I was excited and a little nervous since it was my first time.
I had to find a place to break it, take one trailer to Home Depot , comeback pick up the other trailer and continue with my route.
It was much easier than what I thought, BUT... I have to say,
driving on the highway is cool, but in the city, it's a whole different animal. A little more stressful. I couldn't wait to arrive to my destination and break the trailers.
All in all, I enjoyed the experience. Definitely something that will look nice on my resume once I decide to leave my current company.
I took out my first set of doubles today...

Steer gently. The "crack the whip" effect will bite you if you don't.

When I first started driving I asked an old timer if pulling doubles made him nervous. His reply - "Son, I never look behind me..."
He was joking, of course.heckclan, diesel drinker, MM3Deg and 6 others Thank this. -
