Ah yeah, I only ever see full trailers in this configuration:

Not really common practice to hook them up to a conventional "tractor" (we call it a "saddle" truck here), usually they're hooked up to the type of truck where there's a fixes trailer as well (as seen on the picture)

Might just have something to do with length limitations in the EU compared to the US (it's also why we have cabovers rather than the cool looking US trucks)

    Canada, they allow 2 semi trailers hooked together, a "B-train", B trains make much more sense, unlike A trains and your picture, they can be backed up easily (with a skilled operator) around a corner. I could manage backing up both those conveyances in your picture, but the bottom one would come fairly easy, the top one would take a fair bit of practise.
