I believe that in Alberta and a few other provinces...as long as the lead trailer is a 5th wheel and the total length does not exceed 20m, the larger trailer must be the front trailer ...you're good to go

Completely legal. In Alberta lead trailer must be a king pin hitch with at least tandem axles. It must also be longer and heavier than the second trailer.

Now if you live in Sask you can pull 2 bumper pull trailers up to a max length of 75'. Damn flat-landers.

Doable in Ontario, 70 ft max for tractor/trailer would assume the same for that kind of set up.
I believe the first trailer needs to have brakes....weight limit as well

Legit. If under 65.5 ft. Hard to tell what the length is from the pic. I’d say it probably is under though. My long box with 30’ fiver and a 10’ trailer is right at 65.5 ‘

How many people in BC actually have the correct drivers license for the trailer they are towing?
