Is making turns the same as in a 4 wheeler or do you come to a "dead" stop?

If you're not in 6'th gear, out of 10, in the first 25 feet on the turn; you're not doing it right.

Alternatively, "Sure Wish I finished Training."

 

I think you can answer your own question. When was the last time you saw an 18 wheeler come to a stop before turning?

 

I hope you never have to follow him!

Not wanting to get this off topic but does Texas still have those every short exit ramps with a very sharp turn as they use too?

I've saw a few trucks that would have been much better off stopping at those turns!

 

The best piece of advise I ever got when I started driving was "look you are a truck driver now which means that you are never in a hurry to do anything everybody has to wait on you."

It changed my perspective on everything I did and never had a problem doing anything with the truck after that.

 

When making a turn in a semi,you need to plan your turn ahead of time.Some you have to swing wide just depends on the turn.But you can not make a turn as fast as a car does,that could cause a rollover.Just take your time and do it right.

Hahahaha. Okay I really shouldn't do that , my paycheck says swift on it.

 

To add to this you should get in the habit of taking every turn wide. That way you never cut it short.

Just put a "full to the rim" cup of scalding hot coffee between your legs, as long as you don't burn yourself, you're doing fine.

Remember, in a car, your butt is six inches off of the ground, in a truck, it's 6 ft.
