Mega lorry

(1/4) > >>

muddyjames:
Has anyone seen this on the news? It looks cool and I am not sure I fancy driving one, not until I have mastered a normal artic at least! But going from my own experience, if they advertise drivers with previous experience is needed they wont have anyone applying! lol

topless matt:
Thats nothing new....... been going on in australia for decades.
Even seen one in oz hat was 12 trailers so not really sure what the fuss is about

V8MoneyPit:
Stephen Joseph is talking out of his backside, isn't he? The weight limit, which the company rightly points out, is still 44 tonnes. So they won't be carrying 50 or 100 tonnes. They will simply be carrying more volume of light weight goods.

carbore:
You would think that people in pressure groups would understand these things e.g weight limits.

Its an interesting technical issue re towing mind.

Anyway if people want less lorries on the road they shold stop buying so much stuff. Lorry drivers dont drive around for fun, they do is becuase they are delivering things, like, food, your kids christmas presents, etc etc.

And how may rail to good terminals are there e.g. to let trains do backbone haulage and smaller trucks do local drops.

Sorry but consumerism=lorries on road

if it helps, just think of Lorries as "Busses for boxes"

muddyjames:
I think it is a great idea myself.

I am suprised they arent going to get done for the whole trailer towing a trailer law unless they have a showmans license for genral haulage if that exists? If it had been a rigid with a 5th wheel at the back towing a trailer then I could see that working. Imagine trying to reverse that mega lorry!
