Their are a few tipper drivers on here that i know of so wont be long before you have some advice
Rule 1. Check for overhead cables.
Make sure you open the rear doors before you start tipping. 
When on any road, be it A,B, or M/WAY do not let your speed drop below 56km/h or everyone will know you are a newbie.
Most importantly, do not follow my example [

Depends on what you are carrying.
Main things to look out for
Overhead cables (the first one you hit could be your last!!! )
Keep the vehicle in as straight a line as possible and on level ground (neither of these is always possible especially on farms,)
If you cant tip body slowly, wait for product to come out then tip a bit more. always stay by the controls, if you think the body isnt safe lower immeadiately
Watch out for high winds when tipping, it might be OK with weight on, but if the body is up the loads coming off
When tipping through a grain hatch (with or without sock) there will be some product still in the trailer corners when it has stopped coming through hatch.(this could be up to a couple of tonnes )
Never stand behind trailer when tipping, the back door hinges and catches are all that is between you and 30 ton of product
When delivering to farms…
Never refuse a brew (you wont get asked again )
Watch out when the farmer helps to lock the door up. (you’ll get a steel bar in the gonads )
Never throw a ball for the dog (you’ll be there all day )
Watch out for a PM
