How to Piggy Back Semi Trucks for Transport
Piggybacking semi trucks is done by attaching them using the fifth wheel hitch. That means the front of each semi truck is attached to the hitch of the one before it while its rear wheels touch the ground. When done properly, the semi trucks will be safe until the final destination. The process is very simplified since regular trailers such as lowboys and flatbeds are not used. Instead, the semi trucks accommodate each other up to a maximum of four. However, that number can be smaller depending on the size of the semi-trucks. Always tell your logistics agent whether the maximum limit will be four or three semi-trucks. Another advantage of using piggyback transportation is that a single driver is able to transport several semi-trucks on a single trip, which reduces costs.
