    Decked is a term for trailers/ trucks that fully loaded on another trailer or partially loaded. A log truck trailer is decked when mty. Or a maxi pup can be decked.

    Drivers hauling decked/piggy back truck must have a doubles/triples endorsement , drivers with multi axle lowbeds/RGNs with a dolly such as a 2+2+2 must also have the endorsement,,

    So in another words if I have decked trucks ( tractors) that do not use a coupling device. Just the Tractor with 3 trucks behind me decked. So I need no doubles and Triple endorsements?

    ty for the replies
