road trains
Multi-trailer rigs
Road trains are extremely long trucking rigs consisting of a prime mover pulling multiple trailers linked together.
Common in the Australian Outback and other remote regions with vast distances, they can stretch over 50 meters and haul enormous loads across sparsely populated areas where conventional freight isn't practical: We pulled over to let a road train thunder past.
