WORK TRUCK WHOOPS: Raise the roof

Oct 25, 2013

Talk about a round peg and a square hole.

This dumper driver is attempting to make the equivalent of a half-court shot in basketball by attempting to dump this load of sand under a short roof thought what looks to be no bigger than a garage door.

All seems to be going well until he runs out of room. When he inches forward to get a little more clearance, he gets way more clearance than he expected.

Hope he brought some shovels.
