Kind of a dumb question but how stable are those trailers? Looks like the weight is down low but I don't know. Just curious. Thanks for a well made video.
They are pretty stable. As you pointed out there is some weight in the lower "belly" part of the trailer that helps to keep the center of gravity down low. Do to the different products we haul, the trailers are not always filled to the top. We sometimes hit our target weights with only half of the spacial volume in the trailer being used. Some products we haul are much lighter and will fill the volume of the trailer but be a much lower gross weight.
We have some dumps that lift both the tractor and the trailer and other dumps that just lift the trailer. The driver is not in the cab of the tractor, but instead in a control room operating the dump. Both types of dumps are very safe and work as intended. The only real difference is speed and efficiency through the dumping process.
We currently only operate in Oregon, Washington, and Idaho. Wages will vary based on what state and location you are working from. We have more details on our website at www.walshtruckingco.com as well as contact information.

Driver from the EU, how come you live the whole rig and not just the trailer? Seems like it would be safer

I recognize that the load was loaded in Camas, where was it unloaded? I don't recognize it.
The unloading part was shot on a different day in Tacoma
