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.

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.
