the pics showing the 6 trailer power tains are the only ones not able to run on the open roads,they onsite only unless they split them in half.The pic with all the trailers lined up on the highway im THINKING looks like the world record attempt for the longest roadtrain at Merriden in West Aussie back in 1998/9..BUT I COULD BE WRONG!!!!!!!!!!
Single trailer up to 53 feet on any interstate
doubles and triples vary from state to state
Double 53 footers
double or triple 28 footers.
back in the 60s the used to run rocky mountain doubles which was a 45 and a 28
when they got to California they would slide fifth wheel all the way forward so the short trailer was right up against the cab.. a pin on the back of the tractor locked into the trailer. essentially turning it into a straight truck pulling a trailer which was legal in CA
the b&w pic is a B-model mack, which was one of the first trucks to make long distance haulage possible in Australia.
The front "guards" are called bull-bars for a reason.
