I owned and operated a triaxle dump for two years just prior to the end of home construction. I saw 3/4 stone sitting on top of side boards of trucks exiting the quarry many times. Stone is "light" relative to crusher run gravel. You can't get a full 23 ton load unless you have high side boards, so it is always right up to the top. Most loader operators are good and will "wipe" it off the boards if there is too much up there. Most drivers/ owners are good and will have boards that come to a point on top so that stone can't sit on it. Most drivers will stop and "trim' the load if needed, to keep stone from falling off. but there are still many that will drive down the road and let it fly where it will. The quarry that I hauled out of the most had one guy that was there the longest, was employed with his own truck nearly all year, and I never saw him once out of his truck to trim a load. He always drove fast, totaled two trucks in four years, and probably spilled more material on the roads than all the other drivers put together.
