    Common................no.
    Rare.............no.
    I have a self steer 3° axle on my trailer.
    Depends on where you go.
    What your main delivery places are like.
     
    pushbroom, spsauerland and 98989 Thank this.

    In the video you posted the trailer has the same axle as a self steer.
    They just added a hydraulic steer system.
    I could do that to but there's no benefit for me(in my line off work)
