Probably a Silly Question
But..... Why don't they separate dual-trailer axles and make them more like car/truck axles? Like put one near the front and another near the rear? Seems like they would be more stable then too.

Trailer axles don't have a differential. Thus, if they put the axles at each end of the frame, it would be very hard to make turns, especially tight ones.
Having the axles close together (in the middle of the frame) creates a pivot point for turning.
