Say what you want, but the man knows his dumptrucks. That’s a tandem dump truck. If you have ever pushed one for any amount of time, the tandem is a major upgrade from the single tire. Turning radius is hindered a bit, but if you have never loaded one up too heavy and tipped it over, rest assured, your time is coming. Sure it’s not a Jackson, but it’ll do.

hopefully he got a wood handled backhoe to go with it. None of that flimsy mess.

It may be one of them things like melting a machinegun barrel down. It may hold as long as the vacuum is on it, and melt when it stops....:ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO:

You know, and this is serious, I was working in Michigan off the I-94 corridor when we saw a truck hauling butt down the highway, with fire coming from underneath it. So, we lit up the lights and got up behind him, I was ready to get the fire extinguisher when we stopped.

But the guy kept driving.

So my partner pulled along side him, and I rolled down my window. We were doing about 90.

I told the guy he had some fire going on underneath the bed, and he said, "no sh[t!, I think it's a hole in the tank. I hit something a ways back, and it sparked and she caught. I'm afraid to stop because it may torch the whole truck."

I said, "I got a fire extinguisher"

He said, "Well, I can't have much gas left, as long as I keep going fast till I run out, I should be OK."

Just about then, the gas must've dropped below hole level, flames dwindled out.

I always thought there was a lesson there, and keeping the air flow in that straw may just be it.

Only problem with the straw thing.... you get too much of that super smooth, high octane stuff and you're in a truckload of trouble !
