Amen to what you and theredparallel said. My small pickup truck weighs 4000 pounds. Truckers weigh about 80000 pounds...maybe more. They ALWAYS get my respect, courtesy and distance (between my vehicle and theirs). Stay safe and keep driving.
TheBrantfordRailfan Without trucks smarty pants you wouldn't have those panties you're wearing with the skid marks in them , you think a train is gonna drop it's cargo at Wal-Mart or target we truck everything in you own, unless you're planing on hanging out at the train yard to pick your stuff up.
Won't do a thing. Better would be a flap on the right rear corner of the trailer like the stop sign of a school bus. The flap moving out would catch almost everyone's attention.
@@JordanMichael-ty2ms I use to drive interstate fairly frequently in a big dually with commercial truck tires that made it sit fairly high. I would come up on a line of cars in the fast lane. Of course the ones at the back are just following the leader while the moron in front is pacing a car or semi beside them. I would flash my lights enough times that I could get most of them out of my way and then pull back a little and punch it. MOST of the time when these people saw a big truck flying up behind them that didn't look like it had any intentions of slowing down, they magically found their gas pedal. Lol! Seeing the whites of their eyes was a bonus. Hahaha Just make sure you have good brakes if you use that approach. :D Btw, out of state drivers from Ohio are without a doubt the absolute #1 worst for hogging the fast lane and blocking traffic and refusing to get over. I could have made millions betting the car at the front was from Ohio.
@@zaappp1588 entitled jackass much? I wouldn’t move an inch for your dumbass. Bully people on the road gets your shit hard lmao? Go get some help with your ego
Good video. At 2:29 you can really see how much room a full size truck truly needs to make a simple turn. 3:06 he made his turn too short he still hits the sidewalk.
Plus his tandems are too far back. I was wondering why I had trouble making those turns and why other truckers was making them just fine. Plus this vidoe is so old that it was made in the 1950's. Just look at the truck. I only found out through ATS. American Truck Simulator.
sometimes if you time it right you have to take up 2 lanes to make that turn especially if the curb corner is sharp and you got people standing there..
I wonder why these behemoths are still plugging up city streets. We need a better system for truckers so they can avoid urban and downtown areas to prevent traffic snarls. It has to be nerve racking taking a corner with pedestrians around. We are lucky to have so many folk who make good truck drivers.
@@PaddyO1958 don’t disagree I’ve always thought they should have massive warehouse outside major cities and drop product off there have box trucks and day cabs grab the loads be better on everyone truckers don’t enjoy being im city areas lol
most intersections here in Germany (also in other countries like Sweden or Norway) are built in a way that trucks normally can turn without pulling wide when making the tun or completing the turn (of course you have to pull bit wider, but most of the time not that much that you go into other lanes)
@@wakcedout primarily yes, but there are also a few trucks with a long front, both from European brands like Mercedes and Scania but also a few American ones; Semi trucks aren't the longest ones out on our roads; Double articulated buses or buses with a bus trailer are even longer
Rule of thumb l learned was it takes 3 lanes to make a left turn, it take 4 lanes to make a right, the is the set up, preparation, & visually "seeing" the lanes you need to make the maneuvers.
I have accident experience here. My first year. town type streets, 5 lane, turning onto a legal non truck route with 2lanes, parking one side and thank goodness I was the first one to the light that turned 5-700 ft before I got there. My trl was in the right lane and the middle lane and my tractor was in the turn lane. Signals on and working. Light changed, I was passed on the right and struck her car. She was NEVER in my view. Non-Preventable!! I learned when possible Take ALL the room you are given. Our courts work like basketball rules here. Whoever has the spot "first" is entitled to it. for clarity it took that room to put my truck in my lane only like hitting a parking spot
+raisin37 Yup, had the same experience in NYC. It's amazing how so many people (four wheelers) simply are too dense to understand that such a long truck needs room to turn. It's crazy.
New to trucking. So was the accident considered your fault or hers? And are you saying, you still do the same type of turns ("take ALL the room you are given")?
@@Patthebaker321 Its only his fault if he could have prevented the accident, since truck drivers are considered professional drivers. It sounds like he had no way of doing that.
Not an accident. When driving a semi, you hit a car or a pole and done low damage that is considered an incident. An accident is when you are involved in a fatal crash.
edge your truck to the left lane making sure speed bumps (cars) cant get in then if there is a car in the way do not back up. Run over speed bumps if needed.
yep good video thanks for the help BTW my instructor ( in his 70s ) tells me to turn from the far lane but block ( have my wheels just in the inside lane ) it seems to work ok
Piece of advice: if the vehicle is bigger than you, it has the right-of-way. If I'm driving a semi with a 39' trailer, I'll let the 53-footers in. But, I would expect a dump truck to let me in. Fair? Good. Now, let's all stay safe on the roads
No, it's mostly the truckers that act like everything is for them. If they have turn on to a street that doesn't have a set back then they're required to wait until they can safely make the turn. Instead they will turn and block all traffic, and want to blame the others for not bowing down. I prepare for turns, I expect there isn't a set back or a turning lane.
1:59 if you pull wide as you turn, how do you avoid hitting a car if theres one stopped at the red light ? 3:10 doesnt show any car stopped but thats rare to see no car.
I'm presently learning and it's relieving mine, slightly. It helps to remember that my actions may contribute to a stronger human species through facilitating natural selection.
Tom: Why wud a car know that a right turn signal wud mean the rig would go into the left lane first (there by doing a jug handle turn, which are very dangerous). The "preferred" method, of going wide late, is a button hook and much safer to everyone. Maybe the car thought the rig's right turn signal meant he was going to turn right, and NOT go left first.
Tom why should a car driver know this? A big rig is a piece of industrial machinery and it's the operators problem. Approach turns at a real slow speed and it's not an issue.
happened to me. I kept the trailer tight to the curb while turning. but checking the fish eye mirror I see a small car has squeezed between the tandems and the curb. I stopped before running over the car. she needed to back up and surprised me when she jumped the curb then drove down the sidewalk until clear of my truck then dropped onto the street.
In Australia, we take up both lanes to "discourage" the use of either, and turn from the second lane. What that driver did was force the car out of the way. If we did that and the car didn't move and we connected, the truck driver would be at fault.
I've pulled 57' trailers before. As if 53' is not long enough. I see both sides of this. Shipper wants to ship more by having longer trailers, but roads are not built for this. So there's no easy solution to this.
If you go wide on a right turn and the car hits you in the inside it is legally the other drivers fault. At least that's how its been for us in CA. Last driver crushed a car trying to pass on the right they were at fault.
2:30 the truck drives pass the double yellow lines, isn’t that a bad thing? If a car were driving while the truck was making that turn would the truck be at fault or the driver
Thanks for this video I'm thinking of going into trucking ,since there are little jobs here in Nebraska , ill I see is jobs in the paper for trucking so that's what I'm going for ...
If you make a right tight turn, its the safest option to use both or more than 1 lane to make the turn. This way other vehicles cant pass you on your left side ;)
if u are stopped at a redlight or stop sign and want to turn right if a car is in the left turn so u cant complete your turn do u wait until nobody is in the lane or turn and make them back up?
OK. Now what if your right turn light is green and the oncoming traffic has red and cant go anywhere if you are turning in the lane without going over into the left due to cars waiting there too?
Hello Here in West Aus the truck licenses are Heavy Rigid (HR) then a semi trailer is a Heavy Combination -(HC). The biggest trucks - Roadtrains have multiple trailers 2 or 3 and they are driven on a Multiple combination (MC) licenses I passed my HC how did you go ?
Greed? Yes and no. Think where we would be without the 53'. We would have a lot more trucks on the road. The fr8 that would not fit in a shorter trailer would go in another trailer. That is the reason some shippers want even longer trailers. Last I heard there was a freeze on trailer size and weight.
I'm here because a semi truck cut me off.....he was on the right lane ahead of me but the light turned red. His turn signal was on to turn right but while the light was red he moved to the left lane only half way in to the left side and half way in the right side of the lane. Once the light turned green, he completely moved to the left lane next to me. So I went straight since it was green. His turn signal was still on for the right turn so I thought how weird. He then started making the right turn from the left lane while I was driving straight. He never looked both ways or even slowed down. He cut me off so I honked at him and he looked back at me flipping me off. He then completed the turn but I've never seen a truck driver do this before
There a significant lag in the reaction of the rear tandems to the steering axle which can be measured in feet. Using a forty foot trailer's which is or was the norm when I first started driveing. It's 8 feet. Obiviously with today's longer tractor's and trailer's, the footage has increased. If and when one develops a technique referred to as doing a "Button Hook". Regardless of which direction they turn. If and when done correctly. One can if and when traffic warrent's it. Make any corner, without issue's. A driver really only need's to pay attention to steer axle and the last axle on the trailer or set of trailer's they are pulling. It's ironic how a OTR long hauler, will after spending a couple of week's or longer. Utilize the technique which is quite noticeable to any and all other's. When they park the truck, get into their auto and drive home. Will instintively continure to do though considerably shorter; Button Hooks.
Just curious, what's an HC license? Commercial here is class A, used to be Class 1, not sure when it changed. I'm going for my CDL in a month or so. Should be interesting. Good luck to you!
No doubt greed plays a big part. All I was trying to say is the highways are overcrowded plus there is a so called "driver shortage" so more trucks on the road would be a bad thing, I think?? Not sure I believe the "driver shortage", I think there is a shortage of drivers that will drive at the wages that are being offered. Good luck getting your CDL. I drove for 12 years. Not a bad gig, just a lot of time away from home.
jasonhpi that's correct. it's not a preferred turn. DOT doesn't want you making button hooks if possible. I only make them if it is absolutely necessary.
In Texas, u wud fail the road test doing a wide early turn, called a jug handle. Turning wide late in TX is legal, called a button hook. This is shown in the Texas CDL book.
right turn lane...how about a dual right turn lane into a 3 lane road, can you then use the outside lane and creep left into lane 3, and end up in the middle lane? seems smarter than cutting of the left right turners.... i have searched everywhere and cant find this answer...
Agreed, but alas, there's always going to be someone who wants to go faster than you. Even if you're going 65 in a 55 zone, you'll have people riding your ass so they can go 80 in a 55.

Also, if at all possible, try not to have your trailer axles all the way back. Have them toward the front to help lessen the turning radius needed.
love old. school videos
Ahh nothing like training videos from the 90's. Crappy music and long overdrawn introductory splashes.

With the tandems all the way back jeez

Technically, the truck was in the lane first. The car was responsible for braking and yielding to traffic regardless of the trucks turn signal.

The most cases of crashes from making right hand turns is one people not paying attention to the bigger vehicle turning. People not turning properly.

This is after making sure your tandem axle is not all the way back.
