That's actually a simple truck, not a trailer truck. The second wheel behind the gas tank is either a steering axle or a tag axle. |

Most probably a Peterbilt of some kind ... |

What's a tag axle? |
|

A tag axle is a free-rotating axle behind the drive axle which is not part of the drivetrain. Trucks use tag axles for load-bearing purposes. |

A tag axle is a dead axle to comply local road legal to distribute the weight on the street. Some tag axle can be lower to adjust the weight distribute when loaded.

Looks like a Freightliner FLC from the late 80s with a set back axle. Speaking of axles, the axle behind the fuel tank is a tag axle and might also be an air powered lift axle to carry extra weight depending on how much weight that truck is carrying in the dump body. Some dump trucks used in the vocational or regional market such as this one use set back axles for more payloads as well as a tighter turning radius. |
