The Colossal Capterpillar 797 Haul Truck
Mcballs1234, 
How many miles per cat
sizzler, These are the types of tyres, that when they blow have inch thick steel cable in the side walls that could decapitate three men in a go. Ask me how I know…
Someguy89, How do you know?
sizzler, Didn’t find them til they didn’t report in for lunch…
can, I’m so sorry
snooggums, 
They we're decapitated, obviously.
Deceptichum, 
Eh Bagger 288 would win in a fight.
bloopernova, 
AKA my zombie apocalypse truck. You could stick a fair sized RV in the bucket and live there.
Jode, Or, what a “full size truck” in America is going to be in 5 years.
LifeInMultipleChoice, The amazing part is that both vehicles in this picture get the same gas mileage!

SCB, Inshallah
Gork, I wonder what the overhang is for.
meldroc, When hauling for a quarry, it’s to keep the cab & driver from being smushed when the bucket gets filled with a big pile of boulders.
DestroyerOfWorlds, saw one of these rolling coal at a Chic-fil-A
HonkTonkWoman, Don’t you start planting seeds for a Chik-fil-a food truck now…
callouscomic, Where is the racing series for them?
squirrel, 
There would be no overtakes. The thing blocks the whole track :) youtu.be/5oWiRKnAThU
name_NULL111653, So? Just get a bigger dirt track, like the width of a demo derby pit but a quarter mile track…
HonkTonkWoman, They should re-release Ivan Stewart’s Super Off-road & make this an unlockable upgrade.
You just drive around flattening all the jumps & crushing the other drivers.
meldroc, Monday Night Rehabilitation!
teamevil, Beef Supreme!
Gorroth, 
Thank you. Now I have to watch it once again :D
50MYT, V8 supercars for the smaller one.
Oha, 
Holy fuck thats giant! What are these things used for?
Kraven_the_Hunter, (edited ) Hauling at mines.
There are pictures of large pickup trucks (think Ford F250/F350) flattened like a pancake fire from trying to pass one of these without alerting the driver they’re there. When you’re on a mine, these things always have the right of way.

Kraven_the_Hunter, Yep, that’s a bad one…
LifeInMultipleChoice, Reminds me of the signs they used to have in Seminole County by railroads (could have been elsewhere as well)
“Big train, little car, are you passed the stop bar?”
HonkTonkWoman, “Toot. Toot. Mother fucker. I’m coming through.”
Thebazilly, Ah yes, a new picture every MSHA refresher. No visibility on a haul truck when you have to climb a staircase to get into the cab.
meldroc, I imagine this beast doesn’t exactly stop on a dime, especially with a big load.
Train rules apply. The train always wins. The vehicle with a staircase to the driver’s cab always wins.
robotrash, I could be mistaken but I believe they move materials in rock quarries, at least that’s what I saw on an episode of some discovery show many years ago. I still think about them regularly too since it’s like 3 stories tall and has a stair case to get to the driver seat lol
JohnDClay, Moving lots of dirt/rock cheaply. Mostly in mining.
