    Yeah then you just have to worry about if the ECM records a heading alarm, or a roll stability. That's usually what I see when dudes decide to flip a cookie. Depending on the level of stupidity I recommend termination.

    At Sapp Brothers in Clearfield, PA. After I dropped in York they had me head to Lock Haven, PA. The original appt for this load to deliver in Mentor, OH was 0030 tonight. I told them I could deliver at 1200. But being this is a Sam's load and they usually only receive at night who knows what is going to happen. Either way this should be my last load before heading home.

    I wonder how I got away with several u turns. All were as safe as possible and positively needed. Never heard anything. Guess my ecm just wasn't working. Or maybe my FM? Lol
    Merry Christmas to you all!!!!!!

    There are several roads that have designated u tun lanes made to accommodate tractor trailers.

    For instance, US 1 in Florida north of Jacksonville has about 120ft between the roads. So you can get the truck and trailer straight then complete your turn. It would be no different than turning off the side of the road.


    I've also been to places where a u turn was required, it was made for big trucks but it was still just the same as pulling a u turn in the middle of the highway.

    It really depends where you are when you register a u-turn. If you make a u-turn across a 4 lane, you will likely hear about it just before you clean your truck out.

    When you register a U-turn I believe it sends the GPS location. As far as cameras go, we already have them if you get a lot of critical Events. They watch you and the road ahead of you.
