I have a question for all the Bed Buggers on here:

Why don't you see doubles used in HHG?

It seems like you would have the advantage of an extra 3' of trailer. You can also take a pup places no 53' can tread; avoiding some shuttle operations.

Aside from the extra time 10-15min to hook and break what is the downside?

Wiggle wagons are used, but very rarely. The biggest downfall is the backing ability. Sure, they CAN be backed up, but try getting a set around a street corner, truckstop parking space, etc. I've seen a set from United, Mayflower, and Wheaton within the last 3 months.

They do have benfits like dropping one trailer in a tight area, and going back for the other when the other is full.

I'm here...I've been pulling for Atlas Van Lines' biggest booking/revenue producing agent, and they have kept me BUSY. I like the idea of doubles, and have seen alot of "other" van lines, aside from the big hitters pulling them. But, I think that the downside would greatly outweigh the upsides of them. A benefit is in a tight neighborhood you can drop one and pull one through....load/unload and then switch out...which would sure help things out, in the case of havng a 75 foot long tractor/trailer, with only one pivot point in the middle. A downside I can think of right off hand, is that you stop and drop your second trailer, and unload a shipment on the main one...now you're going to have to switch trailers around AGAIN b/c your now empty one that's hooked to you, is lighter than your 1/2 way loaded dropped trailer...now you have to switch them around...the next day you stop off and load onto your now empty trailer and it overflows onto the 1/2 empty one..welp..you guessed it..switch them around again...in the HHG world especially during the summer, when you're unloading or loading everyday...this could become VERY tedious.
