Don't let them rush you to go over the speed limit nd i know you know better or wait for my blue lights lol.

There no big deal out of my 3 million miles 2+ have been with doubles in tow. Leave plenty of following distance, brake gently, steer smoothly ( no quick lane changes). When it wet or slick out be very careful stopping, if you see the rear getting out of shape get off the brake and reapply. DO NOT USE THE TROLLEY VALVE to stright out trailers, if your a good driver now you should have now problems.

Pattyj do not sweat the driving on snow thing nothing to it take it slow and steady, now when the roads are a sheet of ice and high winds look out. Specially if you gonna be out in Iowa in the middle of the night, LOL.
pattyj Thanks this. -
you will be fine, I didn't even have 8 months under my belt in the 90's when I applied for APC in Atlanta to pull a shuttle run. the dolly is a pain in the but as long as you have a pintle on your truck you can spot it easy enough and be hooked up and gone in less than 30 minutes. the back trailer will wiggle in the wind but its not noticeable in the steering wheel just respect it and watch your braking because the empty back trailer will look you in the side of the face.....

I'm not going to go over the speed limit.You can make just as good time driving normal .Fact is the ppl that drive the speed limit or even slow trks make better time then the speeders because the speeders stop too much.
