I'll betcha that one will be transporting oil rigs across the desert. Kenworth has been building those for years. It's a pretty slick arrangement - two rigs running in tandem across the desert carrying an oil rig.

yep...we have a photo here in the office. It's too big to pull of the wall and scan.

I attended the "Basic Trucks" course at the Renton Kenworth plant. It was a week long course that pretty well drilled into what it takes to build a Kenworth. They showed a video of the custom trucks (like the one you're huggin') moving an oil rig. Man those drivers were incredible! One going forward and the other following along behind him - going backwards over the dunes! I wish I could find a picture of them!
