Looks like a great set up to me. I think that chopper put its full weight on that trucks landing pad. Looks like a bunch of professionals here that have done this more than once. Good job guys.

Yep they do land full weight on the truck. Zero down thrust.
This is our chopper performing a similar task

We refuel to the pilots request, refill the spray tank with the next load, Clean the windscreen or whatever else the pilot needs. All done hot. Shutting down a turbine takes time and money, constant communication between pilot and ground crew is the key. Some call it Hot and Dirty,

we just call it Efficiency done best.
