John unless you took this pic yourself, I'm calling BS on it, look very closely at the pic, the shadows on from the truck and trailer don't look right and that truck is sitting level, not squatted one little bit, no load on the tires at all, the trailer alone would make that truck sit down alot more in the back
Unloaded trailers will make a truck squat. When loading a trailer, you can make the trailer do anything you want it to. I rolled my van a few times down the interstate because I foolishly had basically no tongue weight (and no trailer brakes, oops). Unless I'm hauling heavy I will load my gooseneck to actually remove some of the unloaded tongue weight from my truck so it rides a little better (it's pretty heavy).
I looked at the shadows and I didn't really notice any differences. I used to know a guy that worked in the strip pits and he said that he had used his dually to move equipment on semi lowboys, he used a dolly to set the trailer on. These newer trucks have more power than older semi's did, if you just go slow enough you can get it stopped.
