Is there a difference in the driving dynamics between a truck pulling a trailer with wheels mounted on twin central axles and those with a single turning axle at one end?

Is there a reason why a haulage company would prefer one over the other?

Cheers,

Thank you, that is what I meant.

I've often wondered, are the A frame type ones more of a liability when braking - as in the potential to jack-knife the vehicle?
