Road trains are a cool feature of Australia. I assume they are the only country that has them.

Do the drivers have to have a special endorsement on their licence or can any truck driver drive one?

Yeh, their factory is in brisbane, i should have blurred the faces to protect the innocent

992 size loader to load them, witht he 4 trailer (one is powered) setup they are good to tow 350 ton at 80+kmph in 60degreeC all day
