Ran into this one at Kimba (Sth Aust) last week running across to Perth
Tri-Drive T909 (yep...thats what the plate said), and around $450,000 worth of truck....good to see someones got money to burn !!!!
Apologies for the crap quality of the pics - Iphones suck as camera phones
Busy 2 weeks across the Nullabor coming up, with all the V8 Supercar transporters heading up to Barbagallo. Spent the week playing leapfrog with a few of the guys, and we'll get to do it all again next week after the races

big bucks alright. but it is good to see the RTA finally allowing this type of setup on the road, here in Brisbane they have recently allowed 2 trailer roadtrains to come down from toowoomba into the port of brisbane, its about time they realised that a roadtrain can stay within the lane on that route, and lets face it the wheel tracking of a 2 trailer roadtrain is not very diff from a b-double, so i cant work out why it took them such a long time to make the change. the allowance of quad axle trailers here is also a good thing, just wish i had the money to buy one, so i could legally carry those heavy containers. LOL

Now that's quite a moose-killer you guys have on the front end!

Tri Drive in Perth area. probably going to make an oilfield winch tractor out of it. About $155,000. Canadian dollars. I'll ship you all you like for $450,000. lol

I had a Mercedes that I was really excited about shipping there when I saw the asking prices (something close to double what it was worth here) for similar ones...
until I remembered about the right-hand drive. -

It has been quite a few years, but I ran winch tractors, although they were all tandems... mostly self-taught. I learned the importance of "hook on top" when standing up cement bins. It didn't go over the edge of the lease, but... -
I spotted some too years ago, they had a spike at the end of the skids that stuck ion the ground so you could stand it up by having your line on TOP (LOL) and backing against the skids. -
saw another one heading over on the return trip this week, so I called the guy up on UHF and asked where they were off too (The trucks). Hamptons in Kewdale he said, and so far they've delivered 12 to them - thats some big bucks there
