I wonder how long it took for someone to get the gumption to turn that idea into reality!

Hmmm, would bring road rage to an all new level.

Strangely enough you will also find this video saying it is a Land Rover being crushed :confused: :confused: :confused:

Not bad considering those size trucks are electric drive at the wheels!

1. no it is nothing new - we see them often.
and
2.no they don't get paid $100k pa that's what apprentices get paid at coal mines - drivers get closer to $200k pa.
and
3. no they didn't strip anything out of it before doing it
and
4. Bosses 100s Cruiser wagons get done whenever there is a hint of a strike etc coming on.
and
5. If the truck had a load in the back (250 tonnes) it wouldn't have bucked around as much as it did.

Yes. Basically when fully loaded it is easier to control the speed by 'reversing the field' in the motors instead of using a conventional braking system.
