Real interesting to see how you do things, can barely remember my father's last truck with a nose. Think he sold it in '81... found a pic of a very similar one...

No, that was in wyoming. I run a small drilling rig. Can't go much over 1000ft deep with that one. Drill alot of exploration holes, core samples for coal mines in the powder river basin. We are the energy capital of the nation. Campbell county produces more coal for power plants than any other state or county In the nation. We also do huge dewatering field for the mines as well.

Here's a clip to show you how tight the norwegian roads are, and watch the roundabout with it's sharp stones both inside and outside of the curve.
Know some of the pics in here are for special transport, but think you in general have longer wheelbase than we have.
And yes I know I should have turned the radio off earlier, and wiped the seagull-poo of my mirror...

I just picked up my brand new truck,it's a 2013 Peterbilt with a Palfinger 100002 50 ton knuckle crane.All this for only $660,000...
She's fully loaded with navigation,satellite radio and TV and has all the comforts of leather heated seats and a bunch of other bells and whistles.
Been told that this is the biggest crane sold and installed in Western Canada to date.
This truck is all set up for hauling and launching smart pigs in the pipeline.Some of the pigs I launch are over 26,000 lbs so this crane should do the job fairly easily

Wow, that is one big truck! But the price is about what my truck costed, but not new that we pay alot for things here in Norway. Don't know about Canadian $ but payed 3,5 million norwegian kroner (nkr). Do I still have more hp than you?

This truck has the Cummins ISX with only 495 HP,it felt okay without a load but with a load on I was dropping gears for some hills on the highway.
I made up my mind that I am going to stay driving the Western Star,Its hard going from 600 HP down to only 495....

Dave, you don't have pics from under or inside the truck??
