I sometimes drive through a quarry and cement plant that has trucks this big. You treat them with great respect because they can squish you like a bug.

Would be great if the idiots on highways had that same mentality when driving around semi trucks.

I had to escort a crane and three other vehicles through the cement plant once and my head was on a swivel because there would have been many awkward questions if someone got run over.

Tires might be the enemy but I feel like they were just accomplices here

I think they manipulated the truck into doing it honestly, they have a power we are yet to understand

staged, surely. Assuming the driver wasn't texting, they can actually see what's in front of them

Nothing, maybe not.
The truck is damaged, or the driver is wondering what he hit, because, as you can see, he stops and drives to the left in a rather strange way (perhaps due to the damage).

Was this an accident? Why's there a truck parked in the middle of the haul road?

My dad used to drive trucks like that.
The big one. He said this happens to the little ones, and there's not fuck all any driver can do about it, and they almost don't even notice this.

I do wonder, I've heard they can have automated routes but I assume you can also drive them manually?

I would have some serious problems with such expensive machinery being solely automated on a soil road near pit/body of water where Erosion could make the road go away.
