Damn.. In Norway we can only drive with 52tonns. I think 19m long trucks..
And that is because of all our roads...
Hahaha loooool thats nothing compared to Australia.
The first video was about, not so great, they are kind of small.
The second video was a bit better, (not trying to criticize)
Here we drive trucks that have got 4 trailers, (Not sure how long).
But i guess Australia has the, space and land to drive the long trains.

yeah, I know austrailia got the long trucks, but you guys got so many roads that are long and stright and sweden don't have this type of roads :( but we (and finland) do have the longest trucks in EU :)
Desert kind area in middle? takes long to drive it? other side needs supplies? what we going to do? lets hit up 5 trailers and some beast for truck there! I would love to see how they do unloading they probably just detach them 1 by 1 and unload.

Yup, for them it takes almost a week to drive across, Perth > Melbourne/Sydney, if its a straight run.
But sometimes they cut through the desert, make dropoffs along the way, or go around the top of Australia to make dropoffs to various places, depends on what they are hauling.
And i think for the cargo/box trailers, they unload from the side, so they can unload all the trailers at once.

They do the same with train trailers so they are unloading 1 by 1.
