An eighteen speed gearbox <br />Five hundred and fifty horsepower too. <br />One hundred and ten wheels. <br />Twenty eight axles spinning true. <br /> <br />It carries full a ton of fuel. <br />What more of this is true? <br />It works twenty four hours every day <br />It's job is never through. <br /> <br />The longest trucks in the world <br />The Road Train Centipede. <br />For Australia has very few trains <br />So they all depend on these. <br /> <br />To take the iron ore many miles <br />And the goods from shore to shore. <br />The Outback roads are empty and straight <br />So these monster trucks can soar.<br /><br />Robert Edgar Burns<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/road-train/
