The article left me with more questions than answers but at least it is an attempt.

For one, is a single axel propelling the entire rig at that point?

    Yeah that’s a bit longer I’d say haha. I assume they don’t have to back up 3 trailers though so they? Just set it down pull forward and back individual units up?

    They mentioned Australia in the original article, I had just figured it was because a large span of sun lit area that people didn’t want to have to traverse often so it was set routes, but damn

      Most everything is designed to be pull-through for obvious reasons, but yes, I’ve seen them being backed up.

      I don’t know of any country outside of Oz that uses B Triples (3 trailers), but Canada also uses B doubles (two trailers).

        I used to see them in the U.S. more, but it’s rare now. (Doubles) Never triples. Then again a lot of them I’d see were usually on 81, so they could have been heading north/south from shipments in and out of Canada
