    I have done so many u turns with a trailer, I dunno if it's against company policy, but it needs to be done sometimes.
    Heck, if the op had a trailer when he did his, it probably wouldn't have set off the camera.

    I wonder why a u turn is such a big deal in the first place?
    ..... I can't even count how many u turns I've made with zero problems ever !!!
    I wonder how terrified the safety guy would be, if he saw one of his drivers do a flip shot ?
    .... I bet he would get dizzy watching that on one of those creepy little spy cameras and also have the driver make an extremely " oh crap, oh crap" look on his face to make it look real
    .....if he called asking questions just tell him that's your style
    .... "Yes sir can't help it.... It's my driving face , it keeps me on my toes "

    Let me see if I have this straight.

    The extra placard you had displayed was the "dangerous" placard?

    LTL guys including myself do U-turns every day with never a word said, and never a word WILL be said if nothing or nobody gets damaged.

    All this hoopla over U-turns is truly incomprehensible to me.
