Everything about this truck is HUGE!!! The tires are over 14 feet tall and more than 5 feet wide. The dump bed is used to house a theater that seats about 50 people (the main photo shows people waiting outside the theater). The rear-view mirrors are over 30 feet apart. The fuel tank holds a whopping 1000 gallons. And this truck can haul 400 tons of rock in just a single load! Its 22 feet tall when moving but when it tips up the bed it rises to over 51 feet in the air. The driver sits about 18 feet off the ground to drive this rig and has to climb a short ladder and then a flight of stairs just to get to work. No road rage allowed when driving one of these giants!!
