Semi smashes raised, fully loaded end dump trailer right into a bridge
Every time you see one of these raised dump bed disaster stories, you can’t help but wonder “How did the driver not know?” That goes doubly in this instance, captured in the video below, which occurred earlier this month along Highway 40 near Montreal. According to Le Journal de Montreal, drivers traveling alongside a semi […]

Dump truck dumps load to evade police in chase that ends off-road
This next dash cam video looks like it’s straight out of the Dukes of Hazzard. If only the late Waylon Jennings could have done a voice-over… It all started with a domestic disturbance call last Wednesday in Beaver Dam, Wisconsin. When a Dodge County Sheriff’s Office deputy showed up to help, Theodore Tamminga wanted none […]

Dump truck bed lifts while driving, destroys overhead highway sign
Today’s dose of dumb comes from a highway somewhere in Saudi Arabia. The immediate question the video below raises is how is the driver unaware of that lifted bed? If it’s long enough to completely decimate a 20-foot-high highway sign, that thing is creating some significant noise and wind resistance while in motion. Sure there […]

Caterpillar built a moving golf course atop dump trucks and loaders to create the true Greatest Game Ever Played
As if golf wasn’t frustrating enough, the evil minds at Caterpillar thought it would be fun if the holes moved. But how does one create a moving golf course?

Loader uprights dump truck, gravity quickly ruins everything
As we’ve seen before, rural roads in tropical climates are very unforgiving when it comes to flopping a piece of heavy equipment back onto its wheels. This loader is able to quickly upright a flipped Mack truck, but once the tires hit the pavement, gravity takes over in full effect. Hope they brought a machete. […]

In the video below, the operator, whom the Daily Mail identifies as Juha-Pekka Peramaki, puts together a dump truck made of LEGOs, complete with hard-hat-wearing driver.

Very stuck dump truck proves to be a challenging rescue for this excavator
We have conflicting thoughts about this video. On one hand, we couldn’t help but root for the operator of the excavator. After all, according to the video’s description, he’s the one who got this Volvo A30 stuck in the first place and apparently no one on site was willing to give him a hand getting […]

Distracted dump truck driver finds ditch a far more costly stopping tool than brakes
It’s simple: distracted driving sucks. It doesn’t matter if it’s a phone call, a text message or email, or even a map, taking your eyes off the road is just a terrible idea. That goes doubly whenever you’re driving a dump truck with a full load. This video, taken in the Canadian city of Sant Lazare, […]
