R. Alex Jenkins Nov 14, 2008:
I think you could perhaps explain why you choose this particular answer? I'm not saying you necessarily chose wrongly, but my answer is very specific in terms of mining vehicles and I would like to know why it wasn't selected. It's not a random answer.

Road Train (roadtrain)

Hi,
Have a look at this link in Portuguese and go down to the comments section...

They are called 'Road Trains', manufactured by ETF.

Amazing vehicles, with independently turning wheels and suspension:

My answer is very specific and I was sure it was right, but if the client (our boss) says it's 'this', then 'this' it is, end of story. Have a great weekend - sorry for the trouble :)))
Note from asker:
There was really a doubt between your suggestion and the chosen one, but there was a note from the client related to this.

Cheers, Ralph :)
agree Gilmar Fernandes : This is also another option, since there's no context....could also be truck convoy as above....Zornitsa should clear that up with the client.
