OT- Strange Stacks

So this isn't about our trucks, but I've seen some semi trucks with dual stacks with one that is sort of routed to the trailer. It's weird. The one stack sort of loops around into a flex hose that goes into the trailer- seems to usually be a loose material type trailer as opposed to a freight box. What's up with these?

That is for a heated box. I the winter it keeps the material from freezing and sticking to the sides of the dump bed.

Never seen that before around here, but then it hardly ever freezes in Seattle.

They can be found on most tri-axle dumps around here and keep the asphalt hot on the way to the job site.

Ah ha! I was figuring something like that. All about salvaging as much energy from the combustion cycle I guess. You make it, you might as well use it.
