“It’s a truck body on a tractor foundation,” he said. “It’s pretty slow — it’s more of a work vehicle.”

“Its like a driveshaft for different attachments, for things that operate different hydraulic systems,” Mr. Desrochers said.

When asked about the singularity of the truck, Mr. Derochers simply replied “we work on everything.”
