This dump truck bends in the middle on purpose

2011 Cat 740B articulated dump truck and that big pivot joint between the cab and the bed is the whole point. A regular rigid hauler steers its front wheels. This one folds at the middle, so the front and rear sections can twist and follow different paths over rough ground. That is why you see articulated trucks on muddy, uneven job sites where a rigid truck would get stuck or slide around. Six wheels all driven, tires sized 29.5R25 (about 29 inches wide on a 25 inch rim) and a wide footprint that keeps it floating over soft dirt.

This one has 27,824 hours, and the listing mentions an air ride seat. Sounds like a small detail but operators spend entire shifts bouncing across rough haul roads, so a good seat matters more than people think. The inspection says the engine started and ran, with the drivetrain and hydraulics operational. Not bad for a truck that has been hauling dirt for over a decade.

This old Wellcraft proves boats sneak into auction yards too

1986 Wellcraft 260, sitting on a trailer surrounded by dozers and dump trucks instead of a marina. Faded paint, worn rails, still wearing its old registration stickers like a badge of honor.

Here is the fun fact most people do not know. Auction houses like this one do not just sell construction iron. Boats, RVs, trailers, even aircraft parts show up because businesses and government fleets liquidate all kinds of assets, not just machinery. A crew boat like this was probably used for ferrying workers or gear out to job sites on the water, which is honestly not that different from what a pickup truck does on land. Almost 40 years old and that hull still looks solid. Kind of wild seeing something built for water parked next to stuff built to move dirt.

Retirement plan on wheels and it is sitting in an auction yard

2002 Fleetwood Discovery, a diesel pusher motorhome that looks like it just rolled out of a campground. Big, clean and honestly kind of out of place in a lot full of dozers and semi trailers. These old Discovery coaches were built to cruise cross country for weeks at a time. Slide out, big awning, polished wheels up front. Twenty plus years old and it still looks ready to hit the highway. Found it on the Ritchie Bros listings while scrolling through the yard and I figured this crowd would appreciate a heavy duty motorhome too.

That long nose and blade combo never gets old

1995 Cat 140H motor grader, sitting in a parking lot looking way out of place next to those pickup trucks. That massive blade underneath and the long frame stretching out front are what let this thing carve a perfectly flat road out of raw dirt. No other machine really does that job the same way. Almost 30 years old, still wearing its original yellow paint under all the grime. Graders do not get the attention dozers and excavators do but ask any road crew and they will tell you nothing replaces one. Simple machine, does one job, does it better than anything else out there.

👽🦍 Bigfoot + Aliens… I Had to Make This

I have always thought Bigfoot and aliens belong in the same conversation. 😂 So I made this shirt around that idea, with Bigfoot and a little grey alien throwing up a heart and the message “WE BELIEVE IN YOU!”

Nothing too serious, just a fun design for anyone into cryptids, UFOs, weird sightings or generally outlandish stuff.

If this is your kind of weird, you can check it out here:

Check out the shirt on Amazon

Bigfoot believers 🤝 Alien believers. 👽🦍
