Frequently Asked Questions

What is a Doubles/Triples endorsement?

A Doubles/Triples endorsement (code "T") authorizes you to pull two or three trailers behind a tractor. This is one of the easiest endorsements to get - written test only, no skills test.

What CDL class do I need?

You must have a Class A CDL. The Doubles/Triples endorsement cannot be added to Class B or C licenses because you need the Class A rating to pull trailers.

What is rearward amplification?

Also called the "crack-the-whip" effect, rearward amplification means that sudden steering movements affect each successive trailer more than the one ahead of it. The last trailer in a triple can swing 3x more than the first trailer.

How should trailers be arranged?

Always put the heaviest trailer closest to the tractor and the lightest trailer at the rear. This reduces the crack-the-whip effect and makes the combination more stable.

How many questions are on the Doubles/Triples test?

20 questions, multiple choice. You need 16 right to pass (80%). No skills test is required for this endorsement.

What topics are covered on the test?

The test covers: coupling and uncoupling procedures, inspecting doubles/triples, air brake connections, rearward amplification, safe driving techniques, and rollover prevention.

Are doubles/triples legal in all states?

Double trailers (28.5 feet each) are legal on designated highways nationwide. Triple trailers are more restricted - only about 20 states allow them, mostly in the West and Midwest.

How much do Doubles/Triples drivers earn?

LTL (Less Than Truckload) carriers that use doubles often pay $80,000+/year. These are typically regional routes with home time, making them popular positions.

Is there a skills test for Doubles/Triples?

No! The Doubles/Triples endorsement requires only a written knowledge test. This makes it one of the easiest CDL endorsements to obtain.

How long is the Doubles/Triples endorsement valid?

The endorsement is valid as long as your CDL is valid. When you renew your CDL, you may need to retake the knowledge test depending on your state's requirements.
