Is it possible to (actually) overload a semi?

IMO. Road trains can not be used in EU in winter time. No enought grip to climb hills.

Here we have 20 m lenth limit so we can use B-double with 45'+20' trailers and COE truck. Longer vehicle is oversize trucking.

As I can see on Video they use dolly axes, not b-double. Trucktors are Volvo FM and FH of '98 version and Version-II. I'm not sure, but seems to me FH16 with D16B and D16C engines. Now they should use D16G. Volvo also put ISX to FH series trucks. People say they used Cat C15 but I've never seen Version-II Volvo with Cat engine. Early Version-II were available with detroit diesel too.

About powerfull engines...

Not volvo only builds FH16 monster.

I saw looking like road trucks with cummins QSK engines.

well. it is fat trucking. The other kind of sporting

 

volvo used to put isx engines and i think even n14 but only in australia in period from 2000-2003/4 when they did not offer fh16 and fh12 500 was too weak ans small( displacement) it was called fh15 and nh15

 

I have grossed on-site 140K with my lowside.....DOT has no authority off-road......

 

A friend of mine rates the brand of tires by the ones he hasn't blown out yet.

 

That is nuts!!

 

Overload? Impossible!!!

 

Think that driver has his bus rated CDL?

 

volga look funny. Open hood, seems to me overheating.. who knows why? LOL

 

Wonder if it will be covered under warranty?

When I was driving through Zimbabwe in the mid 80's I would pass buses with more on the roof then I had on my truck.In Zambia they had these Fiat straight trucks out of the 60's I think that they would load much higher and wider then the oversive loads on lowboy trailers.
