Thats not really a road train, though. B doubles and triples are for poofs!

How does it go then? It must have at least one, I'd hate to have to push it.

well how does it propel itself along then ?

it wouldn't suprise me if it were to have two or even three drive axles but what's the MAM ? and given it;s location in the world it'll run off tarmac some of the time , even if it is only when two of the beasts pass each other

Good for the driver who has less trucks clogging up roads

I agree with all your points but the above.

It's the cars that clog the roads not the trucks.

Agreed it's the mongs in cars who can't use the right lane, pull out when it's clear at a junction, wake up in the morning etc that cause the jams.

Not allowed within 100kms of the city though.

Totally impractical for deliverys over here though, try reversing with more than one trailer on. With 2 trrailers you can drop one and reverse the other one on to a bay, then unload and swap the trailers round, some of the asda morrisons tescos and sainsburys i deliver to wouldn't be happy with you dropping trailers in thier yard though.

the guys in Aus with B-Doubles can reverse them OK? all be it they don't have silly small yards to manoeuvre in though

The V8 guys trucks are something to be seen...

Second that. I have watched on numerous occassions, truckies reversing B triples into position for unloading/uncoupling at Tailem Bend (outside Adelaide) Now that is something to see.

Couldn't do it at the asda i'm thinking of as there isnt 2 trailer lengths between the bays and the fence

No chance with 2 trailers!

This is one corners we put a 45' round, there's only just room and plenty of battle scars on the wall from trailer swing!
