How hard is it to roll a trailer?

Chill keep doin what ur doing--u already have it figured out--don't take it too quick--u can go off or on a ramp like that too slow forever--but u can only go off it too fast once.....
But to answer your question--its not hard to roll--just requires the right amount of improper input from the loose nut behind the wheel--trailers DO NOT ROLL--drivers roll trailers
jus sayin

 

Driving too fast.

 

Can not say how easy it is for never done it. But as other said go to fast around a curve, to top heavy and get it in the wrong angle or hit a soft spot just right and it will go over.

 

Make sure your trailer is loaded correctly, secure and drive the correct speed around corners and you'll never have a problem. They post yellow speed limit caution signs on ramps. As long as your load is secure them signs will keep you safe. It's not like on the highway you can get away with 5 over. Ramps are not forgiving. If it says 15 mph you better be going 15 mph or slower. Unfortunately some drivers have to learn the hard way.

Scientifically, speed increases the sideward G-force. Too much G-force and trailer goes boom. Don't be the driver that cuts corners (no pun intended) in the wrong places.

 

Which side?

The southbound traffic on Azusa can move a little too fast for the ramps and they do not appear to be highway curves, they appear to be a straight curve. On a highway, or railway, curve the radius changes and the curve is banked. The result of this is that it makes you slow down going into the curve.

 

Just do it slowly but surely.

 

Know your load (how it is loaded, weight, distribution), pay attention to curve, and slow down before - not IN - the ramp. The rest is physics. And a little paranoia and fear will help you every time as a new class A driver.

 

It appears it isn't that hard at all, I see one on its side at least once a week. After 33 years of this and never having done it, I don't think I'm missing anything.

 

Trks aren't hard to roll,you just have to plan your ramps accordingly.There's a couple sharp ramos on my rote.Winter is the worst.Only way that ramp gets plowed is from cars.You just have to go slow.Speed says 25 go 15 to 20 mph.You haul tanker,you go slower then that at least I do.
