I still remember back to when I was 3-4 with my mother as we drove between mining towns and sheep farms following my Dad and encountering these massive road trains. Mom used to pull off the roads when we saw them in the distance and we would watch them roar past. That's about 47 years ago now but I still remember the excitement of seeing them.

yeah. as a kid drove the stuart highway adelaide to coober pedy about a dozen times in 1976-7. overtaking trucks you an't even see how long they were cos of dust... you just floored it and kept on the road by looking left at the truck. You trusted the truckie to both give a safe signal to pass (one blink of the right indicator) and to steer for you, knowing you are literally driving blind until you clear the power train. Oh, yeah, on corrugated roads with a healthy measure of pea gravel and puddles of bulldust hiding ruts 2 feet deep. Oh, yeah,again, with scrub bulls chasing the car (short wheel base land cruiser carrying 200litres of drinking water(just in case... and there was a case in the long creek floods in 77)) and bloody roos and dead roos with eagles on the carcass, and at night where the road hypnotises the driver and the passenger is on the deadly serious task of watching for kangaroos... What a time and what a place. We gave directions to visitors... drive north out of adelaide, turn right at port augusta, turn right at kingoonya and we're the first house on the right. It was about 1100km and noone ever got lost.

What memories! I'm 70 now. When I was 17, my brother and two friends and I hitchhiked from the Three Ways Roadhouse (seen in the video) in the back of a refrigerated truck trailor. The refrigerator wasn't on but it was pitch dark. A total of 18 hitch hikers got on there but one of them went nuts as the truck was starting to pull away. He was banging on the walls with claustraphobia. Luckily for all of us, the driver heard him and stopped and let him out. The rest of us went on. My little group got out at Mt. Isa, Queensland. That was the first leg in our journey from the Northern Territory to back to our home in Sydney. Lots of adventure along the way. BTW, I'm American. My family moved to Oz when I was 16. Moved back to USA when I was 29. Lots of fond memories of Australia.

I drove a 2008 Isuzu Giga 550hp 18 speed hauling a road train from Canberra to Darwin non stop back n forth, she wasnt the most powerful truck but man she was reliable doing 9000kms a week she double shifted with two drivers in the cab at a time she worked hard, from new she worked that run for 4 and a 1/2 years. It wasnt until 250,000kms were the engine broke in and really started to lug from 1200rpm thru to 1650rpm. At around 1450rpm was were she liked to work and hold. We put 2.2 million kms on her at 85 tonnes. Yes the American and European trucks would overtake us but shed get them back when they would break down ahead and wed come lugging past. In the time I drove that truck she never failed, 2.2 millions kms at 85 tonnes without an engine, gearbox or diff was amazing. We had a core of good drivers who looked after it. That was back in 2008 to 2013, to my surprise in 2019 I was driving thru waggawagga and there she was hauling towards me still working!! She must've clocked over 4 millions kms that truck now, after 2.2 million the engine was still healthy she would burn only about 2 litres of oil between her 20,000km B services at that point, of all the trucks I've driven to this day she was my favourite not because of the look or power but because on Friday nights she always got me home on time for dinner and to see my family and spend Saturday with them.

What I like about pulling doubles or triples Is that they follow suit with one another, less off tracking unlike a single 48' or 53' trailer.

from what i heard road trains are actually fairly fuel and cost efficient for the load they carry. (you only have to pay 1 driver and 1 huge diesel engine is more efficient than 2 small ones) - however, the roads in usa/europe would not allow for such long vehicles so they have to use multiple lorrys. Railway might still be common in the states but in europe most loads are afaik carried by ships and lorrys.

The articulation and trailer steering principles go right back to the luggage carts used in Victorian railway stations. It's a brilliantly simple mechanical linkage.

great video, love those tractors.

Some real pro drivers unlike many steering wheel holders driving for big companies here in the US. A lot of the drivers here (I’m not saying all) can barely handle 1 trailer. Look how careful these drivers are!

There is nothing quite like passing a three trailer road train on the way to or from Darwin when he/she is moving at 90+ kms / hour and you are on the speed limit of 130Km/hr or a bit above it on the wrong side of the road and hoping there are no dips in the road which could hide a car coming towards you at 120-140 kmd/hr. Really makes your day. Scariest thing on the road is watching a 120 tonne road train doing their normal 90 kms/hr and passing a car and caravan doing 75/80 kms hour in a130km/hr speed zone. Great time to sit back a watch for everything to go pair shaped

I know they'd be in a/c, but a lot of these drivers are driving in primarily, two weather patterns, the dry season & the wet season - heat that is beyond comprehension (OZ had to add new colors to their heat depth chart re temperatures approx 5yrs ago). I went to the Outback for a few months & I have never ever experienced such hot weather as I experienced there
