Not a road train, thats a B-Double, a road train would have a dolly, anyway to answer your question, yes, but not many choose to, biggest reason is that the radiator is to small to handle the heat, dont carry enough fuel, and suffer from reliability problems, and as the video points out, small bunk. not all trucks in Australia have to pull 4 trailers, most European trucks here just do supermarket runs from the distribution centre to the supermarket, also besides that, where this video is shot, road trains are probably illegal on the roads they drove on, remember both trucks are hauling B-doubles, VERY different from a road train.You take a European truck for an Australian Road Train Job?
Also a friend of mine got a job driving a truck for woolworths (a scum food retailer in Australia, i think the UK had a company with the same name but im not sure if they are related) im not sure of what route he does but if he was hauling a road train in the city center, i doubt he would get very farYou take a European truck for an Australian Road Train Job?
I mean K200 that is made for Road Train Trailers, not the Trailer type.Also a friend of mine got a job driving a truck for woolworths (a scum food retailer in Australia, i think the UK had a company with the same name but im not sure if they are related) im not sure of what route he does but if he was hauling a road train in the city center, i doubt he would get very far

K200 is an Australian Road Train Hauler, then FH16 is an European Highway Truck, could a Road Train Hauler loose on its purpose/game by a Highway Truck?Not a road train, thats a B-Double, a road train would have a dolly
This, essentially. They both have specific build designs and features. Kenworth being the dirty hauler and Volvo being the stylish city-delivery/short hauler.K200 is an Australian Road Train Hauler, then FH16 is an European Highway Truck, could a Road Train Hauler loose on its purpose/game by a Highway Truck?
No, as i said above the engine would just overheat because of the small radiator because of the weight of the roadtrain and temperature of the areas where the road trains roamK200 is an Australian Road Train Hauler, then FH16 is an European Highway Truck, could a Road Train Hauler loose on its purpose/game by a Highway Truck?
Watch Outback truckers, you probably will like it if you like ice road truckers, also all of season one and most of season 2 is on youtubeI voted Kenworth.
They've got a vast reputation for heavy haul and working in tough conditions - they're the truck of choice usually on TV Show "Ice Road Truckers". (Man I love that show :p) Furthermore I think the Kenworth is built to handle more weight than the Volvo, in EU they don't typically deal with as heavy loads as in larger countries.
I think I caught some of them - one truck "team" being that old-ish guy and his wife? I might have to watch some more if I get around to it... :pWatch Outback truckers, you probably will like it if you like ice road truckers, also all of season one and most of season 2 is on youtube

They do that with Top Gear on "Dave" here. RIP Top Gear.There's Outback Truckers on TV here, but I think it's old episodes and at this stage they've been re-run atleast a billion times on this channel (Discovery Channel - Bulgaria)
