A larger gate in a cedar slat fence

Want to have a fence built with a gate wide enough for a dump truck to come in. Truck is 8' wide and gates are 8' wide from what I can see. Any thoughts on how to build. Some thoughts are to put gate on wheels. Apparently the problem with a too large gate is sagging. Anyone do this?

Have you considered a double swing gate? Or using a steel frame for the gate?
