In the trucking industry, efficiency and stability are key to moving freight smoothly. A B Train Truck (also called a B-train or B-double) is a unique configuration that allows one tractor to haul two trailers securely. Unlike A-trains that use a converter dolly, a B Train connects the second trailer directly to a fifth wheel mounted on the back of the first trailer.
This design reduces sway, eliminates slack, and provides greater stability, especially during long hauls. Because all connections use fifth wheels, the setup is safer and more reliable, making it a preferred choice in many regions, especially in Canada.
How Does a B Train Truck Work?
- Tractor + Lead Trailer – The tractor pulls the lead trailer via its standard fifth wheel.
- Fifth Wheel on Lead Trailer – The rear of the lead trailer includes another fifth wheel to connect the second trailer.
- Second Trailer – This attaches directly without the need for an extra dolly, making the whole unit more efficient.
- Benefits of Using B Train Trucks
- Higher Payloads – Transport larger volumes in a single trip.
- Better Stability – Reduced sway improves safety on highways.
- Cost Efficiency – Fewer trips mean lower fuel and operating costs.
- Versatility – Perfect for hauling bulk goods, lumber, construction materials, and agricultural loads.
