The world's largest truck is
the Liebherr
T
282B, used for hauling in the mining industry. At more than 24
feet tall and 47 feet long, the 224-ton monstrosity can still putt
along at 40 miles per hour. New Scientist has published an interview
with Francis Bartley, head of R&D for Liebherr:
"The first time I was in it at a mine, the driver started
to drive away and actually ran into the back of a service truck. It
seems we mashed it down to the ground. I saw someone yelling, but we
didn't feel a thing."

07/06/2004 06:26 PMI don't come from a family of car people, you know, those kind of
people that actually car about cars, buy new cars, keep their cars
clean, and/or actually name their cars. No, my parents represented
that rarest of California demographic during their eight years in the
Bay Area: the one car family. Nearly my whole life our four-person
family had one solid, dependable car. Nothing too flashy, and rarely
anything new. At this very moment, my parents swear their current car
(purchased used) is satisfactory, even though they just had the door
welded back on because it was rusted through and nearly fell off.
So imagine my surprise this summer when I discovered that there was a
vehicle for me! After years of avoiding driving as much as possible,
and in general demonstrating great distain for all things car, I've
unlocked one of my life's mysteries. You know how they say you really
figure out who you are in your thirties? Well I've discovered I am a
truck person!
I've been lucky to have a 1996 Ford pick-up at my disposal this
summer, and boy have I enjoyed tooling around in it! Aside from its
obvious greatness due to its green color, it's also just fun. It bumps
along the dirt roads in a very satisfying manner. Its bed is perfect
for holding my clamming gear, or mulch, or just beach chairs. And
everywhere I go, I share knowing nods with other island pick-up truck
drivers. Yup, I may not be a car person. But I sure am a truck person.

What's huge,
slow, and capable of hauling up to 400 tons of bullshit? While my
first response would probably be Slashdot, too, in this case we're describing the
Liebherr T 282B truck, a 224 ton monster with a massive
3650-horsepower diesel engine. New Scientist has an interview with
Liebherr R&D head Francis Bartleby in which he drops a load of tasty T
282B trivia, like the fact that the huge diesel engine actually
generates electricity to power two electric drive motors, and the
story about the time a driver of one of the big trucks accidentally
crushed a normal-sized service truck and didn't even notice.

We made a rule in the house this year that packages mailed to us
and still unopened count as wrapping, whether or not the things inside
are wrapped as well (we have no way of knowing). You can't see what's
inside the boxes so it does the same thing as wrapping. It also cuts
out a stupid step where you have to open a present for someone, wrap
it, then have them open it on xmas day.
But not this year, brown boxes count just as much as holiday paper
wrapping.

that these facilities are environmentally friendly since the truck

As my buddy Ryan put it, the new CXT truck
is "not just Muppets silly, it's like 'I can't believe he killed the
whole human race,'" kind of silly. The new 21.5-foot truck weighs
seven tons and gets about 6 to 10 miles to the gallon. It's
essentially a semi-truck scaled back to be a consumer vehicle - but
it's still going to cost over $90k.

chasing another kind of wireless. Truck-stops that install WiFi can
attract more business from bandwidht-hungry long-haul drivers.
David Maloney, a trucker from Aledo, Texas, is one who'll go the
distance to reach a truck stop equipped with wireless Internet access.
"The only time I really get to use any kind of broadband is out here
on the road," said Maloney, who recently stopped at a Flying J with
Wi-Fi on his way from Virginia to Appleton, Wis. "That's the whole
reason I came this far last night."
