C'mon guys, it's only resting, it'll get up by it'self when it wakes up
How does someone do this?
They back up a little too close to the edge where they are dumping, and it gives away. Happens more often than you would think but nearly always with inexperienced driversQuote:

Then they may have layers of clay or gravel or other strata's they don't want before getting to the pay layer. Coal is one of the easier things to distinguish it is just stripped away and loaded, but minerals will have to be separated as best as can be done on site before the richer ores are sent off for processing.
All of this requires a place to pile up what is left over and when dealing with several thousand tons per day or even per hour packing it down as the mounds get ever higher can never be as well compacted as it was before being dug up. Trucks and dozers are the things that can wind up rolling downhill like a snowball headed for hell.
More or less what I hand in mind as well.
If it was a CAT it would have landed upright...
