Not sure if this was ever shared, but wow. If you need a sleigh team of semi s to tow something....its heavy (1.6 million lbs) . Watch the video, its worth it.

How do you coordinate the throttle, gears, and steering between that many trucks?  Radio seems obvious, but maybe there’s something a bit more sophisticated.

I am guessing just radio, I can’t think of any other setup that wouldn’t be crazy complicated.

I was hoping it would be something like semaphore flags or maybe colored aerial flares.

Gears are likely a shared mentality, but shifted at different times to space the shock loads. Steering is a matter of coordination where each driver knows the line their truck must take. And brakes and gas radio.

Notice that many of the trucks just have a ballast block for traction. I’d love to see them roll through a truck scale just to see if they can break the software.

Each truck is likely ~80k lbs, ballast and all.

Yep. That definitely looks like Edmonton.
