    It's been a couple of years since I've been on Highway 11, but I can't think of any place you could pull off in a triple there if you had a problem. As I remember it, there weren't a lot of places that had room for a double.

    Co-op likes to pull a super-b set of tankers with a 53 footer behind on the stretch of 11 between regina and saskatoon, so this doesn't really seem to be too crazy of an idea

    Oh Bison will be all over this one. Save even more money. 3 trailers and only one driver. There paying .50 cpm now, so what are they going to pay that driver, .55-.60? Big savings for the company. I don't like it and hope the west wind blows the first batch off the road. That would put an end to that right away.

    Id do it if they paid accordingly.... I mean, you are pulling more than one trailer that two drivers could be pulling. KInda like with hazmat, is the small increase in in pay really worth all the extra hassle?
