Sounds like they could really use a CVT. ;)

I'm sure they would love one, but it's probably not that easy/cheap to find one that can handle that much torque with such heavy loads. The biggest/heaviest trucks just end up using electric/traction motors running from diesel generators, so they don't need a transmission at all.
