To be legally allowed to pull double or triple trailers in the United States, you must meet a set of requirements, including passing several knowledge tests. You must obtain a Class A CDL. To do this, you must pass the General Knowledge test, which all CDL applicants must pass. You must also pass the Combination knowledge test, which is required to obtain a Class A CDL to drive combination vehicles, such as semi-trucks and tractor-trailers. (You must also pass a skills test in such a vehicle.)
To drive combination vehicles with two or even three trailers or semi-trailers, you must also obtain a Double/Triple (T) endorsement on your Class A CDL. (However, triple trailers are prohibited in Connecticut.) To obtain this endorsement, you must pass the Double/Triple knowledge test. This test covers such topics as safe handling, air brakes on doubles and triples, coupling and uncoupling, rollovers, and trailer sway. (However, no special skills test is required for this endorsement.)
All these knowledge tests are based on the official Connecticut CDL manual (Connecticut CDL Handbook 2026). You likely studied parts of this manual to get your CDL. We offer a set of tools to complement the official manual with intensive training. This is one of our tools: the first of five Connecticut Doubles and Triples Endorsement Practice Tests. This practice test is based on the official CDL manual, just like the official Double/Triple knowledge test. It’s up to date as of January 2026. The 20 multiple-choice practice questions and answers on this practice test address such topics as air lines, converter dollies, coupling, following distance, rearward amplification, and rollovers.
