Roadtrains Australia Promo Clip

because we're to stupid and short sighted to make out own, and we're like that because our fantastic government wouldn't want it any other way we are the 51st state of america and we worship our motherland. other than that, americans make good trucks!

i was wondering why Australia don't have their own truck company

wow. nice trucks

turbo wastegate? I know my truck makes a similar sound when the wastegate lets go. But I don't know for sure. I'm not an expert on turboing (yet).

Hey mate,

No idea mate.... i hear that sound also - like released air - but it seems to make the same sound upshifting...

One of my trucks is a Kenworth T908, with a fully manual Road Ranger gearbox - i'm not a big fan of these autoshift gearboxes - their okay but i prefer to be in control...
I do the same than you - double clutch but tap the gas in neutral - makes the whole gear changing much smoother and it helps mesh the gears...

Regards from Down Under...

COOL Vid...

I do contracting for Mitchell Transport - and i love driving those Super Quads on Hells Highway - what a coincidence!!! I love the scenery and the fact that its so remote.... one of my favourite 'runs'...

Keep truckin,

James

James

Cool!
i think it is very hard to drive these trucks :)
Can you give me link to gallery where I can see more of these rides?
I like them :D

The Road Trains can drive on practically any any normal road.... we do need to take of a trailer or two to go into cities - but trucks are just about allowed anywhere...

Yeah - Kenworth, Western Star and Mack are the top trucks here in Australia...

James

hmmmm......Kw it is Kenworth....didn't know it.....but where in Australia was built rail-roads?
P.S:sorry for my bad english

F**k off australian kenworth kick ass and even american kenworths kick pete's ass and australia the best cuntry i da world

That down shifting at about 15 min, how is he down shifting, because I always double clutch while tapping the gas in neutral, but here I hear air being released, how is what he is doing done?

We have them running constantly between Geelong and Broadmeadows and have for a long time now. Aren't they trailing B-Triples between Sydney and Brisbane? I vaguely remember both SCT and Linfox pushing for them a while ago. Can only imagine the nightmare the Newell Highway would be with B-Triples.

Ride a motorbike and get over taken by a Ford B-Triple. It's utterly terrifying.

Nah... Us truckies in Australia drive better and bigger trucks than America....

They are originaly American trucks but are altered to suit Aussie conditions...
