I’m not trying to be argumentative but If I may let me offer another scenario for your consideration. If I work for an RV transport company, I hold a commercial driver license, hold in accordance with the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations a Medical Examiner’s Certificate #3393280124, and my personal pickup truck is registered as a commercial vehicle then under Florida statutes I can legally haul/pull more than two trailers ( the tow vehicle, 5th wheel, vehicle trailer behind the 5th wheel) in your state.

DHSMW said:"Your 5th wheel (RV) would not qualify as a commercial vehicle." It does not qualify as a commercial vehicle under Federal Standards. The tow vehicle AND what is towed has to qualify.

Hey you're a Floridian and a tow meister, why aren't you jumping on the bandwagon to get this outdated statute changed? It would have to be a resident of Florida to get things moving forward not some dude from Texas. Changing it would be a great benefit all around!:B :h

Regardless of how few accidents may have involved doubles,I have seen enough of them on the road to know that, I, personally, do not want to be anywhere near them when on the road.
