    yesterday in baltimore i saw this truck pulling a three axle rgn and pusher axle connected to the trailer king pin and to the truck fifth wheel making the truck a tri axle

    After a while when i was leaving saw the same truck empty with the pusher axle lifted.this setup didnt add to much length and it looked very cool.
    What u call the pusher and where can i get one?thx

    Like was mentioned its a joe dog single axle jeep and yes a lot of canadian companies run them out west here. They get chained/pinned to the trailer neck when empty.

    I have before, never been bothered. Mine I jump on the ramps on my truck. Or you can chain them up off the ground.
