I was on the highway  the other day and saw something I haven’t seen in a few years. It was a tractor trailer without a cargo trailer. Instead, it was pulling a second tractor trailer, backwards. Like, towing it. I don’t know if there was something wrong with the second rig, or if maybe they were traveling together to save fuel or something. who knows, right?

But it got me to thinking about specialized tow trucks. I mean, are there tow trucks specifically built for towing big rigs? Is there a market for these things. And what about, like, towing small aircraft, or rv towing, or limo towing. Think about those crazy Hummer limos. Wouldn’t you need a specially made vehicle of some stripe to pull one of those monstrosities. Actually, considering that your standard Hummer gets about 6 miles to the gallon or so, it might make more sense to tow it.
