    Some......some......some DUDE lost a load of dirt in the travel lane this morning.

    I'm glad we weren't in the travel lane, cause we'd of nailed it.

    Decent sized rip rap in it and the whole nine yards.

    Belly dump opened up some how.

    I ain’t got a clue. I just thank it and move on. I figured it’s got to be a good thing.

    Saw it happen before, in Colorado Springs when I worked for Martin-Marietta. Belly dump opened up and dropped a load of 12 - 24” boulders all over I25.

    We had a driver dump a load of pit run on RR tracks— you could look in his left ear and see out the passenger side window

    Supposedly this one wasn’t on the driver. I can’t say for certain what they declared the cause to be or if our lead and the driver were right like that to where they’d cover for each other. I’m not the one who inspected/diagnosed the trailer… I had a big project going on with a motor grader at the time.
