    I stumbled upon this post I know it's older but I can't imagine being in another rig, say the tanker I drive. If that were two large trucks it would have been ugly. You also never know who has a dash cam these days.

    Wow. I passed one of those stupid yellow state vehicles with my truck but It was clear as far as I could see. Never pass with a semi unless it's clear for a long, long distance.... Don't do it in blind areas like hills. Use common sense

    No. It wont.

    I have HAD situations where I get that trailer swaying aside a little bit that usually means placing the tractor into more of a difficulty.

    I don't do screamers very well. We had a rule in that cab as a team, swear, birdog or back seat drive, just dont you scream, squeal or squall. The driver is right busy. We can take care of loving on afterwards.

    That DOES NOT work with a smooth bore tanker. One word. Rollover.
