Need Help With Theory or Pre-Trip etc?

It all depends. Are you turning on to Jabroni St. or from Jabroni St?

 

Never been there. Don’t try to complicate the question. You either know the correct answer or you don’t. Until someone answers, I’m still the only one who knows. It’s one of those few things that got lost in translation when they discontinued the original State issued paper CDL study book. Another example is using 4 ways while traveling on an Interstate 10 mph or more below the posted speed limit. Neither are on the test. I’m just having fun. Take my words with a tongue in cheek grain of salt.

 

Yellow car? ####eyed railroad track? IQ in the top 13 percentile?

 

I’m still trying to figure out this “Theory” thing.

 

Is it something to do with truck drivers are treated with respect and paid well and warehouses are glad were there?

 

You forgot pushing on your tires with your flipflops while smoking a cigarette and arguing with the wife on the phone.

 

Ever notice how every time someone makes a thread where expedite it would fit right in... he disappears!?

And none of us can tag him because we are all on ignore. It's just not fair!

 

My theory is there's too much regulation.

 

OP - thank you for the effort.

What is the rule for right turn on red light?

In CDL class they told us like a car must have a full complete stop. Then if safe and not posted otherwise it is legal to turn right on a red light. I usually wait for green.

 

Right turns on red are legal in all fifty states, but there are plenty of intersections with posted signs forbidding them. Additionally, some big cities ban them outright (NYC, DC) and many more are considering it because almost nobody actually comes anywhere close to stopping before turning. Of course, in a big truck it takes significantly more space and time (10 to 30 seconds or more) to make a turn from a dead stop than it does for a car, and often those limitations decrease the possibility of actually making a right on red.

It's possible there are some micromanaging carriers out there that don't allow their drivers to turn right on red regardless of the legality.

Personally, I think every intersection is different and in a lot of cases it's better to wait for the green light. But in situations where the intersection is relatively small and a truck needs to button hook into the oncoming lanes in order to make the right turn, the safest time to turn would obviously be when those lanes are empty, regardless of whether the light is red or green.
