I got to see a nice truck come through Sherman, NY today carrying an oversized load. It was no where near that big but had the escorts and was a heavy haul trailer with jeep and stinger so it was quite long. I had an aerial view of it which was nice as I was at the window of the second floor at the street as it drove by (old time buildings right on top of the street)

Dave I was on a small job with a contractor taking out some super I beams from a bridge. They were inch and a half thick with a 48 inch web and and the palates were 12 wide. I had a yng lowboy driver asking why we thought we could haul it on a set of Jeep axles when they said they weighed in at 250 000 pounds each. He wondered till the truck came in and we started unloading. They are known by other names to and by their configurations. Ive not been around them enough to know them all.
I have a friend that hauls wind turbine blades. We hese the taildriver. he has an old Frieghtliner cab over with the cab removed and the fith wheel sits a bit more forward thant the standard truck. the operator sits beside the frame right behind the steering wheel and infront of the front tandem.
He steers over the wide corners and crab steers when passing. This winter Im gonna help put and automatic transmission in another one to make the shifting easier.
