Is there a reason you can't do a legal U Turn?
Aamcotrans, Tb0n3 and G13Tomcat Thank this. -

I would think all mega carriers would have an instant termination policy for U-turns. Best to call the police to help you make the U-turn if you have no other option.

Nyc but that's just part of the rub

I know a guy that used to work in safety for Knight... They had. ZERO tolerance policy for U-turns... Legal or otherwise, immediate termination. As Knight now owns Swift I would imagine they have instituted it there as well.
G13Tomcat, FerrissWheel and Vic Firth Thank this. -
Pfft! Stop in the middle of the road, then slam it in reverse, back up a bit, that cancels out a U turn, now it’s a “Look at this, Can you believe this guy!!” Moment.
Just go up and find a turn around or make a block, You won’t get that many out of route miles.
Or take the next exit and double back.JForce28 Thanks this. -
There is a member on this sight called U turn girl ... wonder what she thinks about this issue.
If a tree falls in the forest and no one is there to hear it does it make noise ?
My safety supervisor told me that if a semi makes a u turn and no one saw it ....
did the semi make a u turn ?jsnell, Wasted Thyme, O.Henry and 4 others Thank this. -
In my job I do u-turns all day long, sometimes on 2-lanes in 4-way intersections.Sirscrapntruckalot, Aamcotrans, Wasted Thyme and 6 others Thank this.
