Pulling doubles and parking ?????

big truck tow truck drivers are good at this too.

 

If you back your set of double trailers long enough, one trailer will end up jackknifed to the left, and the other one will end up jackknifed to the exact opposite, to the right. you will never back a set of doubles up straight, for more than a couple of inches. I tried this once at the scales when the back tire on my back trailer missed the scale by like an inch. Let's just say that the scale master was seriously irritated with me, and I had to drive around , wait in line again, and do it properly. don't back doubles!!!

 

that is ridiculous

 

agree flatbedder. skellr is spewing some of the dumbest $#%#@ I've ever read on here. Lol, what a clown.

 

From what I've seen, the vast majority of wiggle wagons are driven by vampire drivers in day cabs. They're only going out a couple hundred miles and then back to the house. And if they do stop, it's extremely short term, so most will either pull into the fuel island of the bigger chain stops or in the car area of the mom and pop stops. The long haulers normally pull into the really big truck stops to park where they have plenty of room.

 

But their dollies don't swivel.

 

You'll know it when you see it.

 

There is a lot of drop and hook, but you will have to get into a few tight places. The shorter the trailer the quicker it moves. It takes a bit of getting used to backing different trailer lengths, but if you can back a trailer at all you can back any of them. Typically when you pull doubles you stay within a 300 mile radius of your home terminal and are typically home everyday. As a newbie if you are looking to stay close to home this would be a ideal trucking career. Most LTL companies require at least a year of driving experience though.

 

Spoken like a real trucker...either you can drive or you can't. Doesn't really matter what kind of wagon you're pulling.
