Yeah, you should hear what us "bonehead" dump operators call the idiots running the hoes...
I've been running a Terex TA27, Generation 7 for the last few weeks. Our hoe operator is 74 years old, and sometimes doesn't give any thought into how he wants us positioned to load, and how or what we must drive/back over. I've about lost my last nerve when he has me back beside the area where he as been cutting, only a 4ft drop, but enough to roll the truck. Wouldn't be so bad if there was more than 3ft between my tires and the edge. This because he doesn't want the dust to blow at him, while we get a cab full.
I've ran hoes too, and since I've ran ADTs, I try to make sure I don't put the drivers in any risky positions.

It does not have to be end dumps to have not very smart operators. In the mid 60's we were running 660 belly dumps filling from conveyor system building a tailings dam for a copper mine in So Az it was a 3 shift operation. The midnight shift had all kinds of strange things happen one night a 660 tractor pulled under the conveyor to load and couldn't stop. He had lost his trailer and had no air for the brakes then tried to turn off the haul and ran over 5 out houses.

This problem is not encountered with cat 735's & 740's although they are almost the same design, but dumping sytems frame is far rigid and firm compare to these, i have lot of pictures of this kind..bye

You think that's scary, try it with 400 ton trucks when they are coming right for you. I've gone over the edge to escape.
