don't its not always like this. usually you have shit equipment, the faster you go the more trucks you get=not even enough time to piss or eat a sandwich. this guy is probably related to the owner or this is a t&m job or he gets the t&m because he is related to the owner. if this was a regular operator he wouldn't have one truck with a machine like that, and he wouldn't be running that machine if it took that long to load a truck. kids go to collage and play with hoes not earth moving kind!!!!!
by startin your dump at the back of the truck, when you stop your swing your bucket is empty.sure it might be a shorter swing with the cabs aligned, but a 72" clean-up bucket won't fix into a truck box and there will be spill to clean-up on the backside of the truck once and awhile. so how do you save time. but what ever works for you is good.
truck cab should be at your counter weight, so you can start dumping as soon as you go over his ass end. look like a 30 ton truck should only take 4 loads to fill.
You don't know what you are talking about. Why waste time swinging more than you have to. Set the truck up so that the cab of the truck is lined up with the cab of the excavator. These 450's come from the factory with a light ass end. So if you were to load the truck with the cab at the counterweight, the machine will tip.
you must be a new operator anyway you did a good job :)
