What is the most exciting aspect of driving an 18-wheeler truck across America (or any other country)?

All heavy vehicles (over 12,000 kg max weight) are limited to 100kmh (62 mph), even where the speed limit is higher.

We allow higher weights than US trucks - 42,500 kg (93500lb) versus 80,000 lb for a single trailer semi.

We have to have enough technical knowledge to make some repairs on the road.

In Australia we have 22 wheel trucks as standard - three axle trailers.

Our trucks have big horsepower (kilowatts), and big fuel tanks to cope with the long distance.

When driving more than 100km from your base, we have a maximum of 12 hours loading/driving per 24 hours with strict rest times during that 12 hour working day, so it takes 14 hours to work/drive those 12 hours.
