Best Answer

Large comercial trucks In North America, Lorry in Europe, generally have two (or more ) rear axles. This causes the tires to resist tight turn, causes tire wear and makes the truck make much wider longer turns.

If the rear axle steers it reduces the turn size, reduces tire wear and in general makes the truck easier to drive in tight spaces.
