Speeking of triples... I-15 N in Idaho, 108 yardstick. 3rd trailer on its side, 2nd partially in the ditch, 1st trailer and tractor couple hundred feet further down the road on shoulder.
Crappy photo... Only had a few seconds while stopped.
D.Tibbitt, motocross25 and Grumppy Thank this. -
Triples(105 ft)have restrictions in the states they are allowed. Visibility 500ft, winds 40 mph and roads free of ice and snow. Oregon pulls them Washington doesn't.
stwik, Ryan423, motocross25 and 1 other person Thank this. -
Can someone please explain to me the triples rule as far as getting them to the turnpike? I always thought you could only build and break triple sets on the larger parking areas next to a turnpike, but I see them going through KC on the Missouri side all the time. And it’s by the larger LTL carriers and Foodservice suppliers so I wouldn’t THINK they’d be like “oh well we’re close enough &#@% it”. Maybe each state and municipality is different I was just curious.

I've run p&d pulling trains. Start at 1 end of the state and end up at the other border. Had trailers scattered all over the state. What a guy will do for a buck.
