Odd sentence, ain't it, but also like half the reasoning why people keep buying ever bigger cars and trucks.

The other half is "some other schmuck thinking this will snuff me out", which, fair, but how do you not arrive at the conclusion the eternal arms race of weight and height with cars is like, super bad?

You need special training, licensing, and (likely) random drug testing to drive "heavy" machinery that's smaller and weighs less than these trucks. Those vehicles can't go 100mph, either.

Depends on the job, I've seen machine operators who are absolutely not passing a random drug test and I've also operated a couple with absolutely no license ๐Ÿ˜‡

Still agree that murdertrucks are bad but don't assume anyone is enforcing any rules with regards to heavy machinery lol
