TRACTOR-TRAILER COMBINATIONS

BECAUSE THE CREATION OF A NETWORK OF HIGHWAYS IN THE FAR EAST, SIBERIA AND KAZAKHSTAN IS A MATTER OF MANY YEARS WORK AND VERY EXPENSIVE, THE USE OF TRACTOR- TRAILER COMBINATIONS WILL BE CONSIDERED FOR TRANSPORTING COAL, IRON ORE, DIAMONDS AND TIMBER FROM THESE REGIONS. THE SIMPLEST METHOD IS TO ATTACH TRAILERS TO A CROSS COUNTRY TRACTOR; HOWEVER, THERE IS THE PROBLEM OF SLIPPAGE OCCURRING IF THE WEIGHT OF THE LOAD IS GREATER THAN THAT OF THE TRACTOR. /AUTHOR/
