What is the main reason a driver needs a separate endorsement to pull doubles or triples rather than just holding a Class A CDL?

Pick an answer

1. It is required only for interstate travel, not local routes
2. Doubles and triples use a completely different type of engine that requires separate certification from the manufacturer before it can legally be operated on any public road
3. The knowledge and skills needed to safely control multiple trailers, like coupling order and amplified rear-trailer sway, aren't tested in the base Class A exam
4. The endorsement is only a paperwork formality with no real skill difference
