I sorta can't find myself agreeing with a 1 & 2.
1* I sure can blame them for hiring an operator that can't operate the equipment.
2*Why hire a big dump truck to deliver several tons of something you only need 1000 to 3000 pounds of?
Why pay for 5 to 10 tons of something that you only need .5 to 1.5 tons of?
The solution is hire operators that know how to operate the equipment at the loading site.
I see pick ups all the time hauling full loads of sand gravel dirt slag etc so why not at least be able to unload the dang thing without having to shovel it all off.
Considering this point your argument makes no sense at all.

I bid on a f450 dump truck at an auction but did not get it, this was a 1970 model and I was just going to use it to drive to the local rock quarry nine miles from my house on a county road. I asked my insurance agent about liability and was told that for liability only it would be $1250.00 a year. That was their minimum liability payment on dump trucks. to give some perspective on how high that is for my area. My 2005 porsche with 350,000 500,000 350,000 liability and full coverage runs me $1200.00 a year. I can have a lot of loads deliverd for what the insurance would run me.
