Ezrider Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 here is one from this last spring. truck made a wrong turn and turned into a farmers approach rather than the road he was supposed to turn on 1/4 mile past the road ended in a feild. then he noticed the trucks hauling to the job on the road about a mile away so he decided to continue across the feild till he sunk it in the soft ground 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/34689-super-trucker-saturday/page/17/#findComment-275848 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have never driven a dump truck but it seems that for someone that does on a regular basis would also notice the unusual amount of light coming through the back window. I wonder if it's a distraction issue because, like those who will let a GPS unit do the thinking for them, these incidents seem to be happening more frequently.

xdudebrahx Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 All of our triaxles have the PTO on the dash with a bright red or or orange light staring into your face and a blinking orange light that comes on as soon as the body rails leave the frame rails.

57 bcr Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 Not only that xdudebrahx, the pto / pump would howl so bad when engaged, you couldn't wait to disengage it! Also, I would catch myself hitting the DOWN position on the pump lever quite frequently on the way back after dumping. Jutsta habit,I guess!

Brocky Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 Must be some of these "steering wheeel holders" have figured out how to disengage the PTO without hitting the down button!!!

Green Dash Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 The u-turn geniuses were probably scratching their heads when they looked out the driver's window and saw the trailer tires turning in reverse when they were driving forward. 1 Quote Jim Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/34689-super-trucker-saturday/page/17/#findComment-276370 Share on other sites More sharing options...
