I guess if that's the case, I'll start pulling my 24ft tag trailer behind my 48ft fifth wheel trailer, I need to haul one more car anyways.
-
Didn't address that but in Illinois you can pull a bumper hitch trailer behind a fifth whee trailer. There are other states ghat require the same.
Best regards -
They are illegal everywhere I know of (although I don't know of everywhere). A fifth wheel/gooseneck plus a bumper pull is legal in some states and provinces.

i'm surprised the transmission even work after they've been pulled. not good for the trans being pulled in neutral with no oil flowing for lubrication.
guess a trailer is too expensive to use. -
Not sure if you notice this thread http://www.thetruckersreport.com/tr...199543-things-that-make-you-go-hmmmmmm-3.html
But, is turning your headlamps off for a second or two illegal at night as a courtesy light after another vehicle (tractor/trailer) has passed you?
Can you elaborate on the trucker courtesy light tradition? Does/don'ts? Highbeam use at night, legal-illegal?
Thanks!

Autos in newer cars have a lube pump connected to the output shaft as well as the torque converter.snowwy said: ↑i'm surprised the transmission even work after they've been pulled. not good for the trans being pulled in neutral with no oil flowing for lubrication.

Those vehicles are crap anyway, they could care less, they bought them cheap and will get them back to Mexico, fix them enough to sell to some sucker and come back for another load.snowwy said: ↑i'm surprised the transmission even work after they've been pulled. not good for the trans being pulled in neutral with no oil flowing for lubrication.
