    Is there a concept of locking differentials in semis? Can you lock the axles or they are open all the time? Please bear with me, I want to learn.

    I have sung it more than once in the middle of the night while running around up here. Giggling like a mental patient.

    The basics on "lockers" in semis:

    Many road trucks are now equipped with an inter-differential lock. Only locks the front tandem to the back tandem. Typically no locks left to right. Can be useful in limited circumstances.

    Trucks ordered for a more non-highway environment (Dump trucks or truck used to deliver equipment) may sometimes be equipped with a second lock or 2 for left right locking.
