    Good deal. The drivers we have that went through the program liked it and they all stay - very very few end up leaving..

    No big deal. Just when you hook, everything has to be in line, and when you go 'round corners, the 2nd trailer will offtrack the same as if you had a single 53'.

    never driven with a 53'. i drove a 45' for my road test last month. They were training me for driving today and having me hook a trailer up, trucks r a little different than the truck i drove for my roadtest but ill et used to it. My instructor did tell me he will practice with me driving doubles and he said if im not scared out of my mind the first time hes bringing me to have my head examed. lol but anyways so far good company to work for
