Thank you Shea for the good advise! I was also taught to raise my drop axle before backing up to avoid damage to the tires when they drag. watch for over head obstacles such as power lines, porches and such, and of course closing and opening tarp. great video!

05:24 #4 Shutting off the PTO. How to prevent operators from accidentally raising the dump box while driving down the road? These mistakes cause so much trouble for power lines, traffic lights, gantry signs, bridges, tunnels, etc. While they make for lots of fun viewing of dump truck fails on youtube, the real life damages seem to be easily preventable.
You need to turn the pto on and the bed up knob or lever in order to dump. You can rig a switch that doesnt alow the pto to come on when the truck is moving, but some jobs you want to raise the bed while moving. You need to be pretty spaced out to drive around with the bed up on the street. I saw an end dump carring 3x10,000lb boulders dump them on the freeway whille driving and then hit a brige in Southern California, probably 16 or so years ago.
Don't forget to open the gate before lifting the body...watch out for overhead obstacles. ..make sure you drop the body before driving off...
Awesome tips boss I'm kind of a new driver when it comes to dump trucks ver useful ... Thks for taking the time to educate....
