   Yeah, the largest ones take about 5km to get up to speed and guess what? they take about 5km to slow down as well a number of vehicles get squashed by them each year unfortunately, nothing the driver can really do!

   I guess the extreme heat, sharks, snakes, and killer spiders were getting boring? Friggin Australians had to come up with a new way to risk their lives?

   I hope they pay the drivers well!

   Do they not have steam engine technology over there yet? A locomotive could probably handle that load and then some.

   i am married to a truckie, endless mates r truckies and never had a fear…….till last thursday 20/12/06. a truck only 1 trailer smaller then this carrying diesel hit the back of my pajero spun me and hit the front, thankfully all 6 of my kids and myself and husband walked away. the idot driver was doing bout 120 and didnt leave enough room to overtake. thank god for my pajero (old 89 model) i have no doubt that any other vehicle would have killed us. these trucks should be off the road keep it to 2 trailers.

   I like the bull bar on the front. How far do you think you could launch a roo with one of those traveling at speed?
