1. Happy milestones to all....uh....stoners!?

The largest vehicle I've ever driven was a medium-sized U-Haul truck. I had to take a Bicentennial art exhibit from Chicago to Milwaukee. After that, the exhibit went to the Minnesota state capitol. Fortunately, the Milwaukee people got a freight company to move it. I had to go to Minneapolis/St. Paul to oversee the installation, but flew to and from there.

2. Kind of a toss up as to how you define biggest...

I'll have to go with three:

I drove a locomotive once for fun.

I drove 18 wheelers for a decade and a half

And I drove a B350 Caterpilar Challenger, a Farmall on steroids, unit weighed 44K lbs.

They were all big.

4. Congrats DU'ers

What’s the biggest vehicle you’ve driven?

Waaay back when I was young and worked in the cement block factory, I was the backup driver for the backhoe loader. Whenever the regular driver was out, I got to drive it for the day... Heh, it was like driving a giant tonka toy

5. I drove a lot of miles hauling single and double semi-trailers with a Peterbilt anteater tractor

that had a 335 Cummins 6-cylinder diesel. The most powerful tractor I ever ran was a White with an Allis-Chalmers 450 6 cylinder. Both tractors were real roadrunners but with the White I could
pass other rigs pulling up a grade even when I grossed 85,000 pounds. Those were the days!

6. I was the vanpool driver at a former place of employment.

I drove a 15 passenger van.
