V8 tippers are purely for bragging rights and nothing else, we have a couple of subbys with 500 v8 scanias that run with us on busy jobs and they can’t get anymore runs done than our 380s can.
Yep, not that long ago you’d only have seen those things hauling big diggers for Heanor. Now you see boy racer truck drivers tailgate car drivers on the M1 in their 4x2 V8 artics. These wildly over-specced tippers should be restricted IMHO, especially in cities - a laden 32-tonner with a 580 engine could do a lot more damage if a terrorist got hold of it than even a normal tipper, but the same goes for a plain incompetent driver.
