Narrative

990F loader was loading 777D haul truck with rocky material containing very little fines. The first bucket contained a large rock. With no material in the bed or the truck to cushion the shock, the rock landed in the bed and ""shook"" the truck driver around. He sought medical treatment for a ""sore"" back on 10-18-06 and was diagnosed with a lumbar strain.
