    By turning the wheel and pressing the go peddle. :)
    Actually at the GM plant some steel hauler today jackknifed coming out of the plant (empty I assume) into the roundabout.
    I'm guessing he had all his axles down and going too fast.
     
    ChevyCam, Feedman and truckdad Thank this.

    You should watch the tires scrub in a tight turn. You can see black marks on the pavement, it’s amazing how much of a difference the 4th axle makes maneuvering vs 3.

    Just gotta swing wide. And like JD said, they don’t much like being folded up.

    Don't shift gears in the middle of a tight turn. That much I have learned.
