That is going to be a BIG diorama! I like the colors on the both eh truck & trailer. I agree that taking a good look at the trailer makers web site will help in the finish model.
Either remove the head board from the trailer or simply add another one to the truck. Looking forward to see where you go with this one.

The trailer is based on a 1:1. more or less pup/paper wood for(WBT Worlds Best Trucking). The trailers are new and have floats Now I'm seeing more and of there trucks with floats,looks kinda funky.
used the lowboy for the boggy and ramps for bumper. since I was trimming the bushes well I loaded it up.

excellent project to contemplate. I think a whole lot of the enjoyment in modeling is lookig at a project and planning changes or updates.

A suggestion on the tridem at the rear of the trailer, remove the suspension from the lowboy frame rails & add a sub frame with 3/8" plastruct or evergreen i beams. this will raise up the back of the trailer enough to get it to sit parallel with the ground.
