Often, they take on their 1.200 or so litres of fuel (about 330 US gallons) and don't stop again till they need more. Given the huge weight of these things, how would you get one moving from a stand still without burning out the clutch? There's a cunning trick to it.



Yes you give way to them otherwise you will sit up front with the little dog.
