No, I don't pull triples. We have meet points with drivers in Ohio where we pick up trailers from a triples set. You can pull trips in Ohio on the turnpike.
Like guyjax said, turnpike doubles are popular in the northeast. I see them all the time in upstate NY.
Refers to pulling two trailers at the same time, otherwise known as "pups" or "pup trailers" because they're only about 28 feet long. However there are some states that allow doubles that are each 48 feet in length.
First time I saw the 53' doubles being pulled I was amazed. Just something this Carolina boy never saw before.

Or Rocky Mountain double tankers hauling liquid hydrogen at 75 mph through Wyoming.

Triples are mainly a NW thing. Back east they pull turnpike doubles. That is either 2 48' or 2 53' trailers or a mixture of both.
