    I hope you followed the truck drivers code and stayed non consistent with your haul times, Arrived in a different order with the other trucks each time and mysteriously vanished for an hour around lunch.

    I hate dump trucks and there drivers. Every encounter I have with one the are driving reckless, and all kinds of thing are flying everywhere out the back. Y’all cracked my windshield 4 times! And not to mention I seen a dump truck with a full load tip over and land on a car absolutely obliterated it and it’s driver. I can’t want till computerized trucks are super advance tech take your jobs because I think I can trust them more. It’s nice to see you operating your truck safely though. I truly believe you guys and all trucks/drivers need more regulation and more training.
