Technical term needed
Is there a term used for tractors pulling two more behind like this?: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedi...kepackCrop.JPG
(My obvious lack of trucking knowledge on full display here haha!)

The whole truck I was driving started to feel like the azz end was loose Got out to check and found a loose saddle on the front truck Second time the saddle slid back till it found a cross member and stopped That was the last time I trusted someone else to tighten the u bolts on my saddles so I started carrying a big azz crescent wrench with me Got lots of looks on the plane when I flew to get trucks

Re: Technical term needed
Any more we get alot of our trucks this way. It's kind of fun to see how long it takes to get a driver in and out of the shop. Every body wants to see the new toys so we drop what were doing someone grabs the crane controls, some body gets to each corner to put in the axles and hang tires if necassary. Usually we can put 1 on the ground ready to drive off in under 15 minutes kinda like a slow NASCAR pit stop lol.
