Loose steering and wander

It's like gas, it'll pass!

 

This +1000. Excellent advice.

 

What are your steer weights? Light steers will float.

Also what are the road conditions you drive on? If there are grooves or ruts in the asphalt that will pull the truck left and right consistently.

I had this problem too when I first started out. Reason was, I was looking close, trying to watch my line spacing.
I found that aiming high and not looking down puts me at a smoother spacing overall.

Being nervous and iron-fisted can happen to me when in severe weather where my vision is lowered to 100ft or less, but I take deep breaths and try to relax some...

 

is your 5th wheel slid back past the wheels? this will lift your steers. I like mine 1 notch forward of the center of my drives. between the 2 sets.

 

Ya, That is why I asked what the steer weights were averaging.

To drive any size vehicle....watch All the traffic in front if you.
Try this... outside, walking, pick a spot about a block ahead , keep looking at it, and walk towards it. No problem. Now try walking to that same spot looming at your feet. No way.
If you are looking ahead, glancing at the mirrors frequently, and then back at the traffic way ahead of you...whatever you're driving will track perfectly in the middle of your lane.
Trucks, bikes, cars, bicycles, feet, whatever... you will go where you are looking.
If you still are wandering, it's the truck
Take care and look up! Up the road!

I agree. A lot of wandering drivers are trying to drive by looking at the vehicle right in front of them or just past their hood. Take a longer view and use your peripheral vision to hold your place in the lane.
