Since I'm a relatively new guy here I really don't expect to win.....but I thought I would put up this pic to show my truck is a driver, not a trailer queen. This pic was taken about 550 miles from where I live.....

Dang, now I want to take my truck out of storage and DRIVE it! Kinda chilly here though....

Alright....heavy duty whoring:

And to give you a perspective on the size of that front axle:

That's a biga** pumpkin on that axle too!

Yes it is....it weighs nearly 1800# dry ...with no rims/tires.

 

[fatherdoug]

Wow!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Are those tractor/trailer setups common up there? Don't think I've ever seen one before...

Very common....most trailers are tridems as well.

The tandem concrete trucks here have a hinged third axle that comes down when loaded.

It took me litrally a 1/2hr to figure out who to vote for.

That F750 is bad *** though....that guy in that western star musta never heard of power dividers He doesnt look THAT stuck...

Working in construction, I'm always surprised at how easily big trucks get stuck. It's an everyday problem... Duncan's picture, however, looks like somewhere I would not take a truck in the first place...

Power dividers woudn't have done anything in that mud....he was very stuck.
The mud/clay/silt here is hard to describe....very sticky and slick.
Our 750 has lockers both front and rear and I was skating on that stuff.

As much as I woud like to mock the Teamster driver ...I do feel for him....those poor bastards are sent to these jobs and told to get there trucks in there or there is a sh*tacane from the builder/concrete finisher..etc..etc.
It's one of the reasons we got that 750 converted to 4x4....we get to these acreages and you can't get in...gravel is not an option as it just gets buried in a matter of hours/days.

What happens when they put grass on top of that and water it for five years?

 

[DNFXDLI]

You get prairie grass
