A-trains with their converter dollies and pintle hooks might better described as \u201cwiggle wagons\u201d which are in another league and nowhere near as stable as the B-trains. C-trains were also developed at this time, but are rarely seen these days.<\/p>\n<p>B-trains are found in every province in the country and have proven themselves as the best method for hauling the most weight in 60 feet of combined trailers. Whereas the US, with a few exceptions in places like Michigan and Washington State, have never embraced the B-train. Some States won\u2019t even allow them on their roads. B-trains in a word, are as Canadian as hockey, lacrosse, back bacon and maple syrup.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Source: <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.trucknews.com\/blogs\/take-the-b-train\/\"><strong>https:\/\/www.trucknews.com\/blogs\/take-the-b-train\/<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It\u2018s arguable that what we call the modern B-train (a set of trailers joined by a fifth wheel on the lead trailer) is a&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":18,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-3446","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","6":"category-news"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>What\u2019s the story on the B-Train?
