How is one supposed to pass when (surprise!) you can't see the front of the train and little to almost no spacing to pass incrementally? How are you supposed to know if the train is turning left or widely to the right with a million blinking lights on each tractor? What about mud and liquid manure flying off the tires? What about oncoming poorly lit Amish buggys? How about deer or dead deer or bear or dead bear? How much do you think they care about management regulations when they can't be bothered with transportation fundamentals before they get to their destination?
Maybe we could ask the semi driver how it happened--but he's dead now--Killed at an intersection after rear-ending a tractor-tank rig.

I see! You're talking about these guys rolling in Fendt tractors with a spray tank behind them. You mention "a million blinking lights" so they're clearly running lights. I'm not seeing what "transportation fundamental" they're not abiding by. Maybe call the local sheriff if they aren't abiding by traffic law. I've never witnessed these trains of tanks. Most of the guys around here use miles of drag line to pump from the CAFO to the tractor in the field.
