Popular Post 85snowdog Posted August 8, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted August 8, 2014 Last weekend was the Notre Dame truck rodeo in Quebec. This has on youtube….. not Macks, but pretty cool in my opinion. From what I can figure, they are pulling 145,000 pounds…….The trucks are going faster than my 237 would go empty. 3 Quote Keith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post BAD DOG Posted August 8, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted August 8, 2014 Yeah I was up there too. Those YouTube videos do no justice it's 1000 times better to experience it in person. Plus I'm puzzled about that 187,000 lb thing they were telling everyone that was the weight with 2 trailers then at the end on Sunday they hooked a third trailer load of lumber to a few of them and told everyone the gross was 170,000lbs even if they got their metric conversion messed up it don't add up. I figure 170,000 lbs is probably close for the three trailers I don't know where they came up with the 187,000 lbs. because the two trailers just have a normal load of lumber and that would legal 140,000lbs or less so hooking another lead on a set of trains would put you close to 170,000lbs. A bunch of my friends and myself started going about 8 years ago and usually go every year, and it's not as good as it was when we started going but it's a good time I recommend everyone should go at least once. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My education of Australian road trains is from the same place, youtube.Hopefully one day I can see both, Notre Dame rodeo, and go to the other side of the world to see some cool road trains!Keith Quote Keith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
