I do not understand why you should make such a humongous issue. Every corner is different, do whatever needs to be done to get your rig safely around the corner. Emphasis on. Duh

But wait, every corner is different, didn’t your trainer or trainee teach you anything. You should’ve learned that in the first year or ten years, I can’t remember?

Think it's illegal in Indiana to do a buttonhook. Could be wrong. I do them when I need to except in Indiana lol

They're technically illegal in every state. If a person wants to get pedantic- every turn a semi makes is illegal because it's impossible to only use 2 lanes.Bean Jr., Hammer166, OldeSkool and 1 other person Thank this.

Personally I'd rather take a slightly different route so that I can make left turns, but when right turns cannot be avoided do whatever you have to do to safely execute the maneuver and reach your destination.
