Long Truck

Could this be the longest road truck ever? According to a comment on YouTube this is a sugar cane transporter truck (or treminhão) from Brazil.

Yes, it's a kind of truck used in Campos de Goitacazes county, estado do Rio de Janeiro. But it's so rare to find it in the highways, just at the farms area.

Here in the region of Ribeirão Preto, estado de São Paulo, we see this kind of truck all day. Treminhão is when they use just 3 and not ten like this video. That one they use Located in Pradópolis (SP), São Martinho Mill (Usina São Martinho) is the largest processor of sugarcane in the world, milling around 8.5 million tons per harvest

In the United States, at least in all of the states that I am remotely familiar with, it is illegal to couple this many independent trailers together. It's not really a truck is it? It's just a normal hauler pulling what... eight or nine trailers?

We call them road trains in Australia. I don't think I've ever seen one with 10 parts, though.
