    YIKES, i did that one day with a load of 2b limestone in an old R model tri-axle steel body dump, it all slid against the air gate, then it wouldn't unlatch, but the truck didn't flop on its side thank God.

    Yep, When I was still running local I work with a guy that loaded 2B limestone up in Slippery Rock, PA and when he got to his stop, lifted the bed and nothing came out. Here he forgot to put this liquid down we used. Can't remember what it's called but his load froze in the bed, I mean like rock solid, it was like 10 degrees all that week.

    I think it took like 3 to 4 days to thaw out Lets just say it was a long week for him with all the jokes he heared.

    I drove for Dale Mcclymonds out of Portersville for about 4 years, some good points some bad but kept you moving that's for sure. Made pretty good money while with him but I ran pretty hard.
