    Many different company drivers, owner operators that walk from across the street and former drivers who got out while we could. Some happy and some not happy. Every driver here will have a difference of opinion for the most part and will get into arguments with other drivers about what is correct and fight for a spot in a post. Just like one big truck stop!

    I'd like to add, always keep and open mind when getting advice and know that what works for driver #1 may not work for driver #2. We're all different, have our own preferences and go thru our own separate struggles in life. and of course you have to sort out the trolls and dummies.

    Right hand turn? I was behind a Prime truck yesterday that right hand turned and rolled up on the sidewalk for a good seven feet.

    Well duh, you don't take something needing 60 curb feet and expect it to fit around a turn with maybe 15 to 20 curb feet.

    My term of curb feet is the curb to curb turning radius of a vehicle.
    Aka, a trucks diameter of a circle made by the outside of the outside steer tire.

    While a circle is not being made, most 90° turns are our trouble spots and 90° is 1/4 of a full circle so the math still works.


    Hey @TROOPER to TRUCKER how's that for an opinion.
