Those are some neat vids you shot there. The "gravelanche" is really neat to watch. I've seen a few other videos on TH-cam showing those Canadian Transfer-Dumps. I think they're cool with those 4-axle trailers, but I can't figure out why the trucks box is so shallow and the tranfer's is so deep. Seems like a deeper box on the truck would allow more material to be carried.
Strangely enough, the starter button is legal, as the engine is still ignition-locked from starting. Just cranking. Fair amount of skill here to do steady safe box swaps reliably.

You’re pretty much grossing out the axles on the tractor unit with a load. The transfer allows you to pick up capacity to 15-16 yards in the trailer.
Pretty sure that switch is illegal. In the US at least.
