Semi-truck enthusiasts have, for many years, been obsessed with how many trailers a truck is able to pull. Thus, it is no surprise that the record has been surpassed many times already. The latest world record was set in 2006 in Queensland, Australia.
In essence, a road train is a semi-truck that pulls more than one truck - usually 2 or 3. However, in more remove areas of countries like Argentina, Australia, Mexico, the United States, and Canada, road trains are typically used to move freight around efficiently. Whilst the momentum of the load is considerably high, the use of only one truck makes it cost efficient to move freight in this way.

It is Australia which has the largest and heaviest road-legal road trains in the world. Some of which can exceed 220 tonnes in their overall weight. With such weight in mind, it is common-sense that such trucks are only used in more rural areas of the world. Sometimes you may see wide-loads on highways - most of which will be accompanied with police cars to alert other motorists to the potential dangers of the vehicle.

Whilst road-trains naturally have their usage throughout the world, and particular in Australia, enthusiasts have attempted to break the record many times. Each time it highlights the power of the trucks towing the numerous trailers.

In 1989, one trucker enthusiast calling himself Buddo, managed to tow 12 trailers down the main-street in Window, Queensland. It would be another 4 years, in 1993, when a trucker named Plugger managed to tow 16 trailers behind his Mack SuperLiner truck. However, this war a short-lived world record, when Malcolm Chrisholm tugged 21 trailers, weighing a phenomenal 290 tonnes. Some 6 years later in 1999, there was quite a contest between Brooke and Winton, with the record finally being surpassed by Winton, in towing an exceptional 34 trailers.

It was only a year later, when Doug Gould set a new world record in tugging 79 trailers, weighing little over a ton in its overall weight. This was set whilst he was tugging the 79 trailers in his Kenworth C501T in Kalgoorlie, Western Australia. It is somewhat remarkable in that he pulled these trailers a total distance of 8 kilometres! In 2003, the record was broken again in Mungindi, New South Wales, when a road-train consisting of 78 trailers was pulled a short distance.

The record was then broken twice in the year 2004, first by Doug Gould, who had broken the record back in the year 2000, when he pulled 100 trailers. Then by a group from Clifton, Queensland, who utilised the tremendous power of a standard Mack truck to tug 120 trailers a little over 100 metres.

Therefore, to the present day, in 2006 the record was broken by a Mack Titan. The truck was driven by John Atkinson, who was 70 years old at the time of the world record attempt. This was observed by some 8,000 people, including the officials from the Guinness Book of Records. It is perhaps quite unbelievable in that the trailers stretched nearly 1.5 kilometres down the road, and was pulled a distance of 100 metres.

This proves that the Mack truck is still the most sought after of trucks, and able to pull an unimaginable amount of trailers. And whilst it naturally wouldn't be legal to tow 113 trailers, it proves that Mack can pull any legal amount of freight, for its common uses in rural parts of the world - and most commonly, in Australia, where most of the world records were attempted.

When looking for some cute shoes to buy there are a few different things that you need to look for in order to make sure you are getting quality. Price is not always a good indicator of the quality of a shoe. Being able to touch and handle the shoe is going to be critical when deciding the quality of the shoe. Here are a list of 4 things to look at for the quality of women's shoes:

1. Sole
The sole is the key component of the shoe. If the sole of the shoe is low quality, then the overall longevity of the shoe is dramatically reduced. Always check to make sure the sole is securely attached to the main part of the shoe. If you can see glue and the sole is curling, this could be a very bad sign that the shoe is low quality. Another test, would be to twist the shoe to test the flexibility. If the shoe gives little resistance, then the sole is most likely made of poor lightweight material that could also be a sign of low quality.

2. Stitching
When it comes to stitching, you need to look and check for even stitching. If the shoes also have double stitching, that can also be a very good sign
of a quality shoe.

3. Material
The material that the shoe is made of is the easiest way to tell the quality of the shoe. Like the sole, the material is going to determine how long the shoe is going to last. Satin, Suede, Canvas, or Leather are the best material that a shoe can be made of to ensure quality and longevity.

4. Quality of hardware (or embellishment)
It is very important that you examine any buckles, zippers, rhinestones, or other hardware on the shoe to make sure it is securely fastened. This should
prevent the shoe from quickly losing any of the hardware. Checking for this may help prevent you from having to throw away your shoes prematurely.
