I’ve been a truck driver for the last 35 years in the States and this is on my bucket list of things to do. I would drive for free for a few weeks over there if someone would let me. The life experience would be pay enough.
@@TATS_Europe it varies by state. Normally 53’ on single trailer length East of the Mississippi River and 61’ west of it. Doubles and triples are considerably longer. Tractor wheelbases can vary, the one I own has a 305” wheelbase, so I’m usually right around 80 feet long.
ill never forget seeing my first road train. i was 18 and on a bus going through berrimah in darwin. a shell train came round the corner at the lights and it just kept on coming, i could not believe it, it was great.
Growing up in Darwin, you would see these every day although the quads are relatively recent addition. Traditionally 3 x 40ft trailers + space between + pulling truck ~ 160ft. On a bicycle it was possible to slipstream at 70 or 80kmh - not always the safest thing to do! Before the tank farm was moved from central Darwin the road tankers would pull out in the morning along McMinn St and turn right on to the Daly St bridge - of course the lights were never long enough as it was an uphill climb and turn. And of course BVR applied to all other traffic (Big Vehicle Rule 🤣) I got my car licence at 16 through student driver education and started my apprenticeship with the local Cat dealer just before I was 17. Later that year the company got us to do our truck licence test - 1 day try on a 5t rigid Bedford (6 cylinder, 4 or 5 speed gearbox) and then the test a week later on the same truck. Drive from MVR (which was 100 metres from the workshop) into town, past Woolies and back to MVR. The the tester asked how old I was, I was 17 but had had my licence for more than 12 months. He said you have to be 18 to get a truck licence. Then he said it's only a few months and you're off P-plates. So there I was, 17 years old and legally I could drive a road train. In 1980 a truck licence meant ANY truck! In fact I've only driven a semi a couple of times, the main reason for the licence was to drive graders, loaders, and scrapers on the road.
WOW. Thanks for sharing your story. The bicycle part was fun. LOL. 17 years old and drive a road train? Thank you for your comment, i appreciate it. Have a nice day 😊
Did you? The road trains are so cool. Im going to Alice Springs this January, gonna make road train videos in 4k. Do you know where i can find road trains in Western Australia? Thanks for sharing your story mate.
When approaching many suburban road junctions in Australia you'll find two identically synchronized sets of traffic lights, one a few hundred meters before the other at the junction. The first is for the benefit of road train drivers to allow them stopping distance when necessary.
Road trains are so unique. We do not have those here in the US. It's common to see 2 trailers. Wow, in your county, road trains can have 4 trailers, that long. Thanks for the video. Greeting from the US.
L’Ausralie est immense et magnifique. Les ensembles articulés sont à son image. Supers chauffeurs qui m’épatent surtout lors de l’accrochage de semi-remorques. Bravo à vous.

Yes. They are great. Did you know im going back to Australia in February. More road trains in February on the vchannel 😊 Thank tou so much for tour nice comment 😊
Keep in mind all these Kenworths and Mack’s are manufactured here in Australia to Australian specifications and Kenworth Australia for instance builds them uniquely for Conditions in Australia with a lot of Aussie content and are much stronger and durable than their cousins built in the US which anybody looking at this video the reasons are obvious, there is no where else in the world where you will find road going trucks like there is in Australia and this country is the leader in heavy transport and all its associated designs with trailers and infrastructure, it’s taken many decades from early motoring to get to this advanced stage and innovations will keep happening and as you can see Electric vehicles won’t be replacing transport like this anytime soon if at all! Australia is a country nearly the size of the USA and the majority of its poulation is in capital cities mostly on the Eastern seaboard and One on the Westen seaboard, Perth, and Bugger all really in between so Rail transport is a big thing between eastern Australia and Western Australia but that is thousands of kilometres of one line and this is shy it is uneconomic for rail to be everywhere as it’s just not an option and this is why we have these professionally operated road trains in our vast land
Lindo vídeo. No Brasil a topografia é bem diferente, quase não temos planícies, somente no sul do país, assim, nossos caminhões são muito fortes para aguentar subidas, as estradas carecem de manutenção e modernização, temos muitas curvas, o que impede caminhões com carrocerias extensas, meu falecido irmão foi motorista, dirigia uma carreta SCÂNIA, com capacidade de carga de 30 toneladas.

WOW. Thanks for sharing your story, i love it. Sad your brother does not drive anymore. Scania is the best truck 😊 Thanks for your comment, i appreciate it. Have a nice day 😊
There is a video on TH-cam of a driver backing a triple trailer road train into a space between two other road trains. He's backing up through a 90 degree turn as well, so yes, can definitely be done.
You Aussie beauty’s.. crikey me dingoes 🦘!!! Some serious driving there fellas 🙏🏻 the muppets here in Canada thinking they doing a skilled job driving a single trailer in ice need to wake up 😂 this is real skilled driving 👍🏻
You wont see these in Canada, its too dangerous to have that much weight in winter behind a single truck, and also there being mountains and large hills. Australia is a perfect place for these road trains, flat land and its dry warm weather all year around.
The north of Australia is in the wet tropics so is actually very wet for 5-6 months of the year. So being bogged and stranded in remote locations is pretty commonplace.
@@TomasVarg with language tool madness 3 or 4 trailers .. live in austria there is only 1 trailer such nice trucks in australia thank you very much for the video

Are these roadtrains diesel-electric, are some wheels of every trailer also driven? Or is there only a single tractor and the others are just pulled by the tractor and move passively along?
No electric, only diesel. The trailers are not driven, they are pulled by the tractor/semi truck. Thanks for your comment, i appreciate it 😊 Have a nice day 😊
Amazing stuff. This should be named "Road Train Switching At Tha Road Train Yard" or something. Cause that's what it is. Coincidentally, it's also both something I always wondered about how they'd do that, and also there's no content named like that. If you make a new cut, upload them again or something, use those terms, and make the 'switching' as tumb, nice teaser, you'll accumulate traffic for sure. If you do that, fat chance you'll be suggested to a lot of trainfolk cause of the keywords. And they'll watch it. There's tons of rail related footage to be found, about the switching and all of that, but a minescule fraction of it's equivalent. Actually just one, this one... (Not unlikely there's at least some of it, but not in name) Thanx for riding with my train-of-thoughts. We'll hope you'll have a pleasant continuation of your journey
Good question. On theese trucks, there is something called jake break: The Jacobs Engine Brake® (also known as the "Jake Brake®") is a diesel engine retarder that uses the engine to aid in slowing and controlling the vehicle. When activated, the engine brake alters the operation of the engine's exhaust valves so that the engine works as a power-absorbing air compressor.
Hallo Leute,mich würden einige Fragen interessieren.Wieviel PS haben diese Trucks?mit wieviel Tonnen Gesamtgewicht wird gefahren? können diese "Straßenzüge"mit dem normalen Lkw -Führerschein gefahren werden?wird Luft und Strom ausschließlich vom Motorwagen erzeugt?ich würde mich über eine Antwort sehr freuen.Danke.
The weight is around 175-190 metric tonne. The horse powers is around 600 bhp. That is all i know. Thanks for asking, i appreciate it. Have a nice day 😊
The Prime Mover (the truck itself) are all rated to a maximum GCM (Gross Combination Mass) and are designed with heavy duty air and electrical systems. You need an MC licence Combination )Combination
@@galacticambitions1277 Yes. They reverse. If you check this video, you see the skills: th-cam.com/video/1MBRtSr2jHI/w-d-xo.html Thank you for the comment, i appreciate it. Have a nice day 😊
175, 190 tonnes? Quelle est la consommation d'un ensemble de ce poids? Il faut prévoir de quoi s'arrrter en cas de freinage? Bravo les gars et bon courage. Amicalement. de, la France;
Braking and stopping is much the same as 1 trailer, the physics dont change each trailer has enough braking capacity to stop in required distance, the only issue is that brake timing is correct so that either all trailers start breaking at same time or start from rear trailer first then progress forward by no more than 3 sec delay but most modern trucks and trailers have ABS braking as mandatory as well
So if you have three or four of these road trains travelling behind each other, how on earth do you overtake them in your car? You’d need a couple of kilometres of open road to see a safe gap, and then you would have to gun it up to 150-160 kilometres per hour to get past them! Are there laws around how close they’re allowed to follow each other?
Hallo und aus Deutschland einen schönen guten Abend oder auch Morgen gewünscht. Bei uns in Deutschland ist es grad mal 17.35 Uhrzeit. Ich schaue mir grad dieses Video an 👍😉,da ich auch mal Lkw Fahrer war im internationalen Kühlverkehr. Leider ist mir ein kleiner Stroke Unit am 29.12.2016 dazwischen gekommen und darf leider nicht mehr fahren. Was mich allerdings neugierig macht, sind eure Long Trains Truck. Es gibt doch bestimmt Deutsche Fahrer die in Australien fahren. Da hätte ich eine Frage. Wenn ich mir vorstellen könnte, eine kleine private Reportage zu machen, bräuchte ich bestimmt eine Arbeitserlaubnis ? Für mich ist dieses Ziel unerreichbar zwecks finanziellen Mittel, es sei denn, ein Millionär bezahlt mir meinen Spaß, mit Hin und Rückflug.
Did you know that some *road trains* weight more that the Sydney trains? They weigh up to 99 metric tonnes, where as mentioned road train can weigh up 200 metric tonnes or more! An they have air pressure system to release (disengage) the brakes! Who do people think that trains use air pressure to release the brakes? Even a truck can weigh between 6 metric tonnes to 20 metric tonnes!
@@TomasVarg I lived in the Perth Hills. Great Eastern Highway. I guess just about any main outer arterial road, North, South or East. If you wanna spot some I’d say contact a Trucking company or Mining company maybe?
Things like A triples are only allowed on certain public roads such as the Stuart Highway and not into cities. At the end of their permitted roads they're reconfigured to semi trailers and B doubles which also are only allowed on certain roads. Google 'where are road trains allowed in Australia'

@@TATS_Europe it varies by state. Normally 53’ on single trailer length East of the Mississippi River and 61’ west of it. Doubles and triples are considerably longer. Tractor wheelbases can vary, the one I own has a 305” wheelbase, so I’m usually right around 80 feet long.

Главное на таком не заехать в тупиковый проезд. Сколько по времени он утром воздух качает?
That is a good question. I must take for ever 😂
Vidio yg luar biasa.. saya sangat menyukainya...
Thank you so much, i really do appreciate it. Have a nice day 😊
Imagine reversing one of them trucks
Haha. Yes. Horrible. Thanks for your comment, i appreciate it 😊
How do you brake these things without catching fire on the brakes ??
Good question. On theese trucks, there is something called jake break:
The Jacobs Engine Brake® (also known as the "Jake Brake®") is a diesel engine retarder that uses the engine to aid in slowing and controlling the vehicle. When activated, the engine brake alters the operation of the engine's exhaust valves so that the engine works as a power-absorbing air compressor.
'ya, let me get 20 gallons of diesel and can you check my tires? 😎
Haha. LOL 😂
Hallo Leute,mich würden einige Fragen interessieren.Wieviel PS haben diese Trucks?mit wieviel Tonnen Gesamtgewicht wird gefahren? können diese "Straßenzüge"mit dem normalen Lkw -Führerschein gefahren werden?wird Luft und Strom ausschließlich vom Motorwagen erzeugt?ich würde mich über eine Antwort sehr freuen.Danke.
The weight is around 175-190 metric tonne. The horse powers is around 600 bhp. That is all i know. Thanks for asking, i appreciate it. Have a nice day 😊
@@TomasVarg Danke für deine Auskunft
The Prime Mover (the truck itself) are all rated to a maximum GCM (Gross Combination Mass) and are designed with heavy duty air and electrical systems. You need an MC licence Combination )Combination
Cool road trains
Yeah. Thanks for your comment, i appreciate it 😊
Do people ever need to reverse these or are runs organised so that reversing is never needed? Can you ever even reverse one and control the reverse?
@@galacticambitions1277
Yes. They reverse. If you check this video, you see the skills:

Thank you for the comment, i appreciate it. Have a nice day 😊
I just watched. It was very interesting and impressive, thank you. Have a great day too!
je n'imagine même pas ces convois en France☹
No, thoose trucks are huge. Thanks for your comment, i appreciate it. Have a nice day 😊
Интересно, какой расход топлива у них?)))
Good question 😊 I wonder that myself 😊
@@TomasVarg
It's around 1.5km per litre or a few km per gallon.
@@lindsaybrown7357 What? 😱 Thank you for helping me with this 😊
Примерно 100 на 100. Общий объём баков 2000 литров.
The nice version of Mad Max.
Yeah. Thanks for your comment, i appreciate it. Have a nice day 😊
175, 190 tonnes? Quelle est la consommation d'un ensemble de ce poids? Il faut prévoir de quoi s'arrrter en cas de freinage? Bravo les gars et bon courage. Amicalement. de, la France;
That i dont know. Sorry. Im gonna ask in January next year, when im visiting Australia again 😊
Braking and stopping is much the same as 1 trailer, the physics dont change each trailer has enough braking capacity to stop in required distance, the only issue is that brake timing is correct so that either all trailers start breaking at same time or start from rear trailer first then progress forward by no more than 3 sec delay but most modern trucks and trailers have ABS braking as mandatory as well
Very good video
Thank you so much, i really do appreciate it. Have a nice day 😊
How do you back it into a compact spot at the shopping center?
I think they detach the trailers and bring one trailer at the time. Thanks for your comment, i appreciate it. Have a nice day 😊
thanks for the video. the most you'll see in the US are triples, but they still aren't as long as your triples. @@TomasVarg
@@gibbsm Well thank ypu for watching. US? I love USA ♥️
Wait for a Jeep to pull out and there's usually enough space

Thanks for your comment, i appreciate it 😊
So if you have three or four of these road trains travelling behind each other, how on earth do you overtake them in your car? You’d need a couple of kilometres of open road to see a safe gap, and then you would have to gun it up to 150-160 kilometres per hour to get past them! Are there laws around how close they’re allowed to follow each other?
Good question. I dont see 2 in a row. But if you do you need a fast car. 😊
we should have these in canada. the rail companies crash trains like there's no tomorrow.
They do? 😱 Yes, road trains would be great in Csnada 😊
We do have "road trains" in Canada.. Turnpike doubles are considered road trains. In some areas they pull three trailers.
Hallo und aus Deutschland einen schönen guten Abend oder auch Morgen gewünscht. Bei uns in Deutschland ist es grad mal 17.35 Uhrzeit. Ich schaue mir grad dieses Video an 👍😉,da ich auch mal Lkw Fahrer war im internationalen Kühlverkehr. Leider ist mir ein kleiner Stroke Unit am 29.12.2016 dazwischen gekommen und darf leider nicht mehr fahren. Was mich allerdings neugierig macht, sind eure Long Trains Truck. Es gibt doch bestimmt Deutsche Fahrer die in Australien fahren. Da hätte ich eine Frage. Wenn ich mir vorstellen könnte, eine kleine private Reportage zu machen, bräuchte ich bestimmt eine Arbeitserlaubnis ? Für mich ist dieses Ziel unerreichbar zwecks finanziellen Mittel, es sei denn, ein Millionär bezahlt mir meinen Spaß, mit Hin und Rückflug.
Im sorry. Cant answer your question.
ciekawe czy taka zwykła europejska Scania czy Volvo też by dały rade
Yes. I seen a Volvo and a Scania 👍🏼😊
Truck in australia is amazing
Yes. Toatally agree with you. Thanks for the comment, i really do appreciate it. Have a nice day 😊
Хотел бы я посмотреть на этих дальнобойщиков как бы они проездили на просторах матушки России на своих автопоездах.
Yeah. Thanks for your comment, i appreciate it. Have a nice day 😊
I am 30years experience in tanker driving. How can I get help in finding a job there in Australia?
That i dont know. Sorry. You need a visa, job visa. Good luck
can you reverse with 4 trailers?? is this possible to do??
I dont think so, i have ever sern someone do that. Thanks for your comment, i appreciate it 😊
Austrália tem caminhões❤❤❤
Yes 😊
เวลาถอยจะทำอย่างไรครับ
Dont know. Sorry
Road Trans So Good My Bos❤
Yes, they are amazing 😊
Вот это они технику строят. Дороги чтобы выдержать такой груз.У нас 40 тонник проедет и капец дороге.
Yoir road is a mess? So sorry 😢
Happy new year and thanks for your comment, i appreciate it 😊
Did you know that some *road trains* weight more that the Sydney trains? They weigh up to 99 metric tonnes, where as mentioned road train can weigh up 200 metric tonnes or more!
An they have air pressure system to release (disengage) the brakes!
Who do people think that trains use air pressure to release the brakes? Even a truck can weigh between 6 metric tonnes to 20 metric tonnes!
Hi and thanks for your comment. I did not know that, that is interasting. Thanks, i really do appreciate it. Have a nice day 😊
One trailer had 84 wheels on it, I would loos my mind if I seen this doing 65 mph on the 5 south in LA.
LOL. Thanks for your comment, i really do appreciate it. Have a nice one 😊
I’m in Western Australia and regularly see Double Trailers on the Freeway going 110kph or 68mph.
@@julzhunt7790 Yea no I get that they can go faster than 65 mph. The emphasis I'm trying to get across is the location, ie Interstate 5 South.
@@julzhunt7790 Where in Western Australia can I find road trains? North of Perth?
@@TomasVarg I lived in the Perth Hills. Great Eastern Highway. I guess just about any main outer arterial road, North, South or East. If you wanna spot some I’d say contact a Trucking company or Mining company maybe?
How do you adjust your brakes?
The brakes? They dont. It has brakes on every wheel. Thank you for your comment, i appreciate it. Have a nice day 😊
I‘m wondering, when these road trains arrive at their destination, how do they unload?
They uncouple/detach the trailers 😊
Things like A triples are only allowed on certain public roads such as the Stuart Highway and not into cities. At the end of their permitted roads they're reconfigured to semi trailers and B doubles which also are only allowed on certain roads. Google 'where are road trains allowed in Australia'
@@alans9806 Ah ok, thanx that was helpful 👍
Good Video 👍👍👍
Thank you. I really do appreciate it. Have a nice day 😊
