Nah...always free beers mate, regardless.
That's a wee road train...had to pass a few of them in my travels...bit of a pain on a dirt road though with all them wheels throwing up stones and dust.
These are a couple of road trains I passed last time I was in the Outback:
Firstly a three trailer, Double Deck Cattle truck (imagine the mess comin' out the side if something spooked them badly).
Next, a four trailer general haulage road train.
Cheers, Vince

hey the poos get caught in tanks over here. they hold 200ltrs or so each they last for a short trip but once they are full it spills out the side till you can mt them again. been hauling yearling dairy stock the last 2 days got down to 15kmsph up some of the hills. some more horse power would be good but we does what we can with what weve got.

Hey Elvis,
Do you open the chute on impatient drivers? I've had plenty of angry motorists stop me and tell me about cattle trucks unloading litres of crap on them, seen some well covered cars to back the theory up!

they must be plurry fast running drivers with cruise control and steering lock cause you have to go back to back passengers side corner of truck to physically pull the flap and the trailer tank is in the same place. in order to get a car the flap/pipe would have to be on the right not the left and be openable from the cab.
question for you Radar
which is better dropping tank out on side of back road when its over flowing or spilling everywhere you go and extra at corners???
Ive found the roadside dump sites are good to use but along way apart and the signage needs to be better.

I'd tell 'em "are you sure your kids weren't making faces at them?" |
