Back in 9th grade I worked summers job at county road department. I often was called on to tell dump trucks where to dump at. This consist of standing where you want them to put the left corner of the dump gate at, then shooting your thumb up as signal to dump.
This one driver, after having traveled clear across the county with a load backed up to dump and was empty. We all stood in dumb amazement how a driver could come clear across the country in an empty dump truck and not know it.
Incidentally, I also worked a Bull Gang crew just like was shown on Cool Hand Luke. The trucks were about the same, and the crew formans were ex-prison guards. What was the prison turned into the country road department lol. We would travel to some location and sling weeds, shovel dirt, or clean out pipes.
