Should be a friction drive on the rear axles.

As I recall, it's a little more complicated than it appears. They (or maybe a different company) have a planetary drive in the hirail hub for trucks. So driving forward results in the hirail gear also driving forward. The hirail wheels should also have brakes on them since the rubber tires aren't on the rail like many pickups.
