Back up Super-B’s all day long and know guys running twin 53’s backing them up. Never seen anyone to triples.

Almost never do you back doubles/triples without breaking them down to single trailers. You can see videos of drivers that are able to back a set of trailers but that's like Tom Brady completing a 70 yard pass between two corner backs.austinmike, '88K100, Albertaflatbed and 3 others Thank this.

Doubles are usually taken from yard to customer or customer to yard. Many are used in LTL operations so they only see a truck stop just for food/drink, bathrooms.broke down plumber and nextgentrucker Thank this.

Some companies do have dedicated switchers that break/make sets and some expect the road driver to put each trailer in a door or drop each trailer at designated spot in yard.broke down plumber and nextgentrucker Thank this.
