I would say step deck to keep it legal height. Not sure how tall 3 would be on a regular flat.

3?
We're gonna need Rontonio in here for the answer.stwik Thanks this. -
Flatbed trailers are in the ballpark of 50 inches tall. So, 3 (including the one attached to the tractor) is all you can pull. So, if you go step deck, you'll only be able to pull 2 on it.
If I'm understanding your question correctly. -
Flats can be stacked 3 high if you lower the dolly legs and put them back to front including the on the road trailer.
steps can only be 3 high to stay under 13'6" including the on the road trailer. -
What kind of trailers? What is the size of these?
Need more info to provide better answers -
You could remove the tires and block the axles and lower the jack legs . That would drop it a few inches . Plus a step deck with 17.5 tires is 4" lower than 22.5 tire step deck. Just my 2cents

One stack, three high.... they would easily go three high on a flatbed, that's how new ones get delivered to dealers, generally. You have one connected to the tractor, the next flat facing rearward and the third or top one facing forward, Lower the dolly legs on the stacked trailers to lower the overall height. Oh yeah.... raise the dolly legs on the one you will be pulling....
