Every trailer I connect to is not straight in my right mirror

    It's the number you call when you can't figure out which flip flop to put on which foot.

    Ok so my mirrors are in the position they’re supposed to be but “EVERY” trailer in the right mirror seems to want to drive to the right into the other lane slightly I’m thinking it has something to do with my truck.

    Best way to check trailer track is go down a straight stretch of road that has lines marked on both sides of shoulder and put your drives along the line. Keep them steady and watch where the trailer tandems are located. They should follow along in the same line. If they are are dog tracking you will be able to see difference in direction.
    The line won’t lie and If it tracks true and still looks somewhat “crooked” in the mirrors than you know the truck has some of those “fun house” type mirrors I mentioned earlier. Lol.
