This is the first road train video I have seen where most of the information is correct - good work!

I drive road trains all over Australia I pull anything from 2 trailers up to 4 trailers compared to all the other videos and trucking in Australia it's like all there research was half assed but this video I absolutely love it

Davon träumt man ein Leben lang mal so einen Truck zu fahren einfach nur geil

Sorry but this was a lightweight overview of Road trains in Australia.

Amazing it has a narrator they shall all be like that on RU-vid , amazing with the explanations!

Very nice video

Good one...

Road trains in Australia date back to prior to World War 1 when steam traction engines pulled multiple trailers, many large unique 'one off' vehicles were built here in Australia to pioneer large multiple trailer 'trains" and around 1930 the British firm AEC built heavy duty multiple axle trucks to pull multiple trailers in Ghana, Australia and South Africa . These had an 8.8 liter diesel of 130 hp with a 4 speed gearbox with 3 speed transfer cases and 4 driving axles pulling around 30 feet of trailers with 30 - 35 tons. Later after WW2 the availability of large ex US army trucks brought out to Australia during the Pacific war led to local modifications of ie the Diamond T M20 tank transporter prime movers, by Kurt Johansen , then later large British Thornycroft's, AEC and Foden brands. This history has created the highly specialised unique and highly modified here in Australia, American and European models that now power our road trains. Often running 6 500 liter fuel tanks , multiple air compressors to run the air braking systems on 3 - 7 trailers, oversize cooling systems not often required on standard American and European trucks and a myriad of other engineering feats to reliably pull these massive weights has created a local expertise not common in other continents.

I'm split about the new format - because NOT having a narrator was the standout feature of this channel in a sea of robo-voiced RU-vid tech channels... 👀

love this new narration , its just like dark5 and its sub cfhannels all over again

You forgot to mention the best trucks ever built,MACK!!!

We Have SCANIA'S,KENWORTH'S,WESTERN STARS,MACK'S,FREIGHTLINERS,MERCEDES-BENZ'S, VOLVO'S,INTERNATIONAL'S,ECT 😃

Truck Trailer panjang 👍

Its great to have a narrator.

Hello, I have a request: how can I obtain the addresses of companies hiring truck drivers? Can you help me please? Thank you

Dont forget Mack, where it all began

200tons use axle ratio on 5.30 or 4.50

Bagaimana caranya supaya dapat kerja jadi sopir di Australia?

💯💯💯👍👍👍👍👍💪💪💪💪💪💪

Terrible wages for drivers ($600 / week ) is terrible wages

Почему заглавие на русском и без перевода?

it;s cheaper and quicker to build a road than a railways system. makes sense ????:"

There is no climate threat. A thousand years ago, you could make a living from agriculture in Greenland, which is completely impossible today, and then the so² levels were significantly lower than today.

Road Train

My wage was $150 000 a year

Those Euro Trucks look very Feminime😂😂

Are yes...we must reduce the good old carbon foot print. 🤪

Drivers getting up to $70k! Haha, double that and you're getting closer to the real figure.

I thought trains were easier compare to truck transport system. So to transport something Trucks are better option than trains???? And how does this effect environment??? You said trains are complex but I think trains are more easier for longer route on that freight trains who do not have to stop constantly and railway do not have to take care of stations

70k salary, i would not get out of bed for that.

Капец полегчало с переводчиком!не будет перевод на другой язык отпишусь!!!

$70K AUS/year ain't much; that's only $45k US. Heck, I was making that much driving here in the US 35 years ago!!!! No WONDER they can't find drivers; companies there are even bigger cheapskates than American trucking companies!!!

Why do road trains exist? Because they have not built real trains yet.

400,000 pounds total? Bullshit.
