Special Free Shipping Trucks

There is a very interesting free shipping concept being used in the United States, Canada, and Australia that makes use of trucks to imitate another form of transport- trains. They are essentially extremely large trucks that have multiple trailers attached. This enables shippers to move goods on public roads with the relative efficiency of a train and at costs lower than would be expected from single trailer trucks. In the United States, only three trailers are allowed while in Australia, trucks have been made to haul in excess of 40 trailers.
