With regard to the Aussie road trains, I would like to know how they build their roads to hold up under these things. I’m sure they are better than ours, which, in a lot of places, isn’t saying much.
Most of the highways they transit are dirt roads, and the trucks are required to bypass any towns, or just enter the outskirts for unloading freight or taking backloadings.
They aren’t allowed anywhere near real cities, the various DMRs viewing them as a necessary evil required to support life for people in outback communities, mining camps and cattle stations and the like.
Lot of beautiful restorations today. That willies jeep gonna be a mighty cold trip.
What is the back story on the truck crushed by a boulder?
re. truck under the rock . . . . . id like to get the story behind that, looking at the picture it seems somebody said “i’m’a going’ t’town & not even God can stop me . . . !” in which God smiles & says hay y’all; watch this. 🙂
I looked up the dairy truck and found this interesting story:
Today I saw a 1967 lifted 4×4 dually in great shape and in original baby blue paint.. The only thing on the flat bed was a fuel tank with fuel nozzle. Definitely a farm truck. The driver was a comely lass.
