I remember reading something about bob-tailing empty was a bear to drive.

Look close, I believe we can see the 5th Wheel.

Thanks for pointing that out. I don't see a 5th wheel...or can't make it out. So,is that a trailer that's sitting behind it a ways back and something else. I thought all that was part of it and maybe it was some sort of ready-mix rig closer?
