I’ve recently acquired my Class A and started training in an end dump rig (frameless rock tub) and learning how not to become yet another green driver to roll their trailer as we’ve had several here do just that. I’ve been looking into changing companies due to poor management and rumors of impending sale/shutdown of my current employer and I’m weighing my options. </p><p><br /></p><p>In terms of safety, what separates an end dump from a side dump?
