A hitch assembly for attaching a following trailer to a leading trailer and preventing lateral pivoting of the hitch assembly with respect to the leading trailer includes a dolly which laterally pivotally attaches to a hitch of the leading trailer. The dolly trails the leading trailer and has a fifth wheel hitch for attaching to a following trailer. A stabilizer on the dolly is deployable near a rear end of the leading trailer such that lateral pivoting of the dolly with respect to the leading trailer is limited or entirely obstructed. The inhibiting action of the stabilizer facilitates accurate alignment of the fifth wheel hitch with the following trailer.
