Narrative

A haul truck was having trouble getting backed into the shovel for loading. To assist the truck into position due to a slight grade and loose material, the shovel operator put the bucket in the bed of the truck for weight/traction and in doing so the bed of the truck raised and then returned to its lowered position causing a jarring effect in the cab.
