    If this helps it was a highway, in the left turning lane going to make a left hand turn and continue going left; I know for dang sure you couldn’t make that with a trailer, but definitely underestimated it with the bobtail

    Only thing that I can think of is using a little of the other lane to my right to give me just enough clearance

    Left turn hit curb? Wouldn't button hook prevent that? Unless really narrow streets.

    You don't really have to worry unless he starts calling you "good buddy."

    You're okay this time, but if it happens again, to be sure... run over the clerk.
