Hey, where are you all storing your dumpers at the end of shift? we've got a bit of a mess right now with machines parked every which way, blocking access or baking in full sun, management hasn't given us a designated area, so it's turned into a free-for-all ,kind of situation, I for one was always taught to store your dumper on level ground, bucket down, out of the way but apparently that's like asking for too much these days. So please what are you all doing, and also best practices please
 
I usually park dumpers on level ground with buckets down and out of main traffic areas to keep things safe and yeah, accessible. Without a designated spot, its easy for things to get messy, so best practice is to suggest to management setting up a clear, shaded area where machines can be lined up properly and checked easily. It keeps everyone safe and makes shift handovers way smoother

I would say shade, its ideal but not always possible, biggest thing is having a plan, maybe push management for a marked area or at least some ground rules
 
We park ours on level ground, bucket down, lined up along the fence near the shade, it keeps things organized and accessible. Management should really designate a clear staging area though
