Pulling a b train in B.C.

[taxi guy]

Does anyone know what the laws for pulling a trailer behind a fifth wheel in B.C. are, I heard no can do and that you can if you get a permit ????

Just looking for a strait answer??

 

[shawnmcgr]

No can do! If there was a way I'd be doing it!

 

[Taminator]

No can do. No towing two units.
I believe only semis can haul B-trains in BC.

The 1st police officer or DOT will pull you over, park you, and give you a nice big fine.

Shutting down the towing behind the 5th wheel.

I can almost quote the sign word for word...."3 Vehicle Units Under 11000 kg G.V.W. Prohibited in B.C."

That has been a rumor for years, they would look more into it if there were more accidents involving these A-trains as they are called that. I think that we are all safe in doing this for many years to come. And for the original thread Question.........NO A TRAINS in BC. But alberta, sask, man. are good to go.

Just takes practice

and good mirrors.

one of my pet peeves, tourists pulling trailers down the highway and no extended mirrors, cant see past the corner of their RV, and wonder why others get mad at them.

Signs as you enter BC could not be more direct to the point....NO.
