Mud Flaps - Newbie Semi Tipper Help!

Hi all. I've just started driving a semi tipper for first time. Other tippers pretty much Dump trucks on mine sites. I have knocked a mud flap off 3 times now- obviously I'm not doing something right- lol
There is also the fact that where I've been sent to tip only goats should go - lol

So my first question is: what's the best time saving procedure to avoid this? I'm not keen to pull forward a bit with the tub all the way up..
Q2: I thought about adding some flexibility to attaching them w couple links of chain or rubber. Any suggestions please?

Ps: I am a girl, please don't hold that against me! Lol
