add commentComments:
Seattle currently has tandem axle tractor-tiller aerial ladder trucks, which are rather rare in North America, as the combined weight of tractor and aerial trailer does not mandate the additional axle. The only reason I can think of is to improve traction on the all too often rain soaked streets of the city.
