Significant Technical Input
Who wants to do the math?

100,000 dump trucks @ 40 yds. each = 260,000 average tandem axle dumps (normally rated at 15yds./truck). Guesstimate the truck length at 22'. How fast could a string of trucks drive, bumper-to-bumper, past the chute and be fully loaded? And, could and endless stream keep up?
