    Anything too big for an SUV typically goes on a transport designed to haul large loads. Goose necks for pick up trucks are mostly a north american thing.

    The example you bring up also mentions how that truck is just for work, which isn’t really the problem. The problem is when the boss decides to drive that massive truck everywhere because his ego is so big he thinks hes needs the truck to go anywhere.

      No kidding! Do contractors in your country own their own equipment or is that a more common thing in USA? We have equipment rental places in the USA but I feel like any business that uses machines regularly ends up owning them. Feel like it would be weird to own equipment and have no way of transporting it LOL

        I’m in Canada so I’m very familiar with contractors owning goose necks and large trucks, it just doesn’t work like that everywhere in the world. The more remote/small the community, the more it makes sense for small owner/operators to be able to haul their own equipment.
