Down to the stops, good thing only 4 minutes away. I would have laid a tarp in the bed, over the sides, over the tailgate, but that is just me, cause it is gonna be a Bugger to get that all cleaned out.

ADDED: Way too much load, but yer ride, enjoy.

I had mentioned the dropped tailgate & a tarp protecting the paint.

Leaving a load like that on the springs & shocks over night, is not good for the truck.

That equipment operator was not very experienced
He could have attacked the soil pile at an angle & had one side of the bucket full & the other side close to empty.
He also could have centered the load when dumping, equal weight on both sides.

He would have done that if it was his own pickup truck

Shudda wudda cudda every ones a critic how many hours of seat time do you have in a loader. I have run loaders for 30 years. The only thing I would recommend is leave the tail gate up to keep the gravel in the box and a little less.

Like it never happened...zero scratches or suspension damage....I do not have 30 years experience in a loader, but I did stay in a Holiday Inn express 2 weeks ago, so there's that...appreciate the input boys, have a great Sunday! Its Miller time
