There are other laws to consider like physics and geometry.
Lyndon nice load, tractors and hauler. I used this same method many times especially when I had short trailers with longer load.
Barring breakage or failure you could hook a crane to one those tractors and lift everything, well maybe unhook truck first.
So unless your tractor can bend in half or tie down points tear off like you said they won't move.
Excuse my rough drawings but hopefully illustrates that they can't move. The math doesn't lie. If someone wants to model this all that would be necessary is 2 2x4's or furring strips about 6'-8' long attached near center of each to form an x. Plant lower 2 ends in some soft ground, then attempt to lift either upper (or both) ends and notice what happens. Or to be more elaborate attach the lower ends to the floor then attach another 2x4 each end to the top edges of the x and remove center attachment or pivot of the x. then try lifting and notice again what happens. One of the fixed points has to move either on the tractor or trailer to lift the tractor off.
By the way I have been inspected at DOT checkpoints when using this method and merrily been sent on my way without issue.

After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
