<VV> towing (double trailer, no corvair)

[Ramon Rodriguez III]

Pretty sure that can't be legal!  I'm amazed nobody stopped you.  I know
towing double trailers with my CDL requires a special endorsement (which I
have) and I'm fairly certain that it was a special exception that made it
legal at all.  Also of note, in most states when towing double trailers
(Big trucks) both must be 28 feet or shorter.  In some states (mostly in
the west) this is not the case.  Also quite a few states now allow triple
trailers, also 28 foot "pup" trailers.  The only place in the East I know
of that allows double full length (48 usually) doubles is the New York
Throughway... they have yards on the highway where the rigs are put
together and taken apart as they are not allowed to leave the throughway
with this setup.
