Technical term needed

[pigeonfarmboy]

Is there a term used for tractors pulling two more behind like this?: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/2/2c/HuckepackCrop.JPG

(My obvious lack of trucking knowledge on full display here haha!)

Piggyback! At least that's what I call it. http://autotrucktransport.com/services/driveaway/

Yep that's what it's called
I used to haul a lot that way...
Had a few come loose on me also

How did that go over when they came loose? I can't even imagine.

I always called it piggyback as well. Guys around here say the same...

First time it happened I thought I blew a tandem
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

Thanks gents! This will be my first project when the shop is back up and running.

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.
