    Strictly a west coast / Rocky mountains unit (although it would probably be legal all across Canada....). Too much weight in too short a distance for my state. Also, who wants to back that mess up around heavy traffic?

    Rarely see em back
    Typically stop near job site…drop transfer trailer.,,go dump.,.
    Come back…back to transfer bed.,,winch it into dump… go dump
    Then transfer back on frame..,hook pointless and ride
    In Nevada I’ve seen many pulling 2 transfers behind truck axle

    The ones I have seen around Utah have real long tongue on trailer.
    I have also seen them jack the trailer to almost 45 degree ,dump truck pull forward and transfer and dump
    Haul mostly road base and asphalt.
