I always go straight out as far as I can, and then cut to the right. If its a sharper turn I will sometimes get the tractor all the way over i to the lane to my left whether its an oncoming traffic lane or not to make sure my trailer will clear any ditches/signs/power poles
What if you have to turn sharply enough that you can no longer see the trailer in your convex mirror? I drive a daycab so I can cheat and look out the back window but you can't do that in a sleeper.
Great video! Thank you for sharing these important tips on how to safely complete a right turn in a semi-truck. It's crucial to be aware of blind spots and use proper signaling to ensure the safety of yourself and others on the road. I also have videos on my channel (@CompanyDriver) that cover similar topics, so be sure to check them out too!
@@jamesd1672 speaking in general. Company just bought the specific truck I’m talking bout and was wondering. I’m starting to get into trucks so I’m learning
@Josevatz293 If its a 1ton truck by its self, whitout a trailer then no. If you are pulling a 40 foot goose neck or 5th wheel trailer then yes. It also depends on the truck wheelbase configuration such as short bed, long bed, or long bed with 4 door. For example I have a chevy 3500hd dulley flatbed. Short wheelbase allows a very tight turning radius unlike a ford king ranch f350 4door long bed.

Should have showed the turn from a above angle.
Y? You got a drone when you drive?
@@moroteseoinage what you mean ?
This video didnt show how far to go out into the yellow line.. the most important part
I was told in trucking school that when the yellow line hits your wiper blade, cut the wheel hard to the right
Haha, don't forget to come to a complete stop at a stop sign...
Totally caught that too. California rolled it in a how-to tutorial lol

Make sure you have enough room on the right to complete a button hook maneuver
Do these apply to one ton trucks such as a Chevy 3500 duramax
Are you pulling a trailer?
