A semi is rated to tow tens of thousands of pounds, so this is absolutely nothing for one to do. And sometimes you need to transport multiple semi's to a destination but don't need multiple drivers to do it. This is probably the easiest/cheapest way to do it.
40,000-50,000 pounds is a standard load. 80,000 combined weight is what they don't want to be over when they hit a weigh station.
