U-turns: the thread that shouldn't have to exist!

Unless you have your tandems set all the way back you do not need 53' of roadway.Your pivot point on the ground is different then your actual trailer length.You may need 53'+ of clearance for trailer swing but you don't actually need 53' of roadway.

 

Might be easier to dig out a ditch along the road.
Maybe a couple of big rocks
Or a big concrete toad
Or maybe a tree
or some tossed concrete blocks.

 

Probably nothing sweet and caring.

 

Made a dozen u-turns just today. Will make a dozen Monday, then again you have to to get into our yard. Can't believe that people find it that hard to figure out if they have enough room.

 

Those 53' guys would be crying trying to find a place to drop a trailer at the Quala wash in La Porte, TX. Need to grease up the fenders and be thankful for the set back steer axle. Makes the peelot in Nitro, WV look like a football field with two VW beetles at opposite ends.

 

Spike strip along the fence should do the trick... I am guessing that they hit it with the trailer tail swing.

Put up a sign that says..... "You hit my fence and video goes to your company."

 

No one said it was a valid place to turn around....
