If the tanker (trailer part) had no legs then it could be driven by a driver with a C licence as it couldn’t be taken apart in service. In the bus world you don’t need a D+E for a bendy bus for precisely that reason.
Never knew that but it makes sense when you think about it.
As it stands I imagine legs or not the driver will have a C+E. I have driven a road train, one of those cartoon locomotives with 2 carriages that you see on your jollies in Spain and what not. Now I only have a D licence without the E bit so I cant tow a heavy trailer behind a bus but I am legal for the train. Seems odd to me.
Snap the feet off and crack on.
I was once sent to pick a trailer up from a farm in north norfolk that had been dropped there earlier in the day and when I got there it was on slight incline nose facing downwards.
Anyway it was too sunny and hot so sat around the corner in the shade whilst they loaded it. Whilst loading, the trailer moved forward bending the legs. The loaders quickly lifted the trailer up and got me to back under it.
I got a large rachet off the farmer and i set about removing the whole leg assembly and only had to grind 1 stubborn bolt off.
When they finished loading me, they lifted the legs in the back door and off I went down to Weston super mare, tipped and reloaded and then straight back to Norfolk where i dropped the trailer on a set of stands and carried on with my day.
There is no stipulation that I know of that a trailer has to have a set of legs when your moving around the roads.
