    I drive a 72 ton 9 axle King-B train fuel tanker here in Canada. I can't imagine pulling 170 tons...The road train drivers down under are a special breed. Hats off to you gents!

    Nothing, but the highest respect for the Australian truckdrivers.

    If any Americans are getting excited about seeing Kenworths, hate to tell you but they are Aussie made.
  • Hi from canada, being a truck mechanic for long time. The N14 in my opinion is one of the best engines ever made!
  • @steverone7623
    Australians have longer trucks but shorter shorts than anyone

    I don’t want to do Pre trip inspection on this thing , my shift would be over by the time I am done checking tires . No
  • Used to drive for BP Amoco North America before BP retired the fleet. We had a poster of this road train on the shop wall. Always wanted to drive one. On the bucket list I guess.

    Hats off to the Truckker, he's done a lot good delivering fuel so many miles away, where the rail does'nt reach.
  • @sweeptheleg.
    I'd hate to miss my turn in one of those! 😨😨
  • I am proud to say Australian , and I am a proud to say I am a Road train driver ...
  • I cannot even imagine the vastness of Australia and driving the truck train. Maybe if I was 60 years younger........

    Absolute beasts. Tough as and incredible to watch. If you ever come here to Perth and drive out of the city, use some caution and patience when passing these things though!
  • @Womba1009

    You should see the minesites. Picture four trailers, and the trucks themselves add a whole new meaning to the phrase "monster truck." The cab is the same size as a normal Kenworth, but they have earthmover-sized wheels. Their loaded weight is more like 200 tonnes
