I watched it last night. I presume you mean the Sri Lankan guy.

Unimpressed with the scriptwriter's knowledge. The trailer had "six" axles. Admittedly some trucks do have a short axle on either side of a trailer with a pair of wheels, but this appeared to be a fairly standard three axle trailer.

You could tell the state of the roads from the damage done tosome of those trailers.

So, the speed was in kph. The 60 kph (or 40 kph the UK trucker was restricted too) did make for a long journey time. The fact that at one time one truck was doing around 20 kph would explain the short journeys (by UK standards).
