[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by dgwicks futuremodal: This is properly a trucking forum question, but ... Do you have the manufacturer and/or model name for the trailers with the integral front wheels and drawbar? I have never seen one. All of them that I have seen are a semi-trailer with a converter (what you call a dolly). Also, I have heard many times about guys who can back up a set of doubles but I have never had the chance to actually see it done. It has always been a friend-of-a-friend, so I think it is an urban legend! What terminal is it that this "guy from CP" works at? I would take vacation to go watch that in operation! [/quote] As to the first question, I don't have that information, but if I find the time I will look into it further. I am going by memory on that one. I did get a chance to examine a grain hopper trailer up close today and it is an integral unit. One can assume that other trailer types follow the same makeup. As for the CP operation, it is from their "Expressway" service. The person who told me of this ability to back a complete double combo onto the platform cars was one of their salespeople. The reason I got involved with them was an idea I was trying to pitch them that involved loading the trailers "head first" by use of a parallel tractor unit. If you are interested, call or email one of their Expressway reps and aks them for yourself. You can get that information from the CP website.
