Today I am going over the basics of how to spread gravel with a dump truck, also called tailgating gravel. This video goes over the basic elements of tailgate spreading: adjusting the tailgate, speed control, dump truck bed operation, and judging the results. Spreading stone with a dump truck is a valuable skill that can save time and equipment costs when performed well
