I'm worried I won't get this job on a technicality

It's easy using PhotoShop.

There are five and six trailer rigs running in Oz, though. They call 'em road trains.

Google "Mack Titan" to see some pics.

 

Seen a few of them posted on here already (non-photoshopped!). Just saw one last week in some thread (don't remember which one now). 21 axles not counting the steers.

I pulled doubles a couple of times, and that was enough! I would not want to drag that many trailers behind me!

 

Here's a nice set of some Big Stuff. Remember that Down Under is the flattest continent in the world, and drawing straight lines from point-to-point is rarely a problem.

well good luck with things, heck, once I get my head around the expenses and what not in working over in the states, ill be seeing about if my MC(road train license) will be validated over there..

But enough about me ; you should do one of them youtube clips about what your doing, and when you get to ride with your mate...

 

One of the things that we used to have to do when I worked local here, was to hook up sets for the night line-haul. It isn't that they were primadonnas, it is just that we could set them up before the shop closed, so if there were mechanical problems they could be taken care of. We didn't have an open shop at oh-dark-thirty. Anyway, I always wanted to hook up one for a friend of mine, that would include every available gear and trailer. Never did it, as I liked my job to well.

Hey we all have things we need to work on. I'm working on a cup of coffee right now.

 

I've pulled one set of doubles in my career and they were very well behaved. It was kind of an odd setup, though.



I pulled it without the combine on it. Still, with the heavy steel combine trailer in the middle, it didn't wriggle at all. Tracked better than a straight trailer and was fun for me to pull. It was much easier to hook it all up than it was to slide that huge wheat head into the rear trailer.
