The way you said "G'day, how's it going?" at the start of the video, was the most natural sounding from an American that I've ever heard in my life. Kudos brother 👏

[@reconnaissance7372]

I hear that and totally vouch for this haha

[@xTankiee]

Yeah it took me for a spin when I heard it ahaha

[@siryogiwan]

My dad's dad, drove logging trucks and later moved houses (I helped ready a house once, which was interesting), you'd probably freak at seeing how narrow and hairy the dirt roads are the log trucks fly along, you'd love watching I reckon

[@siryogiwan]

my guess is they would have a bay that lowers the bed height, so they can load them, but that's only because I can't imagine the crane big enough to lift those lol

[@chriswilliams2175]

Hydraulics, air bags just raise or lower then just reserve trailers under them

[@siryogiwan]

My Home state Ian. They load them on the trailer with the inner set of wheels, those ramps have hydraulic rams. These haulpacks are nearly all Autonomous (driverless) now.

[@steveheywood9428]

I'm from Melbourne, Victoria and I'm in awe at the size of those loads, which are ginormous !! The drivers of those trucks would be the crème de la crème of drivers of anything. 🤪🤗👍

[@raymondhardy8468]

The video of the trucks at the beginning is the outskirts of Perth. The part of the video is steep its called Bindoon Hill its the highest hill of the Darling Range. This area I know the back of my hand lived there from a infant until my early 30s before moving south too Busselton. You need in that look into the southwest Busselton / Margaret River region . Gods Country

[@paulocarvalho6480]

These drivers have to know each other and their own trucks very well to achieve such precision. Even if they're not in radio contact every second of the journey, their coordination is amazing. Huge risk, yes, because anything can go wrong, the satisfaction of a good job done has to be enormous.

[@stephenbrown5921]

First time I came across one of these monsters was up near Newman in Western Australia, it was travelling at about 40km/h, and using the entire road from white post to white post and I had the privilege of joining everyone else in going about 20 metres off the road into the scrub to get past him. Luckily it was an open and smooth area so not to stressful on the old Commodore wagon.

[@bok1080]

Recognised Bindoon hill as soon as it popped up (Bindoon that hill many times), it is a long hard pull for the trucks, it goes up about 100m (~330ft) in 6km (`~4mi), and can be 'fun' coming down the other direction.....

[@Seksea01]

Hey! Watched every single one of your Australian content videos - and even AS an Australian, your enthusiasm us contagious 😊 It's great to see/hear an American that isn't belittling Australia and its "oddities". Now all we need is for some savvy Australian company to bring you and your family out here to see everything first hand! 😅 (Tax write-off for them as advertising! 😁)

[@matth4638]

This is where I drive my own roadtrain. Perth to anywhere north of there. But only 2 trailers. It's always good to get out of the city!

[@lewisgoodridge1308]

An Addendum to my last comment. The trailers have the ability to spread. Some are capable of spreading from approx 8 feet to sixteen feet. This allows them to bedriven towed or pushed up the ramps and onto the trailer. I noticed that the first rig with the pusher prime mover was a CABOVER Centurion Transport rig. An old friend who should have retired years ago drives either that rig or it's mate. Those Centurion rigs for heavy haulage "BELONG TO THE DRIVER". Nobody else drives those rigs unlees the regular driver is unavailable long term. on the return trip unless they are bringing a load back to Perth, the trailers are narrowed up to fit in one lane, and partially dismantled with the commnts loaded on to the flat top.

[@cydery]

you know its working when you can see the engine torque twist the truck chassis, Check the front bumper height right to left😁

[@rossawood5075]

You can imagine what these transmission temperatures are rising to on the hills, there are often separate dual snorkles behind the truck cab to aid gearbox cooling.

[@frankmorris2603]

Muchea pronounced Mew shay. Township just north of Perth.

[@bar-d1423]

The truck in the other direction that has pulled off the road has been communicated with by radio by the outlier utes and warned to move over. So have any cars that have CB radio.

[@jasond3918]

Got stuck behind a couple of these going up to Bindoon Bakery a couple of weeks ago. Extremely big machinery! Can’t imagine the cost for the transport including the pilots and other escorts.

I used to operate the CAT 793F at Solomon Mine (FMG) in Western Australia. A rough truck to operate. I preferred the Komatsu Electrics. Very smooth. A CAT 793C was more comfortable to drive than the 793F.

[@todthyne1656]

That hill is called bindoon hill , it’s only about 80km out of Perth , those loads came directly out of Perth , straight from the metro area

[@JoeHupp]

My guess for where this was filmed is Coolgardie, Western Australia - that road train assembly area is where road trains are broken up into single trailer combinations for the run into Perth

[@siryogiwan]

As an European, one of the coolest things i've gotten to do in Australia was backseating a truck driver of a road train that was transporting our stuff. Tough job, but the country is very pretty and the blokes are really nice.

[@eamonquinn70]

You wanna have a look at some of the side tipping road trains used for mineral resources transport. The company I work for produces 3-5 combinations costing of either 3 and 4 trailers per set with 2 or 3 dollys each respectively and we've even done a few 5 trailer/4 Dolly combinations

Howdyyawl from the land down under. Blood Oath mate. Some of these big trucks are 1200 hp. The emgines are almost as big as a small sv.21 speed boxes. Able to drag 200 metric tonnes. A lot of respect goes to the drivets of these rigs. Keeping it real 😊

Road train assembly areas - sometimes drivers shed a carriage and pick it up on the way back, and this is where they do that.

[@seasonedpotato8214]

There's a tv show you would love its called outback truckers

[@vinsgraphics]

My Dad drove trucks most of his life, in Western Australia and Queensland. Everything from little Isuzu mail trucks to road trains. He worked for McAleese Transport out of Mackay for a while before retirement. I’d go along when I wasn’t stuck in boarding school. During a drought it was typical to ship molasses out to cattle stations; cattle would be fed molasses with their feed to basically keep them alive. We drove a shipment from Mackay to Alpha, about 500km. He was assigned one of the oldest trucks in the fleet, an old Mack. Coming through the Drummond Range before Alpha, the truck was struggling with the weight, especially with the molasses shifting to the back. At one point Dad wasn’t confident the truck would make it, told me to open my door, and if he said JUMP! I was to abandon ship. Several minutes on the edge of my seat, literally. The truck made it over, barely. He wasn’t happy with the company assigning that load to the old girl. They did that crap to him all the time.

[@leandabee]

[@mosman1774]

Something you may not have picked up on is. That in all of those clips all of the trailes are revered to a "flouts". And have 8 tires per axel. Unlike a normal truck that has 4 tires per axel. So say a "flout" with 6 axels means that it has 48 tires. Also just about all of those clips have what to you lookes like a small mini trailer between the "primemover" and the "flout". This is called a "loadshear" it also is on rows of 8 tires thay only come as two axel and what the "loadshear" dose is to help distribute the whate frome the front of the "flout" so thers more of the whate being distirbuted greater to the ground across 16 tires with the loadshear. Apoused to the "primemover" that has 8 tires. Unless it is tri dtive than it is 12 tires.

A few years ago, i was doing some caravan repairs for a male person. He claimed to be a N.S.W. detective. It transpired later he was in our locality to identify certain persons of interest to the local constables. We were chatting and a dump truck transport passed through. H said Western Australia was certifiable because there was Pilot in front then a ??? Police Escort Vehicle driven usually by a retired Police Officer Ex Military etc. and tailed by a secondPilot Vehicle. In NSW, there would hve bee upto six Rod Traffic Police Vehicles. One way out front checking to make sure there was no obstructions one behind the front Pilot , Two ensuring the road was kept clear usually driving wrong way along side the low loader unit , one between the load and the rear Pilot and one behind the rear Pilot as a chase vehicle. In W.A. now it is as you see it Front Pilot, Rear Pilot who carries out road blockages, lane blockages etc and they incuding the low loader have more cammeras than a Hollywood film set. The Pilots are trained and have legal powers to control traffic etc and if you don't follow their directions, you will be stopped down the road and charged. they are able to transmit the camera footage in almost real time.

Thats just the norm in Western Australia, massive trucks and even bigger loads, alot of those loads would travel 1000km or more to get to where there going.

I'm pretty sure those massive dump trucks are called "Haul Packs" or "Haul trucks" in Australia 🙃

[@optimusmaximus9646]

Good guess about the location, Ian, although the Haulpaks (minus the trays) are a giveaway. The prime movers could be headed anywhere but if they heading for the North West, then they have a long way to go, judging by the road sign. The Muchea (pronounced Mewshay) sign indicates they have just left Perth and passing through the Avon Valley. Bindoon, which is mentioned in the video, use to have an annual rock festival in the 1980s and 1990s, featuring all the old greats of Australian rock'n'roll, including Jimmy Barnes with the odd guest muso (musician). Even Meat Loaf played there once.

Your 18 wheelers look like toys to Aussie trucks. Generally our single trucks are 22 wheelers. Road trains are outer this world. I don't believe other countries haul as many heavy loads as Australia. It is because of our size & minimal infrastructure. Keep up the interesting vids.

[@chrisbraid2907]

These probably aren't the Biggest Haul trucks as They are being hauled with Tyres on. On the Great Eastern Highway in W.A. they haul the tyres and the trays on separate Trailers. The procedure to pass them is to make sure that the highway is clear for the next couple of miles, pullout and pass accelerating to 120 km/h 80 mph and pulling in when clear of the convoy . The traffic police might not like it but it's actually the safest way and the Truckers appreciate when you pass quickly and safely ... They have a heavy load to look after and I only pass when the way is absolutely clear. We've lost too many lovely people on that 600km 360mile stretch of highway ....

[@utha2665]

You're right, I think they are the Komatsu 830E's, ~240t payload, the 930E's would be way too wide with wheels on, they have a capacity of ~320t.
