I don't know Lone. Ever since you bought that nifty monster rig, I've been taking close note of every such truck that goes by me on regular state and town roads and I gotta tell you: That would probably be too much truck for the poor old Dougster™ to handle comfortably... even out in (wider open) Western MA where the old Jayster lives! I know that someday I'll need a dump truck big enough to haul around a full-size hoe, but at least the overall length won't be nearly so long.

Of course LarryRB (who used to drive the large rigs all over creation) thinks I'm nutz... but then again LarryRB ALWAYS thinks I'm a little nutz!
