    Con-Way, Fedex, and ABF run pups on city routes.

    We don't though. No accounts that require spotted trailers.

    I used to be Con-way, or XPO, or whatever they're calling it this week.

    I pull doubles, rocky mountain doubles, and even triples for local P&D. My delivery and pickup area is over 50 miles from my barn.

    If you ever get a chance to do it, you better know where the hell you are going and what you are doing. If you find yourself lost with triples, it can easily end up with you breaking your entire set in the worst possible area (on a public roadway with you blocking the flow of traffic)

    Many states restrict triples except on designated roads.

    Triples aren't even legal in MD.

    The nearest states that are legal for triples are Ohio and New York, and IIRC they're only legal on the toll roads.

    Triples are legal in four or five states. I am allowed to pull them up to two miles off of the interstate where I live. Just far enough to get me to my drop lot

    Triple trailers are only allowed on the Ohio Turnpike. They are not allowed on the New York State Thruway.

    Hmmm... It appears you're right.

    Now there's a head scratcher. Why would New York allow turnpike doubles, but not triples?:biggrin_25520:
