Hey man, how do you find driving the Euros compared to the Kenworths and Macks etc? Also, does the 600 handle a load like that pretty good? Is it a Volvo D16 engine or a Cummins? I know some of the Volvos came with Cummins ISX and Road Rangers as options.
Sam Evans I’m at kenworth man through and through but for comfort you can’t beat a euro this Volvo has a 16L 600 hp Volvo motor in it and pulls really good
I ran into my first road trains ever today on way to Geraldton an back on Brant hw... You guys dont fuck around ill give you that. Scared shit outa me . I look up an theres a HUGE truck beside me... look down an im doing a reallgood speed...kph.... jesus
don't be afraid around road trains ill give you that advise if you are being passed by one a complimentary flash of your lights once passed is a big help and same when you are going to over take 1 please be patient 9 times out of 10 drivers will flick there right indicator on to signal that it is ok to pass
Hi there. Congratulations on the video. Inspiring. I am making a film about a couple who are riding a tandem bike across from Perth to Adelaide. Please may I have permission to use some of your footage as I want to give a sense of other road users. The road trains are an iconic part of the journey. It is a training film for a service organisation and the purpose is to raise funds to end polio.
Fajar Nugroho I only have the 1 at the moment and that's not of me but I'll be back in the 53.5 meter triples soon so will film more and of quads as well but if you look at my videos there is 2 short videos of quads 1 a fuel tanker and the other tippers

I know the feeling. It's my dream to drive these massive roadtrains in Australia, and I'm Brazilian. Maybe one day I'll visit there or move there. Here the max. allowed is 30m and 74t
Vaping Truckie yes still road train. Just they call it a b triple in aussie isnt that correct. I like trucks alot. I have a farming game that you can set up a huge road train(longest I got to was 22 trailers(logging trailers flat beds tankers and tippers. Truck was something like 1200hp and it really struggled to get going.
aussiefirie here we go again a road train is not determined by whether it has a dolly or not it is determined by length u don’t pull 3 a trailers and a b on long vehicle signs even though it’s upwards of 44 meters when this b triple is 36.5 meters it’s the same length as a double road train so y run long vehicle signs same length mate road train it is
Nathan Brock. It is not a road train, it's a B triple, you idiot! A road train is a prime mover pulling two or more full sized trailers, with a converter dolly between each trailer. Oh, and were you home schooled by your neighbours cat, and do you even know what punctuation is? It's very easy to see you're a very dedicated moron!
Having a dollie between two trailers doesnt make something a road train. You pop a dollie between 2 20 foot trailers and run down the road with a long vehicle sign not road train signs. Road train signs are put up based on length, not combination type. But, most trucks running two trailers have some sort of road train nick name. Eg: pocket road train, b train etc. That's probably where the confusion comes from
