  :yikes: :yikes:    Thats what I do for a living (water truck owner/operator). I do finish grade for housing tract streets. I don't like to see that stuff but it happens. I am glad to hear he is OK.  That could have been really ugly!

Looks like a landfill???  Spent the last 6-years working for the County of Riverside (CA) Waste Managment Dept.  This Thursday is my last day though.

I've seen a couple of articulated trucks and a couple of D9 dozers get flipped and a motor grader backed over a laborers Kia :o.  Operators were all OK, I don't have any pics though. :sad2:

the operator was backing out of the parking area, he backed up too far into the berm with the truck about half loaded with water. the berm gave way. he was very lucky the berm on the road below stopped him
