    You are probably referring to the length of the trailers. 5 feet added to get the outer bridge length long enough to scale more. Plenty of single axle tractors pulling dump wagons, and they need the length to gross more.

    Some of them run single axle tractors, claim in the long run they net more money. Fewer tires, better fuel economy, one less rear to replace, lower mt weight, etc.
