    Its amazing how in America there is a shortage of drivers, but did the 'experts' ever consider adding capacity to the trucks. We are limited to 1 53 foot trailer. Imagine if we could haul 2...or 3. In Canada, under some circumstances you can haul 2 53 foot trailers. Best we can do in the US (only in some states) is triples, 3 28 foot trailers.

      The big distances in Western Australia have necessitated the use of the road train. I guess the roads weren’t designed to carry them in the US.

      For short trips, roadtrains are likely too complex. And for long trips, regular trains are more efficient, if there is enough being shipped. I imagine that's why they are used in down under, to get goods to places efficiently, where there is not enough demand to run a train track. Compared to the outback, the US has a relatively high population density.

      @@titaniummechanism3214 100%. Much of what is shown in this video is due to mining activity in remote areas. The side tippers are mainly hauling from smaller mines to shipping or processing facilities. Some larger mines do have rail infrastructure and this video shows one of those trains hauling iron ore in the Pilbara region of Western Australia. There is also a lot of general freight and fuel being hauled to remote townsites and mines.

    The mega quads are really extraordinary. They are gigantic, even in this region. It's good to see more companies operates them, it's obvious the concept is successful. The variety is excellent again, lots of cool trucks and trailers. The friendly wave at 5:12 is cute. Of course the oversize loads are amazing too. Is that Kumarina Roadhouse at 7:13? I know the last place is Auski Roadhouse with the new paved parking lot. Fantastic video again Phil, you're lucky you can regularly catch these wonderful monsters for us.
