For those who like 18-wheeler trucks

G'day all

All around the world, stuff is transported via trucks - and they are the lifeblood of many communities. Here in outback Oz, these are the trucks that ply the roads and carry livestock from place to place.  These 2 trucks were part of a 6-truck group - each truck holding around 150 adult cattle
ps- the trucks are 53m / 180ft from head to tail and travel at around 90km/h / 55mph



As always feedback welcome

Crazy stuff pulling three trailers. They call them Land Trains don't they?

They used to allow triples in the American west (less Caliph0rnia anyway) Pretty efficient unless the wind is blowing hard....Good shots!

Why so serious?

G'day SF / Effron

Thanks for the response ... if the truck has only one trailer [and is an Aussie 22-wheeler] it's a short haul truck only. If it has 2 trailers, it's called a B-Double and does long-haul [500km / 300mile+], these above are B-Triples and we also have B-Quads for outback running - both called Road Trains, and the mining industry can go further on closed roads with up to 6 trailers. Our max allowed on public roads are B-Quads towing up to 142 tonnes of stuff
