Always keep your load facing the top of the slope. Don’t know if they made you watch a film when you did your tickets but I always remember on our course they showed one where a 360 was towing another 360 down into a quarry and big machine behind pushed the other one into some sort of disaster.....it was all different disaster type scenarios. Lol The dumper one was a bloke changing the wheel and a massive spring shot out and went through his pick up truck ! Lol Its was all stuff like “try not to bury anyone in a hole” and shit like that !
