Disco towing a Dog Trailer (Caravan)

[W&KO]

You don’t see many dog trailer behind cars....Actually I’ve never seen one.

Might be a more stable platform....reversing would take some practice.

Yes, the freight companies wanted to carry more freight, employ fewer drivers and buy fewer trucks.

[Pedro_The_Swift]

hmm,, not really. B Doubles were brought in to stop the use of road train trailers that wandered too much for Metro areas.
same amount of freight, same amount of drivers.

Holding up traffic? Get out!

Originally towed by a Classic Rangie IIRC.

Seen a dog flat top around here some months ago. Also quite common setup for header comb trailers, often towed by a 4wd/light truck

Lots of "road trains" on metro freeways/arterial roads nowadays. Have Long Vehicle signs instead of the road train ones.

The old CRB (Country Roads Board) used cabins built on dog trailers for their lunch rooms.
