Just asked my buddy your question (trucker). This was his advice
Trailers of equal length you can run a triple-pup (with appropriate license). 2 Trailers of equal length, driven patiently (his exact words) will be rock steady.
He was quite clear that if you are using a standard vehicle (unless you're rocking the turbo diesel dually 5th wheel beast) it is not a good idea to run two trailers of differing lengths over highways. He actually spoke more of wind causing sway torque through canyons and losing the last trailer. Also mentioned that if you blow a tire on the rear trailer, single axle, you could have a serious problem develop real quick.
Side note, you folks who run 2x trailers on Utah highways are nuuuuuuuuuuuts. Utah highways get beat up bad.[pirate]
