(Video from YouTube, by emd645e3c el 4 Nov 2010: Various views of singles, B-Double, B-Triple, and some road trains around the Port Augusta area.

Canberra,Australia -ATA Friday's Facts -10 Feb 2012: -- Australia’s transport ministers should slash the registration charges on B-doubles from $15,708 to $10,995 per year, ATA Chief Executive, Stuart St Clair, said this week... The registration charge for a tri-axle A-trailer increased from $1,065 in 2007-08 to $6,525 in 2011-12. As a result, the registration charge on a nine-axle B-double increased from $8,041 in 2007-08 to $15,708 in 2011-12, an increase of 88 per cent... “As a result of the dramatic increase in charges, many trucking operators are now moving away from using B-doubles. If this continues, the result will be an increased number of accidents and lower productivity, because B-doubles are safer and carry more than conventional semi-trailers,” Stuart said...
