It's nice to see a video that gives all the specs on these massive machines, in a concise and non-dramatic manner. After all, that haulage is dramatic enough as it is! :)
I'm a railroad locomotive type of guy but I must say, this is awesome. Trains are flatland creatures but it looks like these machines can handle hills just fine. Often saw three trailer cattle roadtrains going north when I lived in The Alice, but five was from a bygone era, plus they're lighter too, so nothing compared to this machine. Nicely done.
'Trailers built by Smiths of Gympie'. When I was an electrical apprentice with Noel Andrews in Gympie in 1970 we did Smiths electrical work. Their 'factory' was basically a corrugated iron roof down the side of a hill. We used to joke that if they had flat ground to build a truck body on it'd be crooked. They turned out lovely stuff, they got flooded 2 or 3 times a year and Jimmy Smith was the best bloke you'd ever hope to meet. I was working in Gunpowder about 1975 and GCL was using Smiths side tippers. Great that they've moved on and up.
This mode of coal transport was/has been used at Jellinbah mine near Blackwater for many years. The coal is run from the mine to the loadout near the highway. Dozers push it into the u/g hopper and the coal run up a conveyor over the highway to the hoppers on the rail line.
I have driven a 500hp volvo with the ishift through saskatchewan, which has similar terrain to australia and i got to say its honestly the easiest trip i have ever done. Such a lounge chair. If kenworth learned how to make a cockpit, i believe they could be some dream machines.
Never was a trucker, seen more than a few heavy hauls. 60 wheelers to haul a service rig during road bans. To now where they run tandem jeeps and a booster at the back. Trailer has three axles, and 8 wheels across. Thumbs up to any one who can back into the shop

...at truck stop : '' so, billy, where is the driver of that 5 wagon train ??'' '' don't know,.....all he said was,,,'' Can i borrow your tire pressure gauge '' ?????
@@carholic-sz3qv No it's combined power with trailer engine. Honestly, 600hp is pretty ''low'' (don't get me wrong.. It's still powerful) for a 19L engine, and the torque is not that great too. Yes European brands do better. On the other hand, the ''average'' power with a 19L could be a reliability choice (?)
To the people saying it’s not 1000hp...You ever think maybe they’re adding the truck 600 horsepower plus the pusher 400hp diesel to get to the 1000 mark? Lmao gotta love UA-cam comment sections.
Actually, it would be either 1056 or 1106hp.... he said the QSK 19 was spec'd at 606hp, and the pusher was rated at either 450 or 500hp depending on whether it was the standard ISX or the Signature version of the ISX.... which I don't understand, as the Signature version of the ISX was rated at 605hp with 2,050 ft lbs of torque, here in the states for Over The Road (OTR) trucks/Semis with the Owner Operator package from KW, Pete & Western Star.
Hi mate I'm from England and have spent ten years running out of Derbyshire limestone quarry's but I have stopped driving trucks because of automatics. I learned to drive on an EATON twinsplitter and I would love to have a stick in my left hand again so much. I'm very jealous of you guys it's all over here.
A line i liked in one of these outback vids, was they pulled up next to a drover having a siesta in the drivers seat of his bush basher ~jeep parked under a tree "Whats happening?". Big grin... "stuck in traffic."
Lol the comments from the Euro truck fanboys. You can tell they've never been to Australia. We actually do have Euro trucks over here, but Kenworth outsells them by a country mile, even though KWs are a lot more expensive. That's not to say the Euros don't try hard, but they're just not up to it for our conditions. Australia isn't Europe by a long way.
Yes, dream on... KW is first, no doubt - but outselling "by a country mile"? Your country mile looks awfully short to me. Some figures: Sales Results for the 3rd Quarter 2016HEAVY-DUTY Kenworth 1439 units - 20.7%Volvo 1125 units - 16.2% Isuzu 958 units - 13.8%Roughly 50% of all HCVs for the first three, the rest are all the others. Around 7000 Units per 3rd Quarter, or 28.000 Units per year. Nice. You laugh at the Euro truck fanboys? You know, this looks to me like the whistling of the little boy in the dark woods at night.......But, lets talk about figures. 28.000 Units for Autralia a year? Look, in Germany alone are the sales of HCVs in 2014 around 80.000. Trucksales in the EU are around 300.000 for 2014. India built around 230.000 Units the same year, and China produced a whopping 1.000.000 Units that year.....You know the biggest truck producers worldwide? Not Kenworth obviously, nor their mother company PACCAR - it is Daimler-Benz and Volkswagen........ :D The thing is: The australian HCV-market is so tiny that nobody of the big ones really is interested....
Pearly Humbucker Your figures might be right mate, but those sales figure include all those little fiddly euro rigid trucks as well and Isuzu haven't even got a single primemover that can do the interstate work here and last 4-5 months. Yes volvo is selling trucks but its only those small units for single trailer local operation to suit tight inner cities. Interstate there are few but no where near Kenworths. Also this video is regarding Australia so lets just keep it to Australian market as I'm pretty sure none of all those units sold in Germany would be able to pull even a smallest double road-train across outback highways let alone lasting a whole year. So application wise, Volvos are no where near Kenworths. Smallest road-train, that is double train hauls about 90 tonnes. So hopefully it clears the fact
@romy dhaliwal: You know what? My numbers are right, I got them from an australian OwnerDriver-Site. I did talk the australian market the whole time, it is honestly somewhat tiny, so nobody of the big ones does care about. I can clearly state that you are clueless in so many aspects - there is no help to this. Sorry. I thought I should look up if Volvos pull roadtrains or if they dont, and came across a video - it was the first video in the list - that really did surprise me in many ways: 1) its a volvo AND 2) Its a mine train AND 3) it is rated 175 to AND 4) has four trailers AND 5) the Driver is a woman. I see, there is hope for the aussies..... Man, take a look outside of your box and see whats happening in the world. You think, kangorooland has the biggest? The longest maybe? No. Go to South America. You think, outback transport with roadtrains can only be done by aussies? Again, go to South America. I know driving the outback in a roadtrain is heaviest work - and I wouldnt like to do it. But it gets really bad in the wet season. Go to South America and learn how to drive roadtrains in the wet season!"..... :D :D
+Pearly Humbucker Lol you're as clueless. First of all Australia is not a small tiny market, you're here commenting on Australian videos is proof of that. Name me one country except USA and we probably are bigger market than them. Now you don't call 300 bhp small trucks real trucks Do ya lol. Them cunts are rigids. Down here a truck is when it's hauling few trailers. Compare to wherever you from we are still pretty big. Also if we had to break all those trains and doubles up and use one prime mover for one trailer we would run out of space to park all those trucks lol, that being 6th largest nation on earth. That would be pretty big market for you now wouldn't it be. Also we don't care about South America, it's a continent not a country. We got worlds biggest trucks to worry about. So sorry no room for little euro boxes. End of story: down here Euro trucks suck and kenworths shit on 'em all day long.
Where is the relation between me commenting and australia being a small market? 6th biggest nation on earth? In what? Telling phantastic stories about having the biggest, longest, greatest? Or landmass? Or - maybe - deserted landmass? Or population by kangoroos and dingoes? *lol* Look, I give you the right numbers and set you some relations to reality: Australia is the biggest country of the world and the smallest continent. On this big landmass are living around 23.000.000 people - slightly more than in Peking, und two-third of the population of the whole town Chongqing - or 25% of the population of Germany. You wont name this a big market, wont you? >> "down here Euro trucks suck and kenworths shit on 'em all day long." Ok, I dont have anything against it. A handful Kennies shit on some Euro-Trucks. In the same time the truck manufacturers of these on-shitten Euro-trucks sell tausends of trucks elsewhere in the world - and that gets money in their pocket. That counts..... Look, you dont understand, dont you? The big players dont make enough money in australia. Aussies love to tow several trailers - but not in fear of "running out of parking space" - that is bullshit. The australian desert is big enough for parking of 10thousands of trucks if needed. Its really simple: They cant afford having many trucks towing less trailers - and paying the drivers. They need to tow several trailers, otherwise it doesnt pay to transport masses of goods on dirty roads with these huge costs of operation and maintenance..... Bying and operating a truck in australia doesnt have much to do with national pride or having the Biggest or the Longest. It is all about money. Maybe if you try to educate yourself what the meaning is of Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) or Return Of Investment (ROI), you may anderstand....... By the way: "Having the longest" is a title that does not belong to the aussies, it belongs to the colombian and brasilian sugar cane truckers that are towing ~ five ladden trailers or 10 to 15 trailers empty through their country....... And they use the trucks they can get, they can afford, they can pay for....
It’s interesting to read the comments on this Unit from people that you can tell haven’t got a clue and don’t understand the uniqueness of this set up, I operate these Roadtrains our units pull 3 trailers with 300tnn of product and they are an absolute work horse in their field, To work the 18 speed to sync with the Auto on the power trailer on a climb out the pits is something to experience, I have seen a few that didn’t get it right and than it gets exciting with a big mess of twisted Metal and a big job for someone to clean up.
Truck trailer tires run forever though. Like, hundreds of thousands of miles. The towing truck's rear axles go through tires quite a lot though, I bet. But there's just 8 of those.
My KW has a 185 horse power cummins Its called #11 .It worked in the oil patch. In 1955 . A famous truck in western Canada ,Will be in my Sale August 10 Team Auction
Well 'my' (company truck I drive everyday) with a stinkin' factory OEM 18yo 600hp Cummins has a factory 2000ft/lbs + @ 1375rpm. Big deal for the C510! Who gives a shit about HP? Oh yeah and it's proper 2000ft/lbs actually available to the driver not Euro 720hp/2600ft/lbs (actually only available to the dyno for dick pulling purposes rather than load pulling). Those Euro trucks crack me up. I drove a 720hp Scania V8 recently and it had NOTHING and I mean that, NOTHING like the power the Signature in my 'ole truck has. Stupid Euro truck pulling a B-Double up a hill couldn't make more than 35 - 38km/h at 55t. At 60t my old unit goes up the same hill at 50+ km/h twice a day. With a single trailer my truck at 40+ tonnes goes up an 3rd direct in high range at about 1950rpm at 70-75km/h on a good day. I'm a company driver and I know what I'm talking about. I drive the same route twice a day.
@@ThePaulv12...... The big difference between the EU & US engines, is that all the EU Truck engines are Under-square and the Cummins (& Cat) are Over-square. In layman's terms, that means that an Under-square engine's Stroke travel is less than the diameter of the bore.... just the opposite of the US Truck engines. The Longer (over-square) the stroke in relation to the bore diameter... the higher the piston speed per rpm, which equates to greater internal inertia which generates greater lugging or, "holding" ability for whatever amount of torque generated. This was the cause of Lots of ignorant "4 cycle versus 2 cycle" discussions (re: Myths & "bad mouthing") back in the day of the 2 cycle Detroit Diesels... which still persists even in this day and age... all based on pure ignorance. 1600 (or whatever the number) ft lbs of torque is 1600 ft lbs of torque, Period!... regardless of operational cycle design (for all 2 & 4 cycle gas & diesel engines) or the engine brand name producing it. Two 4 cycle (just for example) diesel engines with identical hp & torque outputs, identical rigs with identical trans, final drive ratios, tire size, & gross weights... with the One Exception of one engine having (for example) a 5.5" X 6.5" B&S versus 5.5" X 6" B&S..... the engine with the 6.5" stroke will "hold" each gear longer in an upgrade pull, than the engine with a 6" stroke due to greater internal inertia created by the higher piston speed in the bore.
@@DavidIrthum I'm Lydia Anderson, Nice meeting you dear, Can we share our emails together and know each other more in time and patience, If you don't mind?
@noob no videos chanel For towing trailers, you're looking more at the amount of torque, rather than the amount of torque. It literally has almost 1 ton-ft (2000 lb-ft), that's a huge amount of torque. No road car would be able to generate that much torque at a low rpm, or have such a torquey engine. This is a very large engine, made for pulling and towing, not for top speed.
I see a lot of posts arguing for euro or KW in Australia. The both have roles to play, but Europeans in general have no concept ot the size and heat of Australia. If I was buying a truck for long haul, i'd be looking for the one with the biggest radiator and a snorkel.
That is a freaken cool truck. All these nay-Sayers in the comments have nothing better to do than pick holes in it. That's a 1000hp combination in the coolest way I've seen. Thanks for posting it, and the good production of the vid.

Le Chat Botté - Didn’t you also hear that it’s 1000hp combined power output of the tractor unit and the trailer engine?
@@carholic-sz3qv No it's combined power with trailer engine. Honestly, 600hp is pretty ''low'' (don't get me wrong.. It's still powerful) for a 19L engine, and the torque is not that great too. Yes European brands do better. On the other hand, the ''average'' power with a 19L could be a reliability choice (?)
A far cry from the 300 hp Hayes I drove in the 60's. 👏👏👏👏
awesome!King of the road👊🏾
@Hello Joe how are you doing
To the people saying it’s not 1000hp...You ever think maybe they’re adding the truck 600 horsepower plus the pusher 400hp diesel to get to the 1000 mark? Lmao gotta love UA-cam comment sections.
Not 1000ph 1000 ph more
Actually, it would be either 1056 or 1106hp.... he said the QSK 19 was spec'd at 606hp, and the pusher was rated at either 450 or 500hp depending on whether it was the standard ISX or the Signature version of the ISX.... which I don't understand, as the Signature version of the ISX was rated at 605hp with 2,050 ft lbs of torque, here in the states for Over The Road (OTR) trucks/Semis with the Owner Operator package from KW, Pete & Western Star.

Awesome rigs the C510.
7:00 - It's one thing to hear it. It's a whole different deal when you FEEL it, too.
Trailer has an Allison transmission! Awesome
they need it because even a kenworth 963 would struggle to pull all these trailer
Hi mate I'm from England and have spent ten years running out of Derbyshire limestone quarry's but I have stopped driving trucks because of automatics. I learned to drive on an EATON twinsplitter and I would love to have a stick in my left hand again so much. I'm very jealous of you guys it's all over here.
There are plenty of road train driving jobs available, jump on seek and apply
But y shift with ur left hand that seems difficult
@@mikehikes710 its the same as shifting with your right hand ?????
Or are your hands not identical
Kenworth is best of the best
@6:47 that turbo sound gets me every time on any big diesel
A line i liked in one of these outback vids, was they pulled up next to a drover having a siesta in the drivers seat of his bush basher ~jeep parked under a tree "Whats happening?". Big grin... "stuck in traffic."
Its a real railway dumpers pulling by this beast
These Road trains needs to be launched in America
I think probably won't happen any time soon as you guys have alot of trucks to move things, and nothing is remote..
To American truckers, “that’s not a truck, this is a truck”.
wow this kenworth is the king of all the trucks
Lol the comments from the Euro truck fanboys. You can tell they've never been to Australia. We actually do have Euro trucks over here, but Kenworth outsells them by a country mile, even though KWs are a lot more expensive. That's not to say the Euros don't try hard, but they're just not up to it for our conditions. Australia isn't Europe by a long way.
Yes, dream on... KW is first, no doubt - but outselling "by a country mile"? Your country mile looks awfully short to me.
Some figures:
Sales Results for the 3rd Quarter 2016HEAVY-DUTY
Kenworth 1439 units - 20.7%Volvo 1125 units - 16.2%
Isuzu 958 units - 13.8%Roughly 50% of all HCVs for the first three, the rest are all the others. Around 7000 Units per 3rd Quarter, or 28.000 Units per year. Nice.
You laugh at the Euro truck fanboys? You know, this looks to me like the whistling of the little boy in the dark woods at night.......But, lets talk about figures. 28.000 Units for Autralia a year? Look, in Germany alone are the sales of HCVs in 2014 around 80.000. Trucksales in the EU are around 300.000 for 2014. India built around 230.000 Units the same year, and China produced a whopping 1.000.000 Units that year.....You know the biggest truck producers worldwide? Not Kenworth obviously, nor their mother company PACCAR - it is Daimler-Benz and Volkswagen........ :D
The thing is: The australian HCV-market is so tiny that nobody of the big ones really is interested....
Pearly Humbucker
Your figures might be right mate, but those sales figure include all those little fiddly euro rigid trucks as well and Isuzu haven't even got a single primemover that can do the interstate work here and last 4-5 months. Yes volvo is selling trucks but its only those small units for single trailer local operation to suit tight inner cities. Interstate there are few but no where near Kenworths. Also this video is regarding Australia so lets just keep it to Australian market as I'm pretty sure none of all those units sold in Germany would be able to pull even a smallest double road-train across outback highways let alone lasting a whole year. So application wise, Volvos are no where near Kenworths. Smallest road-train, that is double train hauls about 90 tonnes. So hopefully it clears the fact
@romy dhaliwal: You know what? My numbers are right, I got them from an australian OwnerDriver-Site. I did talk the australian market the whole time, it is honestly somewhat tiny, so nobody of the big ones does care about.
I can clearly state that you are clueless in so many aspects - there is no help to this. Sorry.
I thought I should look up if Volvos pull roadtrains or if they dont, and came across a video - it was the first video in the list - that really did surprise me in many ways: 1) its a volvo AND 2) Its a mine train AND 3) it is rated 175 to AND 4) has four trailers AND 5) the Driver is a woman.
I see, there is hope for the aussies.....
Man, take a look outside of your box and see whats happening in the world. You think, kangorooland has the biggest? The longest maybe?
No.
Go to South America.
You think, outback transport with roadtrains can only be done by aussies?
Again, go to South America.
I know driving the outback in a roadtrain is heaviest work - and I wouldnt like to do it. But it gets really bad in the wet season. Go to South America and learn how to drive roadtrains in the wet season!".....
:D :D
+Pearly Humbucker
Lol you're as clueless. First of all Australia is not a small tiny market, you're here commenting on Australian videos is proof of that. Name me one country except USA and we probably are bigger market than them. Now you don't call 300 bhp small trucks real trucks Do ya lol. Them cunts are rigids. Down here a truck is when it's hauling few trailers. Compare to wherever you from we are still pretty big. Also if we had to break all those trains and doubles up and use one prime mover for one trailer we would run out of space to park all those trucks lol, that being 6th largest nation on earth. That would be pretty big market for you now wouldn't it be.
Also we don't care about South America, it's a continent not a country. We got worlds biggest trucks to worry about. So sorry no room for little euro boxes.
End of story: down here Euro trucks suck and kenworths shit on 'em all day long.
Where is the relation between me commenting and australia being a small market?
6th biggest nation on earth? In what? Telling phantastic stories about having the biggest, longest, greatest? Or landmass? Or - maybe - deserted landmass? Or population by kangoroos and dingoes? *lol*
Look, I give you the right numbers and set you some relations to reality: Australia is the biggest country of the world and the smallest continent. On this big landmass are living around 23.000.000 people - slightly more than in Peking, und two-third of the population of the whole town Chongqing - or 25% of the population of Germany.
You wont name this a big market, wont you?
>> "down here Euro trucks suck and kenworths shit on 'em all day long."
Ok, I dont have anything against it. A handful Kennies shit on some Euro-Trucks. In the same time the truck manufacturers of these on-shitten Euro-trucks sell tausends of trucks elsewhere in the world - and that gets money in their pocket. That counts.....
Look, you dont understand, dont you? The big players dont make enough money in australia. Aussies love to tow several trailers - but not in fear of "running out of parking space" - that is bullshit. The australian desert is big enough for parking of 10thousands of trucks if needed.
Its really simple: They cant afford having many trucks towing less trailers - and paying the drivers. They need to tow several trailers, otherwise it doesnt pay to transport masses of goods on dirty roads with these huge costs of operation and maintenance.....
Bying and operating a truck in australia doesnt have much to do with national pride or having the Biggest or the Longest. It is all about money. Maybe if you try to educate yourself what the meaning is of Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) or Return Of Investment (ROI), you may anderstand.......
By the way: "Having the longest" is a title that does not belong to the aussies, it belongs to the colombian and brasilian sugar cane truckers that are towing ~ five ladden trailers or 10 to 15 trailers empty through their country.......
And they use the trucks they can get, they can afford, they can pay for....
It’s interesting to read the comments on this Unit from people that you can tell haven’t got a clue and don’t understand the uniqueness of this set up, I operate these Roadtrains our units pull 3 trailers with 300tnn of product and they are an absolute work horse in their field, To work the 18 speed to sync with the Auto on the power trailer on a climb out the pits is something to experience, I have seen a few that didn’t get it right and than it gets exciting with a big mess of twisted Metal and a big job for someone to clean up.
Sounds like fun!
A load of hot asphalt at 50T, having a hard time climbing that hill... A road train rolls by, while saying hold my beer.... 300Ton. Thats a nice run
Cool thing from down under.
@Hello Grant W. Whitman, How are you doing?
@Hello Grant how are you doing
Does anyone know when this video was made? Judging by the rather nicely spoken Aussie english, which is no longer heard here, it wasn't recently.
want to see the owner cry, that's when they tell him he needs 106 new tires.
Truck trailer tires run forever though. Like, hundreds of thousands of miles. The towing truck's rear axles go through tires quite a lot though, I bet. But there's just 8 of those.
Is she the king of trucks 😱😱😱😱
What a beautiful sight 😍
what an ABSOLUTE beast!

how many pound foot torque do Kenworth Road trains produce?
2050 from the Cummins up front
My KW has a 185 horse power cummins Its called #11 .It worked in the oil patch. In 1955 . A famous truck in western Canada ,Will be in my Sale August 10 Team Auction
Saw plenty of these beast while out west
Better title: Massive 1950 lb ft of torque @ 1300 rpm Kenworth C510 with 5 trailer road train.
Massive 1950lb ft of torque... lol
Volvo, Scania, Mercedez, MAN : Hold my beer...
Well 'my' (company truck I drive everyday) with a stinkin' factory OEM 18yo 600hp Cummins has a factory 2000ft/lbs + @ 1375rpm. Big deal for the C510! Who gives a shit about HP?
Oh yeah and it's proper 2000ft/lbs actually available to the driver not Euro 720hp/2600ft/lbs (actually only available to the dyno for dick pulling purposes rather than load pulling). Those Euro trucks crack me up. I drove a 720hp Scania V8 recently and it had NOTHING and I mean that, NOTHING like the power the Signature in my 'ole truck has. Stupid Euro truck pulling a B-Double up a hill couldn't make more than 35 - 38km/h at 55t. At 60t my old unit goes up the same hill at 50+ km/h twice a day.
With a single trailer my truck at 40+ tonnes goes up an 3rd direct in high range at about 1950rpm at 70-75km/h on a good day. I'm a company driver and I know what I'm talking about. I drive the same route twice a day.
@@ThePaulv12...... The big difference between the EU & US engines, is that all the EU Truck engines are Under-square and the Cummins (& Cat) are Over-square. In layman's terms, that means that an Under-square engine's Stroke travel is less than the diameter of the bore.... just the opposite of the US Truck engines.
The Longer (over-square) the stroke in relation to the bore diameter... the higher the piston speed per rpm, which equates to greater internal inertia which generates greater lugging or, "holding" ability for whatever amount of torque generated.
This was the cause of Lots of ignorant "4 cycle versus 2 cycle" discussions (re: Myths & "bad mouthing") back in the day of the 2 cycle Detroit Diesels... which still persists even in this day and age... all based on pure ignorance.
1600 (or whatever the number) ft lbs of torque is 1600 ft lbs of torque, Period!... regardless of operational cycle design (for all 2 & 4 cycle gas & diesel engines) or the engine brand name producing it.
Two 4 cycle (just for example) diesel engines with identical hp & torque outputs, identical rigs with identical trans, final drive ratios, tire size, & gross weights... with the One Exception of one engine having (for example) a 5.5" X 6.5" B&S versus 5.5" X 6" B&S..... the engine with the 6.5" stroke will "hold" each gear longer in an upgrade pull, than the engine with a 6" stroke due to greater internal inertia created by the higher piston speed in the bore.
As it should be. Horsepower is irrelevant but the torque output is what it power.

A 750hp car wouldnt be able to move the trailers. Its not just hp but the ammount of tourque theese monsters put out is insane
@Neeraj Sharma 1000 hp is 1000 hp
@@StonedSpagooter yes it is, but your LS, 2j or rb aren't going to give you 2000 ft /pound at 1300 revs
@noob no videos chanel For towing trailers, you're looking more at the amount of torque, rather than the amount of torque. It literally has almost 1 ton-ft (2000 lb-ft), that's a huge amount of torque. No road car would be able to generate that much torque at a low rpm, or have such a torquey engine. This is a very large engine, made for pulling and towing, not for top speed.
What the fuck do you need 750 hp for? You only go to the bloody mall or to the garage to fill the thing up all the time.
Now that's a truck mate!
I see a lot of posts arguing for euro or KW in Australia. The both have roles to play, but Europeans in general have no concept ot the size and heat of Australia. If I was buying a truck for long haul, i'd be looking for the one with the biggest radiator and a snorkel.
Hold on don't eu trucks are better since they are shorter and also have a bigger grill
Some really cool equipment there !!!
@Hello How are you doing
think about the weight here. We're talking 15 - 20 times the cargo weight of a typical tractor trailer on the road on US highways.

Kenworth looks like a vintage truck compared to Scania and Volvo. I think these drivers would appriciate the comfort that Scania and Volvo offer.
Volvos and Scanias don't cut it in the outback, further towards city you will find MAN, Scania, Volvo, Iveco, etc
