Huh? It's the 5000+ pounds that makes the bumps better! No more

You mean like the GMC TopKick we have at work? The ride is terrible,
even with the 1000-gallon water tank full.

I imagine your TopKick has "really stiff suspension", like other CDL
and near-CDL trucks. It's certainly no consumer light truck that
doubles as a personal vehicle.

Yes, a TopKick is a bit small for personal use.

It does do a nice job of hauling this around on a trailer, however.

Your link is missing the best one. I once saw such a parody page
that included a picture of an "SUV" the size of a house, which
included a Ford Expedition strapped to the top as if it were a spare
tire.

I don't know what it's _supposed_ to do, but it sure is making me
drool. G

It is used for exploratory soil borings, installing monitoring wells,
rock coring, etc.

If you would like to run one, apply for a job as a driller or drill
helper. There are usually vacancies open due to the nature of the job:
long to very long hours, a lot of out of town travel, working outdoors
in inclement weather, heavy lifting, getting covered in dirt on a
consistent basis, etc. Many drillers (in the US) also lose their jobs if
the lose their CDL's.

You never forget first time you lose your Commercial Driver's
License...the shame, the flashing lights, the police officers, it takes
me right back just thinking about it.
