Over here in QLD Australia loading/ unloading as in the first video is quite common among the smaller machines, if you cant get off/on that way you dont get a job with some companys.

another fun way to load is when your truck driver doesnt adjust his trailer brakes and you pick up whe rear wheels of the dump truck. Loading our 160 once i ended up 30' downhill from where i started loading :eek:

I should be in the truck suspension business. I could make a fortune overseas.
