Alberta, Canada
I've often wondered the same thing.... I'm sure that theoretically it is an infinite number, you are limited only by...
a) the number of lead trailers
b) the power to pull it
c) the number of lead trailers available to you
d) the strength of the first few leading trailers (so as not to stress the 5th wheel, pin, frame, etc etc)

Eventually you'd like get to a point where the tractor's air supply isn't enough but... And when you look at all these road trains?

I see no reason why you couldn't make a habit of pulling around 3-4 trailers, as quite often I see 3 48' trailers being pulled down the interstate with dolly's in between. And if you've seen some of those road trains over in Australia....

Just my over-active imagination causing trouble again...
