None of the tractors, including mine, in our three flatbed divisions have
that.

It certainly exists, but it's by no means standard.

I'm sorry to hear that. IMHO, none of the tractors in your fleet are
properly equipped to pull flatbed. -Dave

That's an illusion. The 'extremists' that you see fall pretty much within
a narrow band. However, they're loud and furious and generate a lot of
smoke and heat, so it looks like there's something going on, while in
actuality, the status quo is being maintained. The
'liberal'/'conservative' paradigm is actually a sybiosis: take away one
'side' and the other would cease to exist.

Sorry. I was thinking the rear axle was about where the front axle
would be on tandems all the way back.

Forgive me for being concrete here, but there's no such thing as a
'partial truth'. It's an attempt to obfuscate and deceive, just the same.
And it doesn't really matter what you call it, because the end is to
concentrate power and wealth into the hands of a few, while maintaining
the happy illusion among the population that they, too, have power and
wealth.
