Just gettn thru the day without buying new gates was a win.:laughing:You can see how close the tracks are, they have to cut it close. this is crossing a road, gates on the other side are really close.

Doesnt matter if you can parallel park, with that beast you can park it any where you want. lol

Tiff rode with Wes on a little bigger truck. Mrs T wanted to drive this one but its a bit tighter thru the gates, looks like roseanne trying to squeeze into a pair of skinny jeans

I'm curious about where/what these beasts are used for? Hauling ore from an open pit mine, maybe? Didn't know Georgia had such operations.

This site is open pit granite in SC. But I was using the pit trucks to dig containment pond. The trucks dont belong to me, but we use them all the time.
