I would think in NY doubles would be plenty......LOLdoubles all I do here
they are called turbpike doubles...i dont think they are legal in many states...the dollys have 8 wheels instead of 4
and thats a UPS set of triples behind it
here in indiana, triples are only allowed on the toll road.....ive pulled doubles and wouldnt really want to pull triples
Yep! That's exactly what it looks like. I was awed the first time I saw it on I-25 south of Denver near Colorado Springs as a Target Greatland distribution run. Again, I never saw UPS pulling two 48' that I can recall. There are a couple posters here that either work for UPS as feeder / package car drivers in Colorado OR have family that do. I'll yield to them on UPS' practices if they know.
Sounds right on all counts. I read a post on BC by a feeder driver in Colorado that mentioned triples. This was a couple years ago, by the way. S/he said that a driver could decline to pull triples but I don't recall if there was a weather factor included in that. Regardless, I have enough trouble driving a sedan. I can't imagine driving a semi, never mind one pulling doubles or trips! lol. -Rocky
Curious how many people on here pull trip's like I do here in Oklahoma and what states allow them besides Okla and on the turnpikes in Kansas?????
We also pull double 48's some have pintel hooks on the rear and some don't depending on the series..
No declining trips here......if u got 3 then u got 3..we can refuse to pull them in inclement weather but they usually don't ask us too.
That's probably what I was thinking of. In Oklahoma you probably don't have a major problem with ice but in Colorado and the rest of the West, that's a major concern. -Rocky
