Want to pull doubles in Massachusetts? (Massachusetts does not allow triple trailers.) You must hold a Class A CDL and obtain a Double/Triple (T) endorsement on your CDL. The limited number of drivers with this endorsement and their specialized skills and additional responsibilities place them in high demand.
In Massachusetts, as in much of the rest of the nation, the logistics and retail sectors make heavy use of double trailers for efficient transport. In intermodal shipping, double-trailer trucks transport containers and bulk goods between the state’s seaports, rail hubs, and distribution centers. Less-Than-Truckload (LTL) carriers, such as XPO Logistics, use doubles to transport cargo between warehouses and distribution hubs. Wholesale and retail distributors, such as BJ’s Wholesale Club Distribution Center and Stop & Shop Distribution Center, use double trailers to transport goods between warehouses and retail locations.
In Massachusetts, however, double-trailer trucks are heavily restricted in metropolitan areas, especially Boston. For example, when driving eastward toward Boston, you may only use I-90 from the New York state line to the I-95 interchange in Weston. You may not use any of the Boston tunnels.
