Wouldn't that be a little hard to emergency stop?
You have probably 60,000 LBS of cars a 12,000lb tractor and a 30,000 lb trailer at a minimum. Ridding on 6 axles. But more realistically the cars would weight 75,000 12,000 tractor and 40,000 for the trailer. Still under 20,000 per axle. An allowable weight even By USDOT standards with permits. But would never get a permit in the USA since it is a divisible width and length loadQuote:

Veteran Truckers rarely ever allow themselves to get in panic stop situations unless some suicidal idiot cuts in front of them then gouges on their brakesQuote:
