What happens here

The truck and trailer are positioned next to a large pile of gravel. A heavy-duty loader, operated by a plant worker, begins to fill the dump trailer with gravel. The loader's bucket has a capacity of 5.5 cubic yards. The goal is to load approximately 13.5 tons (27,000 pounds) of rock into the trailer. Multiple scoops of gravel are added to ensure a significant overload.

Goal: Overload the dump trailer with a predetermined amount of gravel.
