The only thing the truck won’t be able to do is cross a railroad track, back down into a loading dock, or enter a parking lot with any kind of a curb.

Super single tire blowouts play hell with aluminum too. I had a 3 foot long - 6 inch wide gash in the back of a Peterbilt sleeper after blowing one on the front drive axle. The boss was not real happy with me after that one....red

It will not hold up here on the
bakken
First of all, 65000 pounds ain’t $hit.
My Pete and trailer weigh 20 tons alone.
It would .have to run totally on the highway. Should you hit a curb even a little hard you would ruin your vehiles

A few weeks ago, I was minding my business in the right lane at a red light. The semi driver next to me decided that making a right turn from the left lane was a good idea. I’m not sure he even knew he hit me. He didn’t stop and my car wasn’t drivable.

It was a company car and since it was a hit and run, I was completely clear.

It would have really torn up those fiberglass sideskirts.
