    In the heart of Outback Australia, where endless roads stretch across the rugged landscape, road trains dominate the highways like steel giants. Unlike regular trucks, these behemoths-often exceeding 50 meters in length-are the backbone of long-haul transport, tackling vast distances where trains simply can't go. But why does Australia rely on these extreme machines? In this deep dive, we explore the mechanics behind driving road trains in Australia, the skills needed to be a truck driver in Australia, and the challenges faced by those in the industry, from extreme weather to wildlife hazards. From the roaring engines of Australian super trucks to the high-stakes world of Australian truck racing, this is trucking like you’ve never seen before. Whether you're curious about truck life in Australia, dreaming of truck jobs in Australia, or wondering about truck driver pay in Australia, this video uncovers it all. Buckle up and experience the wild ride of Australian trucks, as we take you inside the world of heavy tow truckers in Australia, the legendary road trains Australia is famous for, and the brave drivers who keep the country moving!

    I would drive a road train in a minute I would love the challenge of it and over there truckers stick together like it used to be in America

      Don't forget you could be 500 miles from no where at times. Australia is just smaller than the USA by area, with 26 million population and 90 % of that is within 20 miles of the coast. Takes a special breed to do it.
      Come on over. Give it a go.

    At 1:24 you are looking at probably around 100 to 170 tonnes of high explosive 🙂 depending o the number of trailers.
    Oh, and by the way, a fully loaded road train will come to a complete stop from around 100 Km/h in its own length. 500 metres, who was pulling your tassel?
    Hitting camels or cattle will be serious, but, hitting a roo or emu wouldn't even register.
    And you didn't even show the biggest regular use road train. Look up the Centipede. There are 2 of them and the drag 6 trainers each. used to cart ore in Queensland - from memory.
    Good video though. They are over 160 feet long, carry 205 tonne, and is powered y 500 Hp engines.

      Between 95k to 105K depending on contracts on average about $50.00 AUD per hour but there are stringent laws governing limitation of driving hours, fatigue management, some truckies driving regular trucks can earn up to $150K but that again depends on contract value. It is a very competitive industry.

      @@TheYutongCaptain There's a serious shortage of drivers in the industry, I'm on over $55 bucks an hour and making 200k a year isn't that difficult.
