Did you ever wonder where you can tow double trailers? Don't try backing them up. :rofl:

I have seen this discussion come up before. It all boils down to the rules of the state you are driving in. Typically it does seem that the first trailer must be a 5th wheel.

Not sure if the towing rules apply to the truck in the video. That's a tamden axle truck and with it's higher GVW, probably falls under the rules for commercial vehicles. Double and triple commercial rigs are allowed in many more states if not all states. I'd like to know where the dividing line is in regards to what your are using as a tow vehicle and what trailers you are pulling to be legal. I have the problem of wanting to pull a camper and a boat. I have a CDL license with the endorsement for doubles and triples, but that still doesn't allow me to pull double or triple recreational trailers. Not sure if I upped my tow vehicle to into a higher GVW would allow me to pull a camper and boat or not.
Yes it is allowed - in certain States & Provinces - most with conditions.
Some require one unit to be a 5th wheel - but not all.
Most require a MAX length (typically about 23m, or 60-72 ft total) but not all.
Some may require one of them to be a TOWED vehicle - but not all.
Some may have weight restrictions - but not all.

Best to check with all States or Provinces your traveling in.
JUST BECAUSE YOU CAN DOES NOT MEAN YOU SHOULD!
BB, I thought that was the general rule to ALL driving in Korea -- Getting ahead of the other drivers as fast as possible.
I've asked repeatedly if this is legal in Georgia (two brothers-in-law are Georgia State Troopers). One says it's legal the other says it's not. Go figure. However, both will tell you that they'll leave 'em alone if they're driving under the speed limit and have all the other "looks" of safety (chains, lights, etc). I've seen it done a bunch.
If it saw a triple in Korea, I'd stop for an hour to make sure I wasn't having a nightmare! In the states I saw a few. Only one was stable. Big $$, too.
I do drive like I'm on a motorcycle here. I tow in the fast lane only because people here don't look when they change lanes or merge!
Rules for driving in Korea:
1. They won't look before pulling out in front of you or changing lanes.
2. Right-hand lane? They'll turn left.
3. Left-hand lane? They'll turn right.
4. They will not stop at the red light.
I'm not joking, either. 🙁
#1, 2 and 3 happened to me today, and almost every time I have driven in the last month alone.
#4 happens multiple times every day.
