Road train information


A three-trailer livestock road train in Australia

A road train, also known as a land train or long combination vehicle (LCV) is a semi-truck used to move road freight more efficiently than single-trailer semi-trucks. It consists of one semi-trailer or more connected together with or without a tractor.[1] It typically has to be at least three trailers and one tractor.
