The best on like that I've seen is the Aussie road trains.  For those who don't know, in siome states they have a truck (Prime mover) pulling anything from 2 upto 7 trailers. :shock:   I've seen some flatbed road trains which when they've unloaded and are coming back empty, they stack the trailers on each other and often carry another vehicle back with them.

You're not kidding!  The road train prime movers usually have at least 600bhp and some (on the really big ones) have upto 1000bhp. :shock:  :shock:  :shock:  :shock:

its even more incredible when you think these heavy movers dont rev too high

the amount of torque produced must be phenominal
