Mimic truck physics - can't get my head around it

[cjke.7777]

Hey guys - pretty open question. Have googled and searched here to no avail.

What i have is a basic driving engine that i am happy with but i want to add trucks (and the like, ie cars with trailers etc).

I can't seem to get my head around it, and this is just on paper, but i am thinking that the trailer of the truck rotates the opposite way that the truck does but on its own pivot point, but the connection point never seperates.

I guess i am having trouble putting this in code or even on paper.

any ideas? not too stressed about code, just some psudo examples is cool

thanks
