just a tow. No biggie

It may look odd to those that don't know what it is, bu once you know, it's perfectly logical. The trucks are being delivered to either a dealership or a customer. The pickup is the personal vehicle the driver will use to either get home, or get to the next location where he'll pick up another two rigs to deliver. The transport unit with the pickup on it lets the driver take his vehicle with him without having to tow the two rigs piggy-back style. This is easier than having to use a crane to remove a towed rig with the steer axle attached to the front uint's fifth wheel, and cheaper than having to take a bus or plane home once the rigs are delivered.

its very strange

its saving the gas and money too

Passions has it right..




that is how they deliver 2 truck in to a remote place or no airport amongst other things..

#7 has one of the answers here is another . I have actually done this.. teamsters local150

they are connected via a device called a tru-hitch, the pick up is a pilot car. these trucks drlivered something like a manufactured home or mobile construction offices . this configuration saves alot in fuel cost and permits... been there ,, done that

nice!!
