    What's the name for those intermodal trailers with the built in single axle that is hauled raised in front? Seems they are for dropping off without port equipment. I'll see one maybe once a Month

    It's got the axle embedded in the back bottom tip, and they hook lift it. It looks like a container otherwise. It rides with the front lifted.

    I think you’re talking about the portable tanks. They set flat on the ground but have an axle all the way at the rear. They are never moved loaded. They are for on site storage of liquids that are pumped off to actual tanker trucks

    Frac tank, portable storage tank that needs a winch on the tractor to lift it onto the tractor.

    I worked at a company with a public tank wash and they suplied jack stands that let us move them around with the yard switcher and raising the front helped it drain
