I've gotta run roads like this in my transfer dump. I thought I had it hard getting into gas stations in a tanker...

I would love to do that!

Its kind of difficult to explain how they work but essentially the logs stretch across the bunks which pivit on the truck and the trailer. When loafing they unlatch a hoop on the tounge of the trailer that holds a rod (compinsating bar) that slides into the tounge. As the truck turns the rear of the frame/stinger, 6+ feet behind the center of the drivers, steers the tounge of the trailer in the opposite direction and the trailer will follow the trucks tracks. This is why they need the compensation bar as it slides in and out of the tounge on the turn. This is the same truck the OP posted and you can kinda see what Im talking about.

No big deal. I spent a lot of years doing that and still do it occasionally when we're short of drivers.
The road pictured is actually a decent one. Picture that same road after a hard rain or with snow on it.AModelCat, not4hire and Toomanybikes Thank this. -
