Great reporting. I think the Simon carrier could provide American trucks (Kenworth, Peterbilt) with large cabs for drivers. From Brazil, I wish you all health, happiness and achievements!

[@AHMADSYD1]

Brazil is also big country like Australia. You have to go long ways.

[@heijxje]

That would make the third trailer not possible anymore, as it would go over 53,5 meter total length which is not allowed. Not economically feasible. Besides, American trucks are not suited for Aussie road and climate conditions. Aussie trucks are.

[@maximecaron1969]

@@heijxje That was an European truck my dude (volvo). American truck are well suited for australia in fact they have Kenworth, Mack etc. they also have isuzu, fuso & Hino from Japan. They have everything but Australian truck because it doesn't exist.

Three semi trailers? That's unreal. The maximum in the US is two half trailers. I'm not a trucker, just a normal guy, but never in my life have I seen two semi-trailers hitched together, never mind three.

[@Czecher86]

dont have trains here yet ?

[@mandech_football]

i curious on how you reverse that behemoth

[@hlodovicchorikratos8853]

One trailer at a time is probably faster than trying with all trailers at once. Also, reversing is only necessary in the yard, when loading/unloading trailers. Rest of the time they hardly ever reverse. Mind you, there are videos of B-double road trains reversing on youtube. Mighty impressive.

[@SternDrive]

You guys don't have length restrictions like we used to have in North America in the 70s. So my question is why do you still use cab over trucks. I drove those bone shakers in the 70s. I'm so glad for conventionals that we drive today. What's up with the cab overs? My other question is, why do lots of your trucks have screens on the bottom of your windshields? Keep on truckin' !

[@thadlm2698]

Those wire screens are to protect the truck windshields from stones, rocks and other debris.

[@RedEemblem]

Sir, cabovers with good suspension technology, Air ride front axle, Air ride cab and Air ride seats are far from those american cabovers you dealt with.

[@henryblanton6992]

Volvo Cabover cabs, while able to be tilted forward, are suspended on 4 coil springs or optional Air Bags. With their set back independent front axles the Volvos ride smoother than most American Large Cars. Also, the cabs of ALL the current Volvos are structurally stronger and safer than any North American Brands.

[@howardsimpson489]

The screens are to stop stray camels, kangaroos, steers coming thru the windshield. Miles of outback roads have no fences, roos just jump them anyway. Lower down you will see the roo bars to save the radiator.

[@davidbeach7187]

Why so much drama,crap happens here in Canada also. but believe me, I have respect for many drivers in so many places in this world, driver's are just doing thier jobs right. Just as some of us run the mountain's between British Columbia and Alberta, all the way to Ontario, and back to B.C in four and a half days (running two drivers). Any way, there is a road called "The Highway Of Death" in British Columbia, and if you treat it right, its just another run in park, but, if you don't it will bite your ass. I am now retired at 82 years old, and want to go back to the fun and the problems from running from Vancouver to Toronto in the winterr time, it was a challenge some times, but I loved all of those twenty plus years that I drove those roads. So you road train driver's in Austrailia, you and I know that to do the work we all are doing, it needs expierance to do it right. To one and all, run safe at all times, to you all, where ever you maybe.

[@MrAlpinekid]

53.5 meters = 175.6+ feet long. Car drivers in USofA can’t/don’t like trucks as long as they are. They surely would not like trucks that long here. What about portable parking lots?? (Car haulers)

In Europe a fraction of a percent are longnose (torpedo) prime movers, most of those are show boats. It does not make sense to waste those metres on an engine when you can use them on the trailer side. Maximum length of a truck/trailer in the EU is 18 meters, 25,5 in some areas.
