Well, I drove a logging truck for 16 years and I think we put our trucks through the same if not more then a dump truck. We had long hood petes with air ride. No broken suspensions, no torn out trannies or rearends. we ran 550 cats and 18 speeds. Its all how you drive it.

And I agree with Mackman, That ass should be fired for beating a truck like that.

Your right jumbo them logging truck do take one hell of a beating. I think they get beat more then a dump truck.

Look at this clown i guess he forgot to open up his gate. He is more worried about lunch then the truck.

When I was a kid, our next door neighbor was having his yard leveled, which meant a LOT of dirt. They were hauling it in with tri-axle straight dumps.

One of the trucks backed in to dump, but I guess the dirt was wet, so it stuck in the bed. When he raised the bed, itstood the truck up on its rear axle. The had to use an excavator to get the dirt out.

After they got the dirt out, they found out the truck had sunk in the soft ground. So they talked to my dad and he let them chain up to a huge silver maple tree in our yard (prolly 3 feet across at the trunk). The truck was so stuck that when they were using come-alongs on it, it pulled the base of the tree out of the ground.

They ended up having to get a big wrecker in, shutting down the main street just to get it out.

For a 10 year old boy, that was the BEST thing ever to watch.

Wtf? If we would have had roads like that we would have been painting fog lines on them. Sometimes we only had where they cut the stumps off close to the ground and then rounded them off so we wouldnt cut a tire.
