I might have posted this link before, but it’s still worth your while. Econofreight on the move with a Scammell S26 named “Evening Star”.

I have indeed seen that Evening Star clip before but as you said, worth another watch. Even though I know he knows what he is doing I thought he was going too wide out of the factory and too close out of the T-junction. No doubt a Thornaby driver so I would not have known him, but a very good job well done. 
As to the Nissans, what a revelation.

From my calculation - the tfrailer alone has 22 axels - 4 wheels per axel (not 100% certain this is the case) = 88 wheels… 
looks like 8 in line to me I may be wrong

So do I, thus 176 tyres 
I once had a much shorter version of that and was asked by an escorting policeman ‘can’t to you go any faster’ after I told him ‘it says 45 mph on each tyre and if you want to crawl under all that lot to change them, I’ll go as fast as you like’.

I read in my American forum that many drivers over there hold the Scanias in high esteem. That might have something to do with scarcity but I was surprised to learn that it was a Volvo./Mack partnership that imported the early ones.
I am not really up with all these big company shenanigins but I suppose that the Mack/Renault tie up in the States and the Volvo Renault tie up in Europe had something to do with it. 
Plant carriers?
I`ve seen F1cars with more ground clearance than them.
