Swing too wide, cut the wheel, back up and jack knife the tractor. That works too, moves the piviot point forward.

Yeah honestly though this is the result of greedy shippers, receivers, and trucking companies. Trucks with 53 foot trailers used to delivery to truck terminals on the outskirts of many cities, but everyone wanted to save money. Now you have scrapes on almost every stoplight and underneath every bridge. It's all due to greed.

Yeah, but we need more regulations to keep shippers and receivers on the outside of large cities. This shouldn't have to happen. It's the result of greed. Some company wants their stuff delivered IN THE CITY to save money, at the behest of regular drivers. I guarantee that's what's going on here.

He could have made it alot easier on himself had he swung his tractor out into the lane to his left before comming up to the intersection & then proceeded with his right hand turn& end up dragging his trailer up & over the sidwalk. Its all about making room for your trailer to turn on the blind, inside turn. But then again, i was born & raised in the old school way, with old school trucks, & learning how to make room on both inside & outside turns. Our old school truck tractors were alot longer than these shorter ones with the setback axles, which required longer turning radius's. Truck safe everyone.
