The weight of the trailer and the D8R is 106,000 pounds but that is divided by 6 axles and most of the weight on the trailers axles.
There are no other support on the trailer. The trucks suspension was beefed up for the picture if it had not the truck would have sagged really really bad.

There is no air between the truck and trailer at least in the picture. what you are seeing i am guessing is the tool box or the fenders that we made for the Lowboy. We have Stainless steel ones on the truck that pulls that huge trailer and then we welded the ones on the neck of the lowboy. I will have to get some pictures of the proper truck that pulls that trailer. Its a beast all in its self. Anyway the actual kingpin for the trailers is resting on my extra high goose neck ball. just so that i can say it is. Not much weight at all on actual truck. Yes the truck frame would break like tooth pics if all that weight was on there but hey it is a dodge Cummings it can do anything.
Lets see a ford or Chevy hook to this thing.

The pic was on there for fun. Obviously the truck would break in half if i actually put all the weight of the trailer and D8 on my truck. I would not be able to move it for 2 reasons. One my truck does not have air brakes, and there is not way to move that trailer unless i had them and Two if the weight was on the truck i am afraid to say that "It would break like toothpicks". yes i did have some weight on the truck but not much at all. Think about it our truck are built to handle how much payload. Not real sure maybe 2000lbs in the bed, and that Trailer with the D8 on it weights alone 106,000lbs. Sorry for the confusion. I was just having fun. Hope everyone enjoyed the pictures. 
Maybe someone should post them on the ford site. Someone over there might try it to
