That's a really intriguing container transport. I liked the way you used
the SNOT techniques to build the cab. One thing, though, there looks like
there might be a few too many driving wheels on the prime mover section,
that single set of steering wheels doesn't look strong enough for turning
such a driven assembly on their own.
Also, while the rounded tires are rather cool, if they're not driving on a
low-gravity planet, bigger or more robust tires might look better.
What it needs is a loading/unloading scene in which you can show another
vehicle, perhaps a forklift or crane, unloading the container itself, or the
contents in it. It also looks versatile enough to be converted into an ore
carrier/tipper without too much modification. You might even be able to
drive the tipper mechanism pneumatically, or with a few well-placed
gears/liftarms.
Cheers ...
