The photo needs to be a bit longer, but I think that he is driving with a dog trailer.
He is Towing 2 Dog Trailers, each having 6 axles. GCM is 123.5 ton. Cheers
23.5 on each of 4 tri-axles, 17.5 ton on drive and 12 ton on steers. Cheers

............and only the weight of one end of the Tow bar on the Tow Ball ..... a significant difference between this - a Dog Trailer, and a Caravan - a Pig Trailer. KB

Quite right Kerry, and a nightmare to drive empty on wet roads, with diff-locks needed when climbing slight grades or travelling on roundabouts. And the push from the trailers needs careful handling on wet roads when empty. Cheers
P.S This is NOT one of the trucks I drive, although I did drive a similarly set-up Volvo 660HP for several months,

Had you looked closely at the start of the thread you would likely have seen a DOG in the truck's drivers' seat, apparently driving the truck. I thought that this was quite amusing, so I chose the 'Jokes, section to post the photo.
Watsea and KJB both posted relevant comments, to which I responded.
Deeply sorry that I trod on your delicate little toes. Cheers

Very observant Bob, plus I wouldn't be seen dead in a cab-over Kenworth either. Terrible trucks. Cheers

As an attempt at humour, I made the comment about a dog trailer because a dog was the apparent driver of the rig.
Maybe , I made a dog of a joke.

Don't be too worried about it Ted, as some things appear to simply go over the heads of people?
People often lookat stuff, but don't actually read or comprehend the content, which is really quite sad. Cheers
It is common knowledge that there is a National Shortage of experienced Roadtrain drivers, but perhaps the shortage is greater than many realise?

About as comfortable as a 70, odd series as well.
Your onto it Craig
But both the subject vehicles will be around and working long after those on the long list of pretenders have expired.
"Only a few truly need a 70 series Landcruiser, but for these people there isn't really anything that compares or competes."
