My car runs out fuel in mungo australia, and this god like road train picks me up to fuel station saved my day, and the driver allowed to fiddle around the air horns, radios and jake brakes. Road trains are legend.
I have lived in Alice Springs NT Australia for 40 year's. Triples pass through town every minute. As a driver in an outback town you learn to respect these vehicles. You NEVER drive beside one, only in front or behind, as you will be invisible to them beside.
I encountered a 4 dog trailer on the Newcastle Waters causeway. We were both heading north. To overtake I was on the wrong side of the road for over. 5 minutes at more than 125km/ph. Not something to repeat often.
I worked up in the Pilbara which is called quad country. If an operator can see you behind them in an LV, they will give you indiaction to pass as they can only travel at 90kmh. You couldn't do it in a heavy as they constantly have quads travelling in both directions on the great Northern. You learn to respect them pretty quickly.
The Kenworth T909 truck looks really nice and strong.And you can see many long trucks driving fast. Is the truck lightly loaded so it can go fast? I'm watching this channel from Indonesia..good afternoon my friend.
T909’s are awesome. The average triple road train carries 90-100 tonnes. The mining side tippers that I drive in north Western Australia carry 140-200 tonnes on a private haul road 👍
Coming from an old experienced driver, I'd give them a shot. Pulled almost everything behind my tractor and I think that would be an interesting experience. Roll on.
As a truck driver in the WA Pilbara I can say you missed a little here. The trucks are important although there are several capable of pulling the loads we have. However the trailer tech is under-rated. These days we're using 4 trailer combos wiith tri-axle dollys and quad rears. These units are 60m long, around 150 ton payload and gross at around 215 ton. Fuel tankers are also starting to catch up although most use a standard quad configuration with a b-double upfront and two single trailers behind. Still big units though.
I’m proud to say I drive the BIS quad power trains, they’re long over due for replacement though. I also drive a Kenworth C510 Bigfoot triple with a 750 HP diesel generator motor.
@@shanemac1111 hey mate, Murrim Murrim is no where need Hedland, Hedland is north Murrim is east. MGM is up Hedland way they’re always looking, thinking of going across to them myself.
I will say you Aussies have some stones to do what you guys do in that environment work and play.. Was at one time looking into moving there from states to drive truck across outback with at the time 20yrs OTR driving accident free but didn't because I couldn't drive a right hand drive truck and also thought I would have to give up my American status and didn't want to do that either but learned later that I wouldn't have to. The KW T909 looked Great 👍👍👍 to you folks Down Under 🍻✌️👋
Cheers big ears!! Yeah it’s nice scenery especially in north of Western Australia where I am. Never get tired of it. 60 meters long, gross weight 265 tonne….. what could go wrong?? Haha
Crazy to think that that one small semi truck engine can pull a neighborhood blocks worth of load at the work of five hundred horses! Goes to show how powerful our minds can be 👏
The automatic quad power train I drive sometimes has two 750hp Cummins generator motors. One in the prime mover and one on the third trailer. The other truck I drive is a Kenworth C510 Bigfoot with an 18sp Roadranger with 750 hp Cummins generator motor pulling triple Roadtrain.
@@alanmay7929 Air blows into the generator until it compresses and then diesel injects. The combination of compressed air and diesel fuel causes the air to combust, starting the generator. The heat from the engine converts to mechanical energy where it enters the alternator and converts the energy into electricity. This is off Google which can explain better than me. The drives have huge hubs I know that..
Think meant 1580L but lot trailers in aust have under belly fuel tanks which can pump up to main truck tanks,a triple with trailer tanks and 4 main tanks is about 7500L all up.
No I think he meant the tanker trailers , the fuel tanks are @600-1000liters each, depending on how many there are, sometimes up to 6 tanks , that's 4000+ liters of fuel!
I had to play that a couple of times. At first I thought he was talking about the capacity of a diesel engine, and 15.8L seems about right, once you pass it through an American proof reader who doesn’t do metric, and then sends it on to an AI voice over system. Basic fuel tank as supplied is one 450L tank on the left, but Kenworth say it’s fully customisable, and I’m sure I’ve heard of road trains carrying 2000L or more on outback roads.
This bloke makes this videos by copying clips off other people’s videos and doesn’t do any research. I also don’t think he has ever put foot in Australia. He has made the same mistake as other people do who don’t know the metric system and if he knew how big a litre was he would have realised his mistake This bloke has taken the information from some other video and was thinking that the information was describing the truck’s fuel capacity. In Australia a long haul truck carries about 1000 litres or so of fuel (can have more fuel tanks under the trailers) for the truck’s engine and the 158000 litres of fuel is what is in the tanks on the back of the truck and this fuel is for the customer/s - not the truck’s engine.
I’m an ozzy trucky who began in heavy haulage and now haul fuel road trains. And I can tell you that Australia produce the hardest working trucks that only with the highest skilled drivers can operate
i don’t believe this bloke has EVER truely seen a rd train or he would know ALL trains can take 3-4 trailers right across Australia from top to bottom from east to west and EVERYWHERE INBETWEEN
You were incorrect when you were saying that the 909 holds 158000 L of fuel it could probably pull 158000 L of fuel in trailers but there's no way that it has it in its own fuel tanks they only hold about 1200 L
Volume, wheel base, sleepers... Yes US trucks are biggest. Weight ratings, HP, trailers including trains... No Australia and Europe got US beat hands down.
@@Golden-dog88 no I didn't realize that. North American trucks are limited to 80,000lbs without an overweight permit... Over 80,000lbs are considered heavy hauling, I'm assuming that Aussie road trains use something Similar but my understanding was they still had wheelbase limits on the tractor/ or prime mover, so with wheelbase limits Aussie trucks (not including the trailer) would be smaller by volume and wheelbase but not necessarily weight. As for weight massive oversized loads far exceeding normal weight, hight and width would be of similar size all around the world. A 200,000 electric transformer is past the conventional capacity of every country on the planet but everywhere would need to offer a method of oversized loads. So we should be talking size by average if we are talking about which trucks are bigger between countries
Yes, but not easy. You try not to get yourself in a situation where you have to. But these things don’t need to for the type of work they do, everything is set up tipping wise etc so you don’t need to reverse. They’re side tippers so you just run the product out or in a hopper. The road train in my profile picture has rock bodies. I was carting large granite boulders , I was just driving up a ramp tipping them and they’d just roll away, very easy.
Can someone please explain something to me, this is my second video I have watched about road trains and (by all means correct me if I'm wrong) both videos mention the trucks horsepower (which plays a part, I understand) but at the same time wouldn't the torque numbers be even more impressive? Wouldn't that be the thing that differentiates a road train from a regular truck? a 600hp truck isn't that out of the ordinary road train or not.
There’s other UA-cam channels out there which cover much more specific details about these trucks, but they are basically producing 1000 - 1300+ Lb Ft of torque output from 1200-1800 RPM, which is obviously required when hauling 220-250 tonnes minimum out of these rigs 👍 600HP is the low end of the scale, where 700-800+ horsepower is more common in the larger Road Trains.
Yeah Pete is right, normally 600hp generate 2000-2050 ft lb which is needed to get up the bigger jump ups. The ore trucks are mainly tri-drive as well, to increase payload and to share the load of the torque produced 🤙
I WOULD LOVE TO DRIVE A ROAD TRAIN. IT WOULD BE AWESOME TO LEARN HOW. I AM A DRIVER OF 45 YEARS IN AMERICA, HOWEVER IT WOULD BE LIKE STARTING OVER DRIVING A ROAD TRAIN.
In Australia we pronounce it as a nine oh nine, and a five oh nine. Qube bulk haul is one of the companies that run bulk ore trucks, the trucks aren't called Qube bulk trucks... I'm sure there is loads of footage of Volvo F 16's running as road trains with out you having to resort to using Scandinavian footage. If not then Volvo need to get their act together.
So, according to the Op these trucks hold 158,000 liters of fuel. That would weigh 114 tonnes WITHOUT the tanks to hold that fuel. At a max length of around 50 meters that would mean the fuel tanks would need to be 2 meters wide, one meter high and longer than the maximum length. So where do they put the payload, you know the stuff that actually earns money ( thats why they call it payload) for the owner
I see triples just about every time I go to town. All kinds of loads. We live Just outside Bunbury South West Australia. A few years ago you wouldn't see a double.
The wagner coal triples between Rocky and Blackwater used to be a bit loose to overtake back in the early 2000s, last trailer had a mind of its own with nothing in it, alright in the other direction though
Thumbnail said Train on Road. First clip took that literally XD im already in and have only watched 3 seconds :P time for the rest But one thing. 158000 Liters of Diesel Capactiy??? i REALLY hope you meant 1580 Liters because 6 Digits for a single Truck is..... well maybe the whole roadtrain with 3 Trailers can Haul that much but the Truck itself definitely doesnt have that Capacity XD
Coming from Outback Australia I have to say that the only Road Trains worth their salt are ALL found in Australia, mostly because we have the space to operate them in remote areas. Good video matey.
@ 1:21 - 158,000 litres? You sure? I have my doubts. Total fuel in all 4 trailers maybe. @ 1:55 - talking about Aussie trucks but showing a Volvo clearly not based in Australia. Why? And you didn't even talk about the big one in the thumbnail picture.
Call up on channel 40 to let them know , if you on a dirt road they cant see you for the dust so they give you the all clear to put your boot up it and sometimes if theres a breeze blowing theyll move to the downwind side so you can see where youre going .
wow 158000 liters ? that's 41,739 gallons. x roughly 7lbs per gallon, that's 293,173 lbs of fuel. i'm surprised the truck can move, much less haul a load. must take a long time to fuel.
i'm confused, video starts off right hand drive KW , then we are suddenly in another country with a left hand drive volvo & in the blink of an eye we are back in aus.
Why would you want a driver to live in a shoe box. Australian long distance drivers live in these trucks. The European built trucks just don't provide a large enough sleeper cab.

I drive triple and quad road trains in nor-west of Australia. Never get sick of it
I'd love to see one of these pull into an American Weigh Station. 😂
I sure am glad I didn't come across too many of these things with seven trailers when I was towing a caravan across the country thirty years ago.
7 trailers?? 4 tops in Australia on road. A few mine sites have 5 trailer combinations. Super quads are still big units but
When i drive a big truck i feel like i own the freeway.nice video i like.

Correct! I’m out at Ken’s bore in Pilbara, we’re on a private haul road so we don’t have to comply with AAMS, we’re putting 170 tonne on our triples 🤙
Good video although I reckon most Australian driver prefer Kenworth.
My company prefers Kenworth cab overs for all linehaul work whether it’s semi, b-double, b-triple or road train.

Centurion is the transport company, not the manufacturer. Centurion (we call them chook heads here in WA) are prob the biggest freight mob in WA 🤙
Do all of the trailers have brakes ?
Yes. Each wheel has an individual brake.
wow 158000 liters ? that's 41,739 gallons. x roughly 7lbs per gallon, that's 293,173 lbs of fuel. i'm surprised the truck can move, much less haul a load. must take a long time to fuel.
