    Side dumps are preferred in northern states because even during freezing temp's its easier to get moist material out than through a belly dump after being OH to where ever the material is being taken to.. And you don't have as many people working on 1 crew up north and a driver can visually see where they are dumping vs having to have a spotter tell you when.

    As a heavy equipment operator most of my career, there's a reason why equipment is painted YELLOW . So you can see it ,especially if you're doing night work.

    Bozemaner here. They like side dumps around here for the reason that many haul up to the Yellowstone club/big sky where there’s not always room to move around when unloading, side dumps can just sit in one spot and unload then drive away. Limited space unloading on the mountain side.
