Big Boys Toys

After 25+ years as a grunt in the construction industry, I was recently promoted / demoted as an organizer for labor. On an organizing campaign last week in "Gods Country" I came across this shot. Notice the size of mini transport in front (seats 2 men). These "End Dumps" (Tonka Toys) have got to be most enjoyable pieces of equipment I've ever operated. One employer used to let us drag race these monsters down the haul road on fridays after work so we could get a release from the hectic work week. Boy I loved those days
Trucks made by Volvo.

Cool. Great shot! Try cropping out the back of the truck in the lower right. Also, if you cropped the left side - bring a little back so we can see the edge of the mechanical arm.
