Driving Roadtrains

My brother's son came on a 11,000 km round trip in my Kenworth from Perth WA to Melbourne VIC to Karratha WA & back to Perth.
Here's some of what we saw, including overtaking and being overtaken by triple roadtrains, and some wide loads.

@gm16v149 it was a western star you can tell be the sleeper and bonnet

[gm16v149]

@AussieBoy4Life111 Actually yeah. It says Western Star on the bonnet if you freeze it. Most of Mitchell's are KWs on that particular run so I automatically thought it was a KW.

No way you could pull this type of trailers in Ky. U SA. This is flat land stuff. You couldn't keep drive shafts, tran., or rear ends in the hills we have.

@kennethrobinson11231 We do have some 7 - 11% grades but nothing like the Rockies.

West coast is the only place that these things would struggle, from the midwest to the east coast, not a problem
