I think that they put the ramps in the rear so that when loading, the cars drove forward.
I don't think, look closely, the 3 car holders on top are not connected. Looks like you would have to unload the back 2 cars (top and bottom), remove the back car holder and then set up that ramp to get the middle one on or off. It would take a long time to load and unload. Car haulers have come a long way.

Even then they had hydraulics on the trailers. The top rear was raised to unload the two bottom cars. The top rear was then lowered and the long ramps used in the picture was used to unload the top rear. With that deck lowered short ramps were used to connect the two top decks to unload the front top car. BTW, when they loaded these, they also attached short ramps between between the front top deck and the rack above the cab. The car above the cab was always first loaded.
When I worked the piggy back ramp, the same ramp was used to unloads cars from the train cars and then loaded on the trucks.
