Why so many wheels on the trilers?......

[Rocketboy1950]

@corti1973 It's called spreading the load to reduce damage to the road,

Returned from Oz 11/11/11.These are great but I was very impressed with the double semi-tralers in the centre of Melbourne.

[Rocketboy1950]

@tarvey That's just your standard garden variety B double.

HOW MANY HORSE POWER HAS THIS SHIT?

[Rocketboy1950]

@GABBO845 was discussed in much earlier comments I think........a farkin lot though.

[Rocketboy1950]

@lanpetpet7 and clearly larger than your brain as well.

@Bahzad23 I'm not pissed at all but I like the comments to reflect the video content. I don't understand how you can call me queer since this conversation started with you telling us about fucking a Kangaroo and that's why I removed the comment. You are a great asset to the USA. I have been there and met some wonderful people. You obviously are not one of them and clearly one of the reasons why so much of the world despise you and you ilk, Sadly you do not get further right of reply.

@nyyguitar3387 i like when you see some massive shape coming down the straight at you with orange red and blue lights in front of it, then suddenly there is a load convoy of prime movers hooked up to it, those blokes are truly talented

[sollars1]

@Rocketboy1950 there is the occasional cheeky bugger you see though he'll straighten out then back up with a dolly or 2 because he can...i saw a bloke with an AB triple reverse around a corner of the parking bay once, it looked similar to a wilmonts, but they dont have AB do they? just trains?

@nyyguitar3387 The law is the law, no matter how obvious it looks lol. Anything over 2.5 metres wide is required by law to have "OVERSIZE" signs front and rear, even if the reaction to them is "thankyou Captain Obvious."

@mibars Firstly, the tyres on the mine dump trucks aren't designed for paved roads. Secondly they're limited to no more than 60km/h. A truck pulling one of these can get up to 80km/h, necessary because oversize loads have a dusk to dawn curfew. The bigger ones have escorts front and rear, as well as a dedicated police escort

@chadberry75 Depending on which company and what you're carrying, the money is very good. The Australian Dollar has parity with the US dollar at the moment, and you can expect a minimum of $25-$30 an hour pulling B-doubles

[Mechknight73]

@datnotfair Lack of rail in the more remote areas. Also, the landmass of the entire British Isles fits into Australia 26 times

[Mechknight73]

@tarvey Butstill only half the capacity of these monsters. In some parts of Queensland, the Northern Territory and Western Australia, they allow up to four trailers. Three as a full sized, and four in smaller configurations

look!... a kangaroo!... push the brake!.... oh, nooooooooooooooooooo!!!!

1:40 ...and I thought my tires were expensive
