They drag with both no trailer and with trailer....The way some of those rigs just jump up in the air at the start line they must be set with a full payload(certian weight)..kinda cool to watch

the single rear axle tractors,(single screw) even if they have air ride, without a trailer, is one hell of a bumpy ride. i can't even imagine riding in one going more than 45mph, on a smooth road.
the tractors with 2 rear axles,(twin screw) aren't bad at all, especially with air ride.
but once you are pulling a trailer, it's a different world all together. the trailer really smooths out the ride whether it's a single or double axle.
 
You should see 'em on the Pikes Peak hillclimb...

Make no mistake about it....nothing like a semi tractor sliding around a curve on a mountain road at over 90+ mph....:hell:
