Hi there!
I live in Mexicali, Mexico and we have a Kenworth and a Peterbuilt Plant (brands of trucks for the US market). So in here, it’s rather common to see a truck pulling another and another truck. The maximum that I has seen, I think, its four of them.

It’s cabover trucks piggybacked and its common practise for delivery of trucks.
they connect to the fifth wheel of the truck in front of them and all pivot.
they also deck trucks and two trailers onto another truck with two trailers and head north for a load.
the pp trailer of one set is put onto the lead trailer and they are strapped down to the lead trailer of the drive unit and the truck is backed onto the pup and chained down and exhaust stack removed

I WORK FOR A COMPANY THAT PIGGY BACKS TRUCKS. IT CAN BE DANGEROUS IF CARS DO NOT WATCH WHERE THERE GOING! YOU HAVE TO HAVE A TRIPLE ENDORSMENT ON CDL. IT SAVE MONEY TRANSPORTING TRUCKS THIS WAY.IT PAYS GREAT TOO! DRIVE OUT AND FLY BACK TO GET YOUR NEXT LOAD. AND YOU PICK YOUR RUNS TOO.

Here’s a bunch of the rigs waiting to be delivered. Just to the north is Kenworth’s Ohio facility.

@Mrb – now that is indeed a funny one! here for example, the shadows go in different directions just opposite each other on exactly the same bit of road!

@nathar – “artriplicated” lols, very good

load of old B****X!!

Now, that’s rich, if one must swear, one must swear well I love it!

What’s funny with that is that in the states, I could spell it out (but my family history would have prevented it)

Ah, that’s easy, when the satellite takes the picture, the flash makes the shadows, so when you get a picture in one place, and you compare it to pictures in another, sometimes the shadows are not aligned the way you think and it drives you nuts. It’s like when you look at down town New York and see the buildings that seem to be leaning in all directions, it’s caused by the satellite taking the pictures at different angles, and the shadows are caused by the flash.
