Backing Rocky Mountain Doubles

gotta love belly dumps, in and out without stopping

 

Suprised they let ya run a tridrive down there.

 

Also know as maxis?

 

Run the mountain west region. See all sorts of sets. Not uncommon to see dual 53’s or 53/45, dual 45’s and 53 and pups.

 

It's quite amazing how our names gets intertwined outside of LTL forum. But yes, you can pull a standard Rocky set with a 48 foot with a 28 foot pup in the back.

Now legally speaking, I've pulled a light or even empty 48 foot behind a 22k pup. It looks awkward as ###$ and the turn radius sucks. But you can not have your back box weigh more than your front box.

 

Heavy in the back would be bad news. Pulling triples once inawhile a 102" box in front and 98" boxs to the rear. Can't see the two rear boxes going straight. Perfect.

 

I've pulled them backwards before. We call it running out of sync. The benefits of a quick hook doesn't offset the pain in the arse of the constant trailer sway, and yes, this set or triples will.sway like a flag.

 

How much weight can you haul net...?
