Amen to that. One of the only places I see triples or "Turnpike Doubles" (2 full-length trailers) are on the pay tollways. They really tear-up the highway, and the toll system seems to generate the revenue per axle to offset the damage.
I counted this on friday: the triple setup has 30 tires: 10 on the tractor: trailer 1 is king-pinned to the tractor (+4), a dummy kingpin/axle on each other one (+8) and two more trailers (+8) = 30 tires / 8 axles. A driver told me that there's virtually no control over that third trailer
No abrupt movements...
