While most people are familiar with dump trucks, those employed by the construction and mining industry are a little different. In fact, most mining operations only utilize off-highway dump trucks, and the largest of these don’t travel over public roadways. Termed a haul truck when used for mining - they carry away overburden, haul other waste material and deliver paydirt to the wash plant (1).
