I would like to go on a run in one of those Aussie truck trains. It would be interesting.

The 1st setup is know as a "B" train. It has the 5th wheel for the rear trailer mounted on the back of the front trailer. Very common in Canada and the US Pacific Northwest. Very stable combination.

Some States allow "turnpike" doubles or triples (48ft trailers) but, only very limited on the roads of travel. Another common combination is, "rocky mountain" doubles, a 40 or 45ft trailer followed by a 25ft.
