or you are unable to control your vehicle and hit mine.
I see folks on here every once in a while that claim they never have nor never will wear a seatbelt. Whatever...smh -
Big Don and lovesthedrive Thank this.

Not just some 4-wheeler either, always some joker with a horse trailer.
