Now they truly define a “road-train”. Six trailers plus the triple drive-axle truck pulling it.
These are actually known as a “power-train” here because the third trailer from the back is powered. It’s got it’s own engine and transmission that is controlled as a slave from the truck. 1000hp+ combined.
They’re only used on a few pre-approved routes on very much outback highways.

Truly a large load! I wonder how many tons per load?

Efficient way of minimizing fuel consumption.

Good luck backing that up! With all those A-trains it’d be nigh impossible.

Must be very flat terrain because it’s “just” three B-doubles connected together with triple axle dollies. No power-trailer.
