Lucky you. I never got to drive the big stuff until I was in my 20's.

Saw a guy flip a dump truck on its side once. He was dumping a load of tailings and backed his right rear wheel over a small hump, maybe 18" higher than where the other wheel was setting. When the bed lifted that 18" was magnified at the top of the load and the center of gravity pulled the truck right over onto its side.
