Bob, found this video of that truck:
The Cat 797 below is from the Suncor operation in the Alberta (Ft McMurray) oil sands. My son was thinking of going up there a year or so ago. He was a heavy eqipment operator in the Air Force (RED HORSE unit in the Gulf and Korea). Suncor wanted to train him to operate one of these. He has a wife that he had to consider and declined. Has a great job where he is in Yorkton, SK.
Suncor claims this is "largest truck in the world". This is all I know about this truck.
