I thought of you today Racer; a BIG rig stayed at a truck stop at Wangaratta during the day. It is too big to travel on the highway in daylight hours!
Travelling from Melbourne Vic. to Newcastle NSW - 1029 kilometres. Highway speed 40 kph, down to 5kph over bridges and around corners.
It is carrying a generator - one of 4 to be moved this year.
Here's a pic; Big job - Melbourne to Newcastle,KP__8467 by Rodney Grant, on Flickr
well, that was the front half:
here is the back half; Big Job - daytime park @ Wangaratta - the back end,KP__8500 by Rodney Grant, on Flickr
The grey box in the foreground is the generator resting on the ground.
The first windscreen you can see is the cabin that the bloke sits in who steers the 96 wheels on each half of the "trailer".
The next two windscreens you see are the two trucks that push from the rear.

Point Lonsdale jetty, Bellarine Peninsular, Victoria.
The water you see is "The Rip" - the dangerous entry into Port Phillip which gives access to Geelong and Port Melbourne ports. Point Lonsdale jetty, KP__5488 by Rodney Grant, on Flickr

Must be a cross wind, judging by the approach angle of the hood ornament.
