I’m a Licensed Master Captain, but my career has spanned logistics via Road, Rail, Air and Sea. General cargo to project cargo. Re LTL trailer sets, couple questions:
1.) What’s the advantage over say a 53 Ft
2.) Reading replies; drivers who prefer to do their own setups versus presets, I think it answered my 2nd question; it’s a stable rig connection if done correct. I saw a video of FedEx twins, driver enters yard and doesn’t notice No. 2 fully disconnect & kept going. The thought of that at 60-70 Mph on a highway … I realize without anyone seeing this video, trying to answer how he made it back & then No. 2 came loose, impossible to answer.

But how often can a disconnect happen?
