I came upon one years ago in Ohio and someone opened the back door(rollup) and a bunch of guys in military uniforms with weapons and one sitting at a desk with headphones on monitoring something that looked like a computer!
Hope they were our troops!

I programmed a project a few years ago for the Military where we designed 12 servers, banks of batteries, fans, communications, and 120V-480V power receptacles. Both semi trailers and box trailers that could be dropped by a plane. My part was programming all the equipment. Just enough room for one chair and a small fold-out table to hold a laptop. Not top secret anymore. Don't have any pictures, not allowed at the time.

What ever it was intended to transport it was designed to carry a pretty heavy load judging by the three sets of dual wheel axles.
It also appears to be a short trailer being pulled by tractor with a sleeper so my guess is it's not a garbage truck.

Several years ago I was in Michigan and asked why so many semi's up there had trailers with that many axles and they told me that it reduces the amount of weight per axle that impacts the road to reduce the amount of repair they have to do to the road with the freeze/thaw. Only thing I can think of looking at your picture.
There would be trailers up there with 4 and 5 axles on the trailer.

I mean he’s headed north and Michigan is north but that still doesn’t explain the unique trailer design I figured someone on here might know

The reason for so many axles and tires is for the weight they can carry.
Michigan has what are known as a Michigan train semi, they have 48 tires this allows them to carry heavier loads.
