The truck format
What is a truck and dog?
A truck and dog tipper combines a rigid tipper truck with a separate dog trailer. The truck and trailer have independent tipping bodies, allowing a carrier to move a larger combined quantity than a rigid tipper alone when the route and sites are suitable.
The combination needs more access and manoeuvring space than a bogie or 10 wheeler. Legal payload and suitability must be confirmed for the individual vehicle, material, route and operating conditions.
