[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by chad thomas There are quite a lot of b trains combinations hauling wood chips in Washington these days. The biggest advantage I see with this setup is the ease of backing them up. It's nearly impossible to do that with a converter dolly in between (although I have seen it done for short distances). [/quote] Chad, An additional advantage is there is one less veichle to register and pay taxes on, which in some states can be a big deal. Also the chain laws between a standard set of doubles with con gear and b trains might make a significat difference durring winter. Depending on the equipment and famility with such, I can back a semi with dolly just about anywhere...But to back that semi with dolly-and trailer, NO from here...But, I've seen a handful of drivers back a rear box to a dock door located between spotted trailers. The UPS driver handling the unsorted south pull out of MSC at Fernley, NV does it daily. A fellow that I worked with at Thrifty Drug durring the 1980s and now with Central can do it on comand, either over a dirt lot or paved lot. Jim
