This is very similar to a Dolly setup on a Doubles or Triples setup. If I am correct the braking on a Semi is rear to front air brake setup. Which helps slow the combination down through proportioning valves. Try stopping in traffic or accident or being cutoff. The weight balance should be ok the TV has to have Diesel not sure if gas 8.1 would
handle it. Anywho I would pull my con gear behind tractor or first trailer and leave it free rolling. Especially in wet or snow/ice weather to avoid locking it up and coming around.
Personally my HD Sub has the truck chassis with 6.0 and I would upgrade to something little more stout like a dually with a Diesel. If the Dolly has hydraulics no worries. The 5er still works with brake controller. I would really only recommend highly experienced drivers not average Joe. Safety is key on this combination. I am the guy who stops at grades lets everything cool down and do a check of everything so I make it down to the bottom. I used to run a Semi with and without a Jake down big grades so again doing it safely is key. Just my opinion and add to enjoyable reading.
