anybody ever pull two 40' trailers before, early 80's worked for UPS driving my own truck ohio turnpike, would pick-up and drop trailers at every exit of the turnpike, pulling two at a time. make your way across the state and back, only for the christmas rush, 4or5 times a season you pulled triples

I've pulled two 28' pups many a mile. Nothing more exciting when the wind is gusting around 30 to 40 mph. Talk about the back trailer whipping!! This is in Central KS where the wind blows! LOL! Bob

I pulled a 48 up front with a 28 behind. Lots of times it was interesting. Bud

Pulled header trailers behind combines for many miles on harvet for 3 of those years. All on pintle hitches at the time. hooked to tandem grain truck.
It's not windy till you get to WY. A calm day there in the winter is 40 mph wind. Windy is 60 plus.

Never had to pull doubles or triples. Our company had a lot of 13'6" -53 footers and a empty trailer in a 45 MPH side wind you would see air between tire and pavement.
