Re: Semi Semi Truck Drivers

I would have to watch someone to believe that they could back up
triples other than stright line and very short distance. The lenght of
the trip's would not help, just to many joints to control being pushed.
I pull rocky mountains NV/ID and Northern AZ. At times we have to back
them out of the loading plants, it is normally about 1 to 1 and half
truck/trailer lengths. As far as the guy backing doubles around corners
again I just dont believe it. I have heard the claim many times over
the years but always followed by excuses when they could not do it. The
over all length does not make it more stable in either direction. It
would if it was a single trailer because it would slow down the
reaction rate of the turn. But not with all the turn points.They are
however much more stable when loaded to out to legal. Watch out for
them in bad weather. The driver has no control of the rear trailer when
ice comes to play. Drive safe and enjoy the Holidays.
