The world ain't all sunshine and rainbows. It's a very mean and nasty place... and I donīt care how tough you are, it will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently, if you let it. You, me or nobody, is gonna hit as hard as life. But ain't about how hard you hit... It's about how hard you can get hit, and keep moving forward... how much you can take, and keep moving forward. Thatīs how winning is done. Now, if you know what you worth, go out and get what you worth. - Rocky Balboa
A road train or roadtrain is a trucking concept used in remote areas of Argentina, Australia, Mexico, the United States and Canada to move freight efficiently. The term "road train" is most often used in Australia. In the U.S. and Canada the terms "triples," "Turnpike doubles" and "Rocky Mountain doubles" are commonly used for longer combination vehicles (LCVs).[1] A road train consists of a relatively conventional tractor unit, but instead of pulling one trailer or semi-trailer, the road train pulls two or more of them.
yeah, sorry for the stupid question. I guess I was confused because what if the roads require you to turn, but I guess there are roads designed for roadtrains to just go straight.
When I was living in Argentina, I came across one of them on a road trip. 120 wheeler.
I'll dig up my backups because I took a pic with it. (it was parked on the side of the road next to a service station/restaurant) The pic was on a 45' angle and you could barely see where the truck ends.
The video OP posted sounded like a Mexican accent to me. I'd assume it's in Mexico
pretty sure they are speaking Brazilian Portuguese. Lucky there wasn't any incoming traffic lol

Definitely Brazilian Portuguese. He even mentions that it's 130 meters long at the beginning.
