Overview
Drivers with the Doubles/Triples endorsement can pull two or three trailers simultaneously, increasing freight capacity per trip. These positions are common in LTL (less-than-truckload) networks and pay above standard single-trailer rates.
LTL freight networks continue to expand as e-commerce drives parcel volume.
