I think in the case of the blue tipper the long drawbar also allows the driver to reverse and almost jackknife the trailer round, so that the truck body can be tipped and simply driven forward . The trailer then is just pulled past the tipped load, saving the driver from having to uncouple the trailer.

I saw a similar outfit tipping on a big road project when in Canada.
