Very cool, I dig this one, thx. The dual tractor rig is interesting,
how does that work? 2 drivers? With a locomotive on rails, no
steering is required, but a tractor trailer rig, someones got some
explaining to do- lol.
Arizona allows triples, I think, but frankly, I have never seen one.
But then, i work a lot and do not drive the freeways a lot, so they may
exist.
