TIGHT TURNS IN A SEMI TRUCK - THE ULTIMATE COMPILATION

If you've driven transport trucks before, you'll know that they need a LOT of space for making turns. Usually more than what the painted lines will give you. You have to plan your approach with almost every turn, and often take up the space of the left-hand-turn lane you're approaching. Sometimes traffic gets it and gives you space, other times you have to get a bit "creative" in telling other traffic you're going to need their lane. All in all as long as you come home with your bumper straight you're doing alright!
This is a mix of a few different tight turns I've made. Some you may have seen in my other videos, others are exclusive to this video! Some are easier than others, some are lucky there was no traffic around!! Haha anyways enjoy!

[@ryanr1945]

When it looks easy, that's because hes good at his job.

[@valentnoburnette3350]

It looks easy because it IS easy swing wide watch ur trailer call it a day. It's just driving a truck not flying a spaceship. 🙄

[@zaggaona]

Its satisfying to see 4 wheelers recognizing ahead of time that the semi will need the clearance and stay back

[@OutSkirtz]

It’s rare. People always pull car lengths over that white line lol

[@ffhjvbuydb78eb]

@@OutSkirtz I'm one of those that watch out for them. We have a four way stop light in front of our walmart and Kraft is on the other side of the intersection from walmart and I sometimes see a semi coming up and getting ready to turn and I stop some back so they can easily make the corner. About 90% of the time the truck driver waves to me

[@Backyardmech1]

I’m the same way. If I miss them and see them needing to come by I just try to get out of the way. Working in residential areas where lots of home construction going on it’s tough on the guys taking heavy loads on streets meant for 4 wheelers.

[@DhirC35]

I thought that was common sense to people but i was proven wrong time and time again
