    I know it gets intimidating but also pay attention to how it’s loaded, also if it starts doing something funky In the air either put it down early or put it to the boards so you can get the load to break out of the nose and make sure you run the piston into the last stage (try to stop a smidge short so you don’t slam the piston) guys get scared and put them up 3/4 of the way which changes the center of gravity and will get them to roll as well, and any time you go into a landfill try and put a piece of plastic in the nose

    End dump is one of the easiest things to drive there is.
    And nothing wrong with a 2 lane road.
