He's entirely too jolly for such a deadly serious road-ragey contention. lol.

Gud video

What we know ad the Button Hook

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.

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.

Anyone knows which city it is ??

2:12 Proceeds to cut off four wheeler when making a right hand turn👍

Nice

People on the road today drive like it's their goal to get crushed by a semi

With all the illegals coming in our country, signs will now have to be in Spanish, Chinese and Arabic, besides English.

Tandems to the rear. Why not slide them forward ?

The person that is crossing the road at 0:50 is also the cause of accidents.

I remember when I was in my car making a left turn when I saw a car in the right lane making a right turn behind a semi and cutting in between the trailer tandem wheels of the semi and the right curb. When the light turned green, the car tried to move forward to turn right. The trailer wheels then removed the car's front bumper left side.

"Caution, this vehicle makes wide right turns" "Caution, stay back 200 feet" Average length of an 18 wheeler is 72 feet. Average radii of a street corner can be anywhere between two and 15 feet. This information is in public domain. Unfortunately, most drivers are bad at math and can't solve simple problems and besides too many live by the 'Me, myself and I' code. It's so damn simple. Just let the large vehicles do their thing, give them the room they need and stay clear. These heavy machine operators are busy working.

REPENT AND FOLLOW JESUS CHRIST BEFORE ITS TOO LATE 🔴,.

Its not gonna be that bad if your tandems are slid to the front ... as in this video tandems are slid all the way back.

If you’re driving in a city move your tandems all the way forward!

Thats a 40 with a day cab, try a sleeper for a 53.... u would have to take up all 3 lanes

*PromoSM* 🏃

When the person getting out, they are faced forward and jump off the steps. We were told never do that due to safty. Curious

Damn, this shit came out during the crack era🤣🤣🤣🤣

That's not a 53' trailer either, wheels are at the rear end so the video doesn't take "tail swing" into account. Doing a button hook with a 53' with the wheels forward will take out a car in the lane to your left.

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

My cdl book says the left lane to turn right maneuver is forbidden

The CVSA is an absolute joke. You’re just another for profit entity that oversteps your boundaries and get laws passed to infringe on people’s lives. You people have no knowledge of the industry. I think you people started off with good ideas at some point but now all it’s about is complete control over people and you’re doing by telling everyone it’s about safety and everyone in the industry knows it’s more about profits.

I've never seen a car stupid enough to pass a truck on the right side while it was turning right. Can anyone show me a link of a video of that happening?

Please, anyone watching this, never do this. This is called a jughandle. Keep your tandems as close to the curb as you can and do what's called a "buttonhook". If this is correct, the method you have described, please reference where I can find this from any credible source. A DMV manual, DOT, CDL drivers manual. Not from someone who says "Trust me, I know because I've been doing this for a long time". Or the other one is "Trust me, I know, I've been doing this for 30 years". Immediately question anything they say. You know why? *Trust me,I've been do this for a long time.* 😂 This makes me curious because the creator is an insurance company.

I believe anyone trying to pass a truck as they make a right turn should be dragged out of their car, raped, and then killed It's only fair and we need to make it a law

2:21 are we just gonna ignore him pushing the car out

Thanks

Enforce existing laws maybe 🤔

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.

awesome video one of the best thank you

Total waste. Tone down the airport music and leave the messages up, longer. Way short on explanations as well. Less than 3 minutes on yard move on speed dial is very poorly done and poorly explained

Never back up

like it! this is amazing vlog~ Western,

Excellent BEST REGARDS 11 July 2022

I use the "American Truck Simulator with no damage, 500,000 hp, and 300 K.P.H. transmission mods' technique 🚁~~ 🚁~ 🤸‍♂️ 🤸🚚~~~ 🚓 ~ 🚓 ~ 🏫 🚑 ~~~ 🚒~ 🏥

I believe these types of concepts should be taught before getting a regular license. So they know how to behave around trucks

Now try this in a longer truck with a sleeper.

My trucking school told us to never use that technique of going into a turn whilst driving into oncoming traffic before the turn. But it makes sense. Was told if done on the test it would be an automatic fail though. I have heard a lot of contradictory stuff with the "rules" or "techniques" to use.

What if the other cars aren’t able to move out the way?

With the tandems all the way back jeez

Put a sleeper on that truck

I love that music so much it made me feel like training for a martial arts fight.

I know this is the proper way to turn, did it for years. It always bothered me to have my right signal on and then swing into the left lane. I started putting the left blinker on for a second or three as I swung out and right back to the right once I knew the left lane was mine. As I said I know it is not the taught way and would probably fail a cdl test.

Am a Kenyan driver and driving between Kenya and DRC CONGO, can i join you people and get a position of a truck driver's

The problem isn't that the 4 wheelers think is our fault after they smashing into us, The problem Is that the police and the court system let them think it's our fault when they smash into us.

hello truck simmers and future CDL holders alike
