I don’t usually see them transported on the front axle like that.  It seems like it wouldn’t be hard to end up over GAWR doing it with the front down.

Truck C is delivering truck A and the driver is coming back on truck B.

I don’t remember seeing this arrangement before, but I think I’ve seen it twice in the past month (both times heading west  on I-84 in or near the Columbia River gorge)

The front axle won’t be holding any more weight than it would normally. The only difference between the truck being held up as it is and having the rear axles on the ground is that the weight of the rear is being supported by the towing apparatus  instead of the rear axles.  I’m just curious as to whether the horse collar on the truck is able to support that load in tension as opposed to its usual loading of having a heavy trailer loading it in compression, or if they have to put some type of transport mechanism to move it like that.

And that, Johnny, is how baby trucks are made.

Can I insert a joke here about “Two Volvos scissoring”?
