Look ma, no converter dolly!

Last week, Castlegar, BC.

 

Wow, lucky it didn't take out the other one. lol

 

If it's tractor | trailer | trailer with a single pintle between the two trailers, then it's an A-train. A C-train has a (lazy) "C" (or "U") shaped drawbar. Not common, but we used them when I was hauling fluids. Same trailer could be hooked to truck with tank or in a train configuration. They were a full trailer with a turntable.

 

Those were my exact words too.

 

GILLIGAN!!!!!!

 

I have not seen that set up, it would be a little tougher to back than a b-train, but doable, I think.

 

I can attest to that... at night... 1/4 mile up a lease road... in the rain.

 

Then you have rocky doubles and turnpike doubles.
Combinations of 53 and 45’s

Lot of the grocery chains out in the Rocky Mountain states run two 53’s. Both usually refrigerator box.

 

C trains are a pain to move the con gear around but are stable and not any harder to back up than b trains. Triples are A train set ups. Your a better hand than me if you can back them up over 100 feet. Not 4 hire knows his trucks. Seen some carnage at the chip dump sites.
