Giant Dump Truck Takes Police on a Chase

Video

Tales like these, no matter how old, never die. It’s something that you have to see to believe. If your in the trucking industry, especially around this kind of equipment, you’ll understand the magnitude of the situation first hand.

After stealing a 53 ton, $700,000 giant dump truck, a man took police on a wild goose chase. Actually more like a wild elephant chase.
It’s not your typical stolen vehicle, and police officers are unable to use all their typical tactics. The tires are too big to be affected by spike strips, and the truck is just too heavy to be pushed by the officer’s cruisers.

After chasing him for 4 hours, at 35 miles per hour, eventually the driver runs out of gas. Obviously not a great idea to steal a giant dump truck and take officers for a ride, but his driving skills were commendable — no one was injured, he didn’t even get into an acciden

How to Turn Your Pickup Truck into a Mini Semi Truck

Getting tired of driving around in your old Ford F-250 7.3-liter diesel? Why not revamp it into a miniature Peterbilt semi? At least it looks good at the stoplight.

An outfit in Tennessee called Lil’ Big Rig has taken on quite a unique specialty for fans of 18 wheelers – they can turn your Late 80’s model to early 1998 model Ford F250 ext cab, 2 WD with automatic into a 3/4 scale Peterbilt or Kenworth semi truck, inside and out.

The bad news? Money wise…ouch. It ain’t cheap, and if you want anything special put on, you may have to help the builder locate some surrogate parts for your tiny Peterbilt. The base price of the Peterbilt model is $12,950 currently. That makes this head turner more of a head shaker for most truck drivers.

The interior is completely revised and resembles the cab of a semi, and what’s a semi truck without a rear space to relax in? All Lil Pete and Lil Kenny kits come with a full rear sleeper available with seats or room for an actual bed.

Under the mock-semi hood is a standard gas or diesel V-8 engine, with space for a smaller diesel or straight-six-cylinder mill. Lil Kenny models can even be fit with Chevy’s massive 454 big-block V-8.

Have a look at these cool toys. If you’re so inclined, you might want to start saving your pennies now.CDLLife

Truck Drivers Unlawfully Fired Win $300k

Two truckers have recently filed suit and won against their former employer, Star Air, Inc. They were fired for refusing to drive due to the company’s trucks not being in good legal standing. They were awarded over $300,000 and offered a return to their previous positions with the company.

The situation began when one of the drivers was pulled over because his truck didn’t visibly display the company’s name or DOT number. He shared this information with a fellow driver from the company who was also driving a truck without the required information.

The drivers brought this to the attention of their boss and refused to drive until the proper information was displayed, due to legal concerns. They were immediately fired by the company.

US dept. of Labor sued the carrier on behalf of the drivers and they were awarded $302,000 for the unlawful firing.

Finally, truckers fight back (and win) for getting pushed around by a company.
