Multiple trucks pushing pulling a load

457 views

I just watched a video of 4 trucks connected together pulling a huge load. Then there were 3 more trucks connected to each other and the load pushing.

How do the 7 trucks synchronize so that they work together as one unit? Could one truck could have a negative effect on all the other trucks if it went slower?

They don’t have to be perfectly in sync for each of them to apply force to the load to get it moving. Sure, you’ll lose some effectiveness if they’re not all pushing at exactly the same rate, but they’re all contributing more than not, unless someone’s fully locked up and standing on the brakes 🙂
