Very Tight Right Turns, What Would You Do?

Much older trucks, with their tandems able to slide more forward. Once, I got there all were saying why your tandems don't slide forward more? I was like my new GD trailer is not designed to do that! Also, there are truckers who use the trick I told you about, turning into the oncoming traffic on the other side of the flowerbed then backing up and turning into the right side of the flowerbed.

I mentioned this before, the Allied moving company had a truck with 53' tailer without sliding tandem and large truck that made him 80' pulled into a single lane residential street I live in with cars parked on both sides. I talked to the driver, how he managed to do it, he said he was at it for 40 years. I really wanted to stick around and see how he gets out of the neighborhood, but I did not have the time.

The worst fallacy of your argument is that if someone else did it you can do it too. I have heard that so many times in places that literally require a crane to pick your rig and stick it in the hole. My comeback is that call the person that did it because I am not doing it.

 

Stop damaging other people property due to your lack of skill! Driving through a flower bed is unacceptable in any circumstance.

was the customer on a dead end street? If not why not come at them from the other direction? Did you use the entire road to set up for your turn? Painted lines mean nothing when your Turing into a tight spot. You just have to wait for traffic to clear or work with you.

 

I'd do like I do almost every day. As I approach get on right lane. When i am almost up to the crosswalk. Cut out into left lane, so I'm taking up both lanes. Then when trailer is almost out of right lane, and I'm in middle or intersection. Cut back right, swinging wide, watch end of trailer turn that corner like a Volkswagen bug. I believe they call that a button hook turn.

 

You should totally follow this guy's example. That's how you deal with tight turns!

 

Now you're thinking outside the box.
