I remember working this site. It was a 100 home subdivision. We had two machines — my Cat 953 track loader below and a Cat D6 dozer. The D6 did most of the deep digs and road grades (stuff I really couldn’t do with my machine) and I cleared and loaded trees and dug shallow foundations. At this site a concrete truck fell into a hole, dumped its load, and wrecked a massive footing already in place. I had to dig him out. What a mess. Took half a day of work and cleanup. The driver was young and he just misjudged the ramp, got too close to the edge, and flipped himself over. Damn near killed himself in the process too. More excavating here.
