Perfect gravel distribution from truck - GIF

If you will note both lift axles are in the raised position so no the truck was not full either that or frost laws were not in effect at the time.
Note also that he had lowered the bed quite a bit after raising to shift the load prior to moving.
the last thing he would have wanted would have been to stat spreading then have to raise the bed while moving not possible unless he had left the PTO engaged anyway.
Yes those trucks can topple quite easily especially if the load hangs forward while the rear empties out. A 24 ft bed straight truck is no where near as prone to going turtle as a 38 ft trailer with draft arms and the front axle of the tandems comes off the ground Not as bad with Florida spec full frame trailers also used up north with multiple axles.
Newer drivers should never be lat out alone until they have had several months in the swamper's seat learning the ropes.

This technique has been used forever. And there are certainly chains holding the gate. As a young transfer dump driver, I was called upon many times to lay down base rock, gravel, and asphalt the same way. I was nowhere near as good as the driver shown.

I thought that was a requirement for any dump truck driver, I have even done it and I only occasionally drove a dump truck.

Delivery driver on a schedule Probably had already backed up to the dock not finding any dock workers. decided to take matters in his own hands leaving his lift gate open he unbinds the pallets gets back in his truck pulls forward then reverses hard stopping quickly enough for the kinetic energy in the pallets to unload themselves .
Union dock workers hate it because they cannot control and dictate the drivers time.

Unless things have changed, drivers are required to unload their trucks. Looks to me as if this guy has it figured out.

Frank,
I do not think that is it either. Pay close attention to the two men sitting at the far end of the dock that stands up then sits down.

I wonder how many times it took to get it right.

While I'm sure there's a driver out there who could do this, that clip is entirely CGI -- it's a bit of advertisement for Tail-Lift Truck Service from Wheels We Deliver in Ireland.

Not sure its CGI but possibly some other video trickery. You absolutely nailed the ad source though. Thanks!
