There is absolutely no reason UPS should have been in the middle lane. And yes, I do drive for UPS and pull triples quite often across the Indiana Toll Road.
@MrThatguy122 Well what would you suggest ,That I pass him in the middle lane idiot, I was passing him on the right guess you don't know what your left hands doing.seeing as it's about a $300.00 dollar ticket to pass him in the left lane ,what do you suggest Einstein.
I have my hazmat and doubles/triples, just got them cause you never can have too many endorsements. I would hate to pull them though, I'm an in town LTL kinda guy!
@bigjbzzl How would you load it to make it not wiggle? Put more weight on the axels? it looks pretty challeneging when you have so many short trailers.
@ThisMakesMeThink --Yeah---its better to load evenly over the axels---but of course you may not always be afforded that comfort. But its more about the lubrication of the congear. Of course tire inflation can be an issue. I've been at speeds I won't admit to here(coming off a hill)---and the 3 trailers just tuck right in behind each other, regardless of weight & positioning, & no wiggle, so long as the congear is properly greased.
This is caused six inches or more play in the steering wheel from a worn out steering box and/or wornout linkage , I know I drove a set of doubles with a tractor that had steering problems one time.
@BeantownJim --I pull triples....sometimes empty, no wiggle. If I have 3 trailers 1-21k/ 2-19k/ 3-empty....so long as the congear is properly greased, there shouldn't be a problem. Tires and steering should be in order(like any vehicle)---But wiggle is nerve racking.
Triples are very safe, just that there are 2 rules to driving triples: one don't over correct...EVER, two, don't look in your mirrors. because of the length and the shortness of the wheelbases it is inevitable that you will sway whether loaded or empty, but never more than 1.5 feet side to side unless of some external circumstance.
Seems to me they wiggle because the drawbars are too short, the trailers are too short, not enough weight on them, not enough axles, in short not a safe combo.
We run triples and quads where I live on some crap roads with no probs, but I guess you guys are restricted to length.
i remember tryin to pass one of these UPS Triples while drivin thru a tight construction zone on the Ohio Turnpike 50 miles from Toledo a few years ago. The driver kept telling me over the CB to go ahead and pass but i was too dam scared. Stayed behind him for 10 miles before tucking my nuts in and passing him. He laughed at me of course. It was fascinating watching the last trailer move around like that.
@lololmao7 Damn we haven't had drop frames for 2 years or so. Now the only crappy thing left is the fact that our extendo conveyors don't reach the end of the big 53' trailers
I saw a semi pulling a full sized crane it was sick!!! 3 flatbeds long and 2 wide coolest thing ever!! (before u saw its not possible they were not to flatbeds side by side they were just so large they took up 2 lanes)
Wow..look at that truck swerving all over the road...Gee, lets get beside him..
If you even reach up to scratch your nose it will cause the kite to move...it is not like driving a pickup...or even a semi. White knuckler is what we would call this...
gatta love the a-trains, most i've ever seen is 2 tho, accept one time there was a farm truck pulling 3 empty trailers at about 60 ona 90kmh road, i was perfectly content with following because the trailers "wiggled" so much i wasnt keen on introducing them to the side of my truck,
oh my god, I almost saw a genetic recombination of a ups trailer and a catepillar. haha. well if it would have ended badly for those three trailers there would be a lot of disappointed people wondering where their boxes were
well #1 I would'nt have to pass him on the right,if he was in the right lane,#2 it's illegal for a semi to be in the left lane on a3 lane road,or 2 left lanes,in the state of Utah.Next my cruise was set at 65,Ups sped up,so it was'nt like I was'nt passing him,#3 my camera is mounted to the windshield so it's not like I was holding it in my hand,#4 so why are you trying to make it look like I was doing something wrong.cuz so far you hav'nt got anything right
Riding in the far right lane in someones blind spot is just bad driving.I have over a million mile safe driving pulling pups and i would not ride next to someone like that.Either slow down and let him pass or speed up and move on!
The only place you ll see triples are on the IN Toll Rd, OH turnpike, and spasely populated western states like UT, WY, NV, ID, and MT. In some other places you will see a Rocky Mountain Double with a 45ft and a 28 ft trailer. From this video, he looks like he s SB I-15 in Utah
I've never seen it and I work for UPS!! I asked the drivers if they'd ever done it but they said it's illegal to do. But this is California IDK what things are allowed in other states.
I haven't seen many down south here pulling 3. It scares me when they're just pulling two. I make it a point to not drive behind them or beside them no more than I have to. I get out of the danger zone as quickly and safely as possible. The farther in my rearview, the better. My respect to the drivers with the nad's to pull em =)
also let me explain,i'm not bagging on ups,or anyone else,I'm just saying,there are a lot of drivers with the I don't care how much I'm screwing up traffic.how many people I'm holding up,I'm the only one that matters,I.m staying in this lane come hell or highwater.then speeding up and not allowing the person to pass.
i have to agree with the other guy about being a brave soul.but he only had about 5 hrs.exp.you know ups.hang in their guy and give drivers like that a big space.......
They pull triples in Kansas and Oklahoma also.
