If you look at the truck the drivers side of the bed is folded half way down this is so the harverster dosen't drop the potatoes too far and avoid bruising them when the truck begins to fill up, the side gate is raised by the truck driver and the harvester continues to load the truck till it is fully loaded. Then the process begins all over again with the next truck. The tractor driver directs the truck driver ahead or back while loading, and the two have to be syncronized to load the trucks correctly, and have the load centered on the truck for transportation to the cellar.
