3) Crane. Usually not that practical.
Usually there's no need for it, unless the trailer is out of action & needs repairs to make it roadworthy.

Right the one I saw today, the bottom one had a ledge/end on the kingpin end so if I truck had driven on the trailer it wouldn't have been able to get off and the both trailers were facing the same direction, must have been a crane.
I reckon some long distance firms might do it to save cost moving empty traliers around, being in the plant game might also explain the cranes?
