Could have gone another couple feet forward, but that would take up my back porch real estateBlue jeans, Bud A., God prefers Diesels and 1 other person Thank this. -
As blair said, you get used to it, im 285 wb and rarely have much problem now, but when i was with another outfit running a 53 foot all the time sucked. 48 footers are same turning radius without having to watch tailswing, and adding a dump valve to the rear axle will help turns as well as save your tires scrubbing so much.
I still occasionally curb things, but usually not as bad as many others have if damage marks on curbs are any indicator
You can turn your steer axle stops out a little bit more to get better turning and you want to get real comfortable knowing EXACTLY where your nose is.Brettj3876 and God prefers Diesels Thank this. -

2) anyone notice the color scheme of the tow truck, on how it seems to mimic a Swift truck? -
Baby steps and test, and when you have it as far as youre comfortable with, put it back in half a turn because youre probably wrong that its okay and you DONT want to learn that when you're loaded to the gills with a big coil at a tight tight intersectionBrettj3876 Thanks this. -
Looked like to me he could have backed off the barrier.
Would have damaged the skirt though .QuietStorm Thanks this. -
