A road train or roadtrain is a trucking concept used in remote areas of Argentina, Australia, Mexico, the United States and Canada to move freight efficiently. The term "road train" is most often used in Australia. In the U.S. and Canada the terms "triples," "Turnpike doubles" and "Rocky Mountain doubles" are commonly used for longer combination vehicles (LCVs).[1] A road train consists of a relatively conventional tractor unit, but instead of pulling one trailer or semi-trailer, the road train pulls two or more of them.
This explains why, lol.

So, do those roadtrains not turn? or is it straight forward to there destination?

JSALES 04-27-2011 04:58 PM
damn..

I've never heard of anything more than 3 trailers in Canada? It's pretty sweet nonetheless. I'd feel pretty awesome if I was doing that.

Use your common sense. How the fuck are you going to turn around/back up with that thing.

crazzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzy

xyz123 04-27-2011 05:54 PM
yeah, sorry for the stupid question. I guess I was confused because what if the roads require you to turn, but I guess there are roads designed for roadtrains to just go straight.

At least I found this while I was searching around

Im pretty sure 3 trailers are ok in Alberta. Only 2 in BC though, and that would have to be two 40' trailers no bigger

When I was living in Argentina, I came across one of them on a road trip. 120 wheeler.

I'll dig up my backups because I took a pic with it. (it was parked on the side of the road next to a service station/restaurant) The pic was on a 45' angle and you could barely see where the truck ends.

The video OP posted sounded like a Mexican accent to me. I'd assume it's in Mexico

Turning the truck is actually not too bad. The trailers are relatively short wheel base and the front wheel articulates.

Definitely Brazilian Portuguese. He even mentions that it's 130 meters long at the beginning.
