			It's not just highway trucks.  Numerous instances of quarry trucks taking down conveyors with a raised bed.  My favorite is a quarry truck going downhill into an underground facility, bed up, hit the tunnel entrance and left the bed on the ground behind him.  Sadly, it happened again, about a year later.  Not the same driver.  Newer off road dumps have interlocks between bed-up and transmission controls - restricts trans shifting into higher gears if bed is not seated.   But, you can still do a lot of damage in low gear!
