Erm...the distance to the horizon has nothing to do with it, as it is a function of the observer's height. The truck would only have to be curved because 60 miles is a sufficiently large fraction of the Earth's diameter so that the truck would have motive problems otherwise.

The truck could still be perfectly flat - it just needs to have a large ground clearance!

Cool truck... let's see... to the south is the continental divide at 12000 ft elevation, to the east is brider mountains at 12500 , west is caribou mts. at 10000 ft, and north into idaho lies the bitter-roots at about 9600 feet elevation. 30 mile valley, bounded by 3000 meter mountains, and a 60 mile long truck... i got a head ache here just thinking of the jack job on that poor mama truck... Large ground clearance indeed!😀

🙂 Luckily the axles don't have to be very high off the ground, so it can still have standard wheels.
