Facing issues on curves as new truck driver

Absolutely.

 

Since ABC's Wild World of Sports disappeared lots of interesting events died. Now, we get to find out what some wannabee prostitute or housewife in CA thinks about some "musician's" bank account.

 

So now I just...do the speed limit. I know, I know. It's ####ing boring and anathema to the mileage pay ethos of modern trucking, but I do.

But back in the day, before I knew how to drive, I'd see yellow signs with speed limits for curves up ahead. I'd stop the accelerator at that point, coast, and not hit my brakes at all unless it was a REALLY sharp curve.

Now I do the same, but with less trepidation. Lol

 

In a nutshell, slow down before the curve. If the advised speed for a curve says 45mph, I'll generally slow down to 40mph or even slower. Especially in the beginning. Don't worry about those impatient NASCAR wanna be truckers. Just let them on by. Never go faster than you are comfortable. In time, you won't need to slow down quite as much as in the beginning. You're a newbie, best to slow down and be cautious. In time the handling becomes more automatic and natural. But, it takes time. Be patient and let it. Much easier and better to err on the side of caution and be too slow than be too fast. Being impatient and in a hurry is not a good way to go. If it doesn't bite you in the butt with an accident, it will burn you up from the stress it creates. In the beginning especially lots of things are going to stress you. Don't make being impatient one of them.
Best of luck to you!!
