I know I need experience there but just a little about me I am curently a driver here and have been for 27 years I guess my question should have been was will anyone there hire me to drive with the experience I have and let me learn what I need to from there? also do you know of a company that mite hire me?

UHF? WOW in USA its 26.965 - 27.405 Mhz thats VHF Low band. and its AM Is the UHF AM or FM? Its wired the other countries use different frequiencies. Like a radio stations in USA use like 88.1 88.3 88.5 in AU they are 88.0 88.2 88.4 ETC.
Roma is as far south on the A2 (road from Darwin to bris) south that you can tow 3 trailers and toowoomba is as far south you can tow 2 trailers in a road train config.
Nah... I was in Denilaquin today, and I must've seen 50 dual carriage road trains. You see them in Dubbo all the time, too. Maybe it's just an issue in QLD, because the road trains are all over VIC and NSW, as long as the roads can accept them.
I was refering to QLD. Warwick to Gundy and Toowoomba to Gundy are road train routes. From Gundy down Im not 100% on the rules of time and roads for road trains.
I used to live a Dulacca, 100k's from Roma. Used to see a lot of nice Road Trains up and down the Warrego. Toomoomba is as far a they're allowed to go, isn't it? They drivers used to tell me that they'd have to unhook in Toowoomba and drive to Brisbane with one trailer at a time. I guess the Toowoomba Raange is a bit Dangerous for RoadTrains. lol
No, in Australia there not allowed anywhere well populated areas, to many cars around, Ive been on the Toomoomba range and i'm surprised trucks even go up there. I've even heard police stop road trains in Mt Garnet because they destroy the road.
The only way then to move nickel from Leinster to the rail head at Leonora was via road train. White Road Boss movers, pulling three trailers each, all on 62 wheels. Top speed empty 40 mph; loaded, 20. I got to ride a few times (I was 10) and was allowed to steer once in a while. One occasion we had 3 flats. The trailers had their own hydraulic jacks built in, to lift one side of the trailer for the tire change. These are memories forever etched.
Road trains are only allowed past certan points. Like longreach is the furtherest east they can go in queensland (i think. But i think the smaller ones can go to emerald. Anywho's they wouldn't get anywhere hilly so its a non-issue.
