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.
