    Yep, you're right. They sure look like 53s when they roll by though...

    I'd think that there wouldn't be enough speed difference there to get an entire trailer over the top of the trailing vehicle.

    Moving loaded truck vs stopped truck. Plenty of speed difference.

    In this case yes, but I was responding to the comment that this may have been a failed platooning experiment. Platooning generally requires the trucks to be moving along at the same speed.
