Todd: Gosh is it just you, CNKS, Allan and I that are around here this afternoon. I guess the Super Bowl guys don't have time to come up for air. Your question at hand, small tractor trailers. Back in the 1970 I had a rig on my farm, Chevy C-70 single axle tractor, very little difference in wheel base from a pickup, yet air brakes. I had 2 trailers; a drop deck 40' (includes both decks) and a 32' flat bed. Both these trailers were tandem axles. At grain time I rented a tanden axle aluminum dump trailer only 20'. There were a lot of like outfits on the road back then, and most of the manufacturers of single axle tractors were IH, GM and Ford, many of them were diesel and air brakes. By todays standards those would look close to 1/2 size, many of them were, although most were closer to 5/8 size. They were very efficient little trucks, most could haul payloads of 20 ton, and get 8-9 mpg doing it. I have heard of some of the newer diesels making 10 mpg. I could haul both my 1066 and 656 together on that drop deck trailer.
