Where I am, they are often used to move farm equipmnt, but not on a trailer. They strap 2, 2000 lb concrete blocks to the frame over the axle, for traction, and then use them for moving pin hitch farm equipment. “A trains” are also not “semi” trailers, least the back one, and the triple trailers you see UPS and hay farmers use in the west half are full trailers.
Ah yeah, I only ever see full trailers in this configuration:
Not really common practice to hook them up to a conventional “tractor” (we call it a “saddle” truck here), usually they’re hooked up to the type of truck where there’s a fixes trailer as well (as seen on the picture)
Might just have something to do with length limitations in the EU compared to the US (it’s also why we have cabovers rather than the cool looking US trucks)
True , forgot about that. Then again, how often do you see that type of truck pull anything other than a semi trailer? I don’t think I ever have
