I dont think ive ever heard of a tractors trailer ever having a "swivel" under it. this isnt a fire trucks trailer, how would the driver control the way the trailers wheels turn? doesnt make sense.

Take it from an expert ...ME!!! I drive these things for a living what shiloh saw was called over swing ...try not too lose me here. The rear tandems (those are the wheels in the back) are on a track they move forward and backward depending on the weight and too maneuver in tight spaces. His were all the way forward leaving about 15 feet of over swing when the driver turned right his rear end kicked left in front of shiloh and there you have a panic stop. Good job btw dude

There are always gonna be stupid drivers out there. If you ask someone whos never been in an accident they'll give you 3 reasons. 1) I pay attention to what I'm doing, 2) I pay attention to what everyone ELSE is doing and pretend they're out to kill me, and 3) Ive been lucky
knock on wood buddy, i said the same thing before i got my first (and only) traffic ticket.

yep those are expandable trailers, they actually use the product (in this case pipe) as the trailer frame. Kinda awesome if your into it.
