Averitt | Double 53's !
- Thread starter Iceman
- Start date
As you know we run them out in OK.....Down here in FL, many companies run them on the FL Turnpike from ORL to MIA. ABF runs twin 48's, FEDEX runs either 48's or 53's, Wilson runs twin 48's, Many other food service companies are running them also. I've never seen a BIG set in a accident, the drivers of those units are the smoothest driving I've ever seen.
Especially with a single axel dolly
ABF runs a single axle dolly on their Fla sets, everyone else runs tandems, which I think makes them easier to pull(less whipping back and forth)
I remember Avrt having 53's set up to pull double for quite awhile before the OK account came about...When I 1st saw them...I thought OH CRAP, doubles between ORL and MIA.

Twins actually pull better than Pups.
Just not on a windy day.
Just not on a windy day.
When you come up on a set of twin's It looks like they are running on rails, even in a crosswind...the drivers of these units are in my opinion exceptional. I've never in 25 years of running up and down the Fla Turnpike observed one in a accident. Missed a good photo OP of a ABF set and CT TRANSPORT SETS
Will do...The ABF set's are pulled by a driver based out of Mia. Twin 48's pulled by a single axle tractor and a single axle dolly. ABF logo on the front of the trailers ONLY.
Bucket list, would love to pull them, even triples would be cool.
