The bulldozer pushes Troy's car down into the pit from the rear, then covers it with gravel from the side of the pit. When the camera pans out after the car is buried, there is a large pile of gravel behind where the back of the car would be. Therefore it would have been impossible to push the car in from the rear.
The large pile of gravel behind the car was pushed there by the bulldozer. You can see the path the machine made to push it there. (The bulldozer pushing the dirt there was not shown on screen.)
