    4000 kms but you have to drop one trailer in Dubbo and run the final 400 kms as singles.

    You can't run a 2 trailer roadtrain into Sydney, or other state capitals like Melbourne or Brisbane. The other state capitals like Perth, Adelaide and Darwin you can, in fact in Darwin you can run 53.5 meter (175') triples which is quite a sight to see with them going through the industrial suburbs.

    It's a white knuckle drive the first time you do it. Lots of steep grades and tight corners on 2 lane roads with plenty of traffic. It takes a few trips to learn where to go slow or let it run off a hill. I don't go on that road often enough to know every bend. It's worse at night in winter with fog and rain and fast local trucks that know every inch of the way up your ###.
     
    tsavory and albert l Thank this.

    It's about 200 kms from Moama to where we load in Melbourne. It's only legal to run a roadtrain to Moama in NSW just over the river from Echuca, Vic. No roadtrains allowed in Victoria. Longest dog run I do is from Portland Vic to Adelaide which is 550 kms.
     
    Pipe 40 Thanks this.

    Sure that's 2"? I thought it would be 3 1/2". Looks like a HHA truck.
