    Someone correct me if I'm wrong---but years ago when i first saw them in Cali--
    It was explained to me--the old west coast length laws created this---since a tractor trailer combo could only be so long
    But there was another classification called Truck-Trailer and it allowed for a longer overall length--
    Therefore the drom box--due to the length of the truck(drom) they could then pull a longer trailer.
    Also if I'm not mistaken--it was the brainchild of either CF or PIE originally?

    PIE used to run the Drom Box. CF stated with trucks and trailers and then went over to doubles units.
