I guess I assumed to know what she meant.

I have yet to see a trailer, Swift or her little outfit's, pulling another trailer. Y'all needs a tractor, pal.
She said, "any of the three trailers".
The third trailer in a triple does not always track very well and can swing all over the place during a lane change. They may be cheaper to operate but can be quite hazardous to others on the road.
charlie hebdo Shadow the Cats owner you will see a Swift Trailer pulling any of the 3 trailers going down the road. That must be quite a sight to behold! Sure saves on fuel.

THREE trailers? Does it at least have a caboose?
Yes, but...
Thanks to Chris / CopCarSS for my avatar.
Under the eyes of the FMCSA they are still considered 2 different carriers with seperate DOT#'s insurance plans and by LAW different BOD's unless they are fully merged then they are considered the same carrier. Trust me Jerry Moyers does the same thing to protect his butt with his Central Refrigerated Knight and Swift carriers all are legally owned by him but have the same differences listed above and legally are considered 3 different carriers even though you will see a Swift Trailer pulling any of the 3 trailers going down the road. The same thing with the Crete pair Crete and Shaffer legally 2 different carriers. It's a holdover from the ICC days that still affects the OTR industry in terms of paperwork.
My bosses acid tanker fleet is considered a different carrier by the FMCSA when I file the IFTA paperwork I literally have to file 2 full sets of it one for the van and puenmatics and one for the acid boys. Yet they are maintained in the same shop as the rest of the fleet. Oh yeah the paperwork can be fun at times dealing with the FMCSA and DOT.
Shadow the Cats ownerBoth of you need to read the sides of the containers again they are a joint venture between FFE and KLLM combined those are less than 10 percent of the combined trailers of the 2 companies about 10 percent of their trades for the year combined.
Oh, good grief. KLLM and FFE are the same company under common private ownership. The FFE brand has been retained for specialized operations, such as refrigerated LTL. The FFE over the road operations, which are what is rail compatible, were merged in to KLLM six years ago.
Those are KLLM refrigerated rail containers.
