Rather odd, at least, single axle truck and a triaxle trailer. Mustn't be carrying too much, I suppose.

it says training on the side...

not being a smart alec... lol that looked bad in print.

Nice idea but I shudder to think of an American highway filled with them, all being driven by American truck drivers. It conjures up this mental image of trailers swinging back and forth like badminton rackets whilst little Honda Fits are being swatted about like shuttlecocks.

OTOH I would dearly love to see an American highway populated trucks emulating the Euro style. Much lower center of gravity, very efficient looking aerodynamically (compared to the current US stuff), headlight and bumper heights the same as ordinary automobiles. And, at least in my limited European experience, driven at much more sane speeds.

I would just like to see less trucks on the road and more (very efficient) trains running.

If the rail infrastructure here in the US had been updated and improved upon over time (like the phone system was), then trains would be faster and more often used. Atleast, I think it would be that way.

And if they hadn't ripped out most of the tracks and converted them to bike paths and snowmobile trails. Roads would be in better shape too without all the heavy trucks pounding them to death.
