  1. And that's not even the biggest dump truck.

  2. People who have not worked with, on, or around big mining machinery have no idea of the scale of them.

  3. Might be a diesel shortage coming. Good luck making equipment like that run on batteries.

  4. The rock removers extending from the bed to down in between the duals are interesting. I've never seen something like that before. Good idea.

  5. A friend in the mining industry told me the line of sight out the right side is 200 feet to see the ground. Inside that is complete blind spot, where many accidents happen.

  6. Kind of interesting that the warning beacons are under the dump.
    Nobody could see them on top.

  7. I was on my bosses list and got to remove the radio out of a shifters pickup that had one of these sitting on top of it. He had stopped to talk on said radio when the truck started up the back. He bailed out the passenger side window just in time to avoid being hurt. I had a heck of a time getting the radio out from behind the seat and the head and mike setup and wiring pulled out.
