A road train is a trucking concept used in remote areas of Argentina,
Australia, Mexico, the United States and Canada to move freight
efficiently. The term 'road train' is most often used in Australia. In
the U.S. and Canada the terms 'triples,' 'turnpike doubles' and 'Rocky
Mountain doubles' are commonly used for longer combination vehicles. A
road train consists of a relatively conventional tractor unit, but
instead of pulling one trailer or semi-trailer, a road train pulls two
or more of them.
Here are pictures of some huge off-highway
road trains.
