I was bummed when I learned I don’t get to ride in my cab for launch

They used to unload grain like this in my stepdad’s truck when I was a kid. Always wanted to ride up in it.

This would have been top tier if you had photo shopped it in his side view too

We used to have a dump floor with a couple of these. They replaced them recently with trucks that have a special hydraulic setup. I feel like the trucks seem safer but are more prone to accidents (forgetting to lower the trailer)

I can't imagine the stress his kingpin is under.

Gotta keep your cab clean brother

DimensionalAxolotl@reddit

I keep a clean cab, but i reckon the little cubby holes above the windshield would have a hell of a time not spilling everything out. I keep extra pens, notepads, and paper clips up there

JohnProof@reddit

Not after this you don't!

AffectionateEase1606@reddit

Yup, I used to do that when I ran wood chips make sure you close your fireball tight

[-]

lschipo21@reddit

Is there someone in that truck?

[-]

Engelbert-n-Ernie@reddit

How else would they steer it after launch?

[-]

MrD3a7h@reddit

Yes I am in there please send help

[-]

unftp-0@reddit

Nope. The truck has a mind of its own

[-]

PutridContribution41@reddit

Really ... ? Lmao. No, they kick you beforehand. Been to a couple of those places.

That's the way we unloaded potatoes at Frito Lay in Kirkwood N.Y. Potato receiving was a fun job.

I used to work in the paper industry, and this is how they'd unload wood chip trucks every day at the mills.

[-]

Absolutely currently working at one in the south

Grain elevators did that all the time until the creation of the hopper. Just remember to grab your coffee when you get out!!!

[-]

Spitfire954@reddit

A couple time as a kid, I hid in the sleeper of my dad’s truck for this part. Fun stuff.

[-]

Mental_Example_268@reddit

Part of me thinks those trucks have specially designed components so they can do that and those trucks are only meant to really do that But like there's no one in them and they're not operating during that so as long as the truck was designed properly it's probably not a problem speaking as an engineer

[-]

Spitfire954@reddit

Regular old trucks. This is how all grain was unloaded from trailers for a long time up until recently around me in the midwest. A bunch of old farm trucks and trailers with their own hydraulics that could break and leak fluid into the grain hopper would be a real problem. Now hopper-bottom trailers are the standard.

[-]

polarjunkie@reddit

You're almost right. The trucks are just regular trucks though, any truck can do that. There's nobody in it though.

[-]

SockeyeSTI@reddit

They used to do that with chip trucks when I was a kid. I could see one in the air from the house.

[-]

AndromedanPrince@reddit

they still do.

[-]

BouncingSphinx@reddit

But they used to, too.

[-]

Southerner_in_OH@reddit

Lol, I like this joke

[-]

GordTransport1958@reddit

Engine is off They been unloading like this for decades Grain, potatoes,citrus.. It saves the cost of having an "end dump" trailer And safer..

Dave Chappelle drives trucks?

Overall-Lynx917@reddit

It is perhaps fortunate that Evil Knevil never saw one of these.

Although, I can imagine Clakson putting Hammond in an explosively powered version 🤣

[-]

Apart-Ad1652@reddit

There has to be a better way than this. It’s 2026 ffs.

[-]

daemonescanem@reddit

When a place has 7 or 8 hours to get 800 to 1000 trucks thru the gate and get each one unloaded. Using gravity to feed the conveyor system is very economical.

My company's biggest plant has a bunch of these.
