Supposed to open the tailgate before you raise the body boss :) Txting or talking on a phone may have had something to do with it but he didnt admit to it. Few days later I was ramping a pile of dirt and got too close to the edge,Shut it down and had to get our backhoe to put some earth back under me.Had the loader tipped over the edge with me in it,you might not be seeing this. 155745155746155747155748155749155750

I was leased to a company that ran end dumps over 48 states and Canada, and one of the drivers was in a Wal-Mart parking lot and needed to move a few thousand pounds back to make up for fuel weight. So he lifted the trailer some to slide some of what he had on back and one side went and he turned the whole trailer over in a Wal-Mart parking lot.. lol

My one stupid move as a new to an end dump driver was backing up on a pile of dirt on one side to even out the trailer with one flat on that side.. I should have got the tire fixed and then dumped it. It didn't turn over so I got lucky..
