Dunno. Can you provide a link that works so I can find out, Ian?

Works for me, it must be your contrappletion.
Cut and paste this into a You tube search.

H-137 Frankie Crossing the Two Mile Bridge, Big Spruce

What is it Ian, looks a bit like a Peterbuilt or Autocar.

Its tall/wide but not very long, load of spruce...

Not sure on the cubic mtr weight of spruce but the tyres on that truck didnt show a hell of a lot of weight...

At a guess I would say gross 50-55 tonnes...

If it was WA Karri, then the truck would be broke...

The bit that would scare me is the bridge, f^&% those narrow bridges, ones up north use to scare the **** out of me(get on bridge, line up other end and close my eyes)...

Love seeing the old trucks in action, but even better driving them... Especially the old twin stick Spicers and Mack boxes... Always good for an embarrassment...

Not sure Brian, carting logs, it could also be a Pacific.

The first time I crossed the Gilbert, I was swinging three at 100k, crested a rise to see this right in front of me.

Could also have been a Deutz. Things like that were often OshKosh.
