13 years of driving around Chicago. My advice, do it fast like a bandaid. Just make the turn using the entire road. And I mean all of it. But do it quick enough that no one even has time to cut you off on the inside. Works like a charm.

Definitely necessary the closer you get to downtown. Sometimes there is too much traffic, though, and you just have to make the best of what you’ve got, and try to at least not take out a street sign or lamp post on the corner🤣

@@thegamingtruckdriver I appreciate the kind words. It’s not too bad once you know where you’re going (map it out fully ahead of time with Google maps and truck GPS). Always have a backup plan in case of construction and only give people so much room. Also, and I can’t stress this enough, get a dashcam. Too many people trying to get those insurance claims!

GREAT video 👏👍👍👍(Learned 🧠 ALOT!!) Just purchased a 24ft Enclosed Trailer (Leaving California). So this video helped me TREMENDOUSLY (to know how to take/handle corners & turns). Especially the part about using Google Maps (to “see” your route, before you drive it - BRILLIANT suggestion). This video (and the Map) will take ALOT of “Fear” 😰 out of my cross-country trip. THANKS 😄👍

There’s a few spots in LA where you have no choice but to ride the curb to make a right turn and your trailer will get super close to the traffic light, I always get paranoid that I will take out the light.

In school, I was taught to use the spot mirror and flat mirror for turns, but after 6 years behind the wheel, I find that the hood mirror is best. I have a much wider field of view. However, I still use the spot mirror as a backup

I'm in a daycab so I can cheat and look out the back window. I hit something once when i was a rookie in a condo turning right onto a narrow road from a somewhat narrow road. I was turned sharp enough that the trailer wasn't visible in my convex and the truck didn't have hood mirrors. Not blaming the truck, I was the guy driving it, I should have gone wider.

When I drove OTR I started out on the east coast and I'm from the midwest. Never drove a rig before and I learned driving a rig really quick... Lol. That east coast sucks and those 4 wheelers are nuts. Watch those mirrors at all times, especially on right turns. What I learned was to hug that curb with the trailer keep those idiots from trying to get past you during a turn. On right tight turns I turned into the curb, then swung left just enough to make room for the turn keeping my trailer on the right as far as possible. If you can drive that damn east coast you can drive just about anywhere. Good luck to all you new drivers, stay safe and watch those mirrors and keep them clean. Your mirrors are your best friend.

Good stuff good stuff keep it rolling

Seeing it in the sim was very helpful to understand

advice to new driver here training for license, hitting curbs is fine just don't panic, take your time and learn things, once you get grab of things it will be lot easier. Just be patient in driving, take your time even when you have become experienced driver

Last turn was perfect 👍

Crashes into car..."no he's fine". 🤣

Super lesson 👍

I have just scribed and thank you 🙏 for sharing

This video shows that smaller vehicles and their drivers need a lot of respect for large trucks and truck drivers. We all share the road.

very helpful thank You.

If you want to make right turn,go straight to next block. Turn left,go a block,turn left.go a block,now you are back to street you wanted to turn right on, but you can use ALL lanes to turn left now,end up going way you wanted.

I know that sounds safe but you are pretty much getting into 4 intersections instead of just 1 .. so I feel like it would be maybe more dangerous.. I’ve driven a bit in cities.. Dallas .. LA .. Salt Lake City .. Chicago.. Portland.. and they’re all different but I realized that a lot of people see you and try to get out of your way or give you space to get by safely too .. or you can wait and turn when it’s safe to go ..

This helps a lot looks simple and easy when someone who know how to do it but all these small details is you making that turn or not good details , backing is the hardest but still you need to know how to drive the truck In city

Awesome video!!

You are a crazy driver. 😂😂

Very good tutorial mate love the vid, youre right im here for the reverse videos but still good, you made a good point the road test rules for turning screw u up in the real world trust me i drive local in ny-nj

Much appreciated sir

Excellente 👏👏👏

I was well trained to do bottom hooks for right turns safely with respect and courtesy for others drivers at the intersection and people love it when a perfect set-up can be done to perform that right turn without bother them to backup. His advices are good but never think the turn that you already know it woul be always the same like he said never take your eyes away from everything while performing a turn. I woul say never move faster than you can see.

Thanks a lot! I just got my permit for class A. I’m about to start school 🏫 learning about the in cab inspection and out inspection. It’s good to learn early what you was teaching and it was very helpful. Thanks again!

I can’t wait for the game to come out

Smart car drivers watch thr truck because of one simple reason, truck v car...truck always wins.

I like the real world scenarios.

The ending was great lmao

Not sure why I’m still watching after 8 mins lol. I’m using the entire road to make a turn if I have to lol. Been doing it for years and will keep doing it because it’s safer and practical. Better to go more wide than be too tight... obviously after making sure the lane or lanes your gonna use aren’t occupied.

Thats interesting now for me they taught us to turn right when your body's shoulder reach the top corner of the curb where it goes straight. It works great but just gotta be cautious as some top corners are tricky or at an obtuse angle which means turns even later or narrow so you gotta turn left then right

It's a shame only six hundred or so people have seen this..... The amount of shitty drivers that Canada is putting on the road right now, its ludicrous. They all need to watch this video and kudos to you for trying to teach people.👍

If you are driving down narrow streets... it's better to make three left turns for your right turn.

These turns you demonstrated reminds me of the extreme button hook right turn from northbound cicero to Armitage or 130° left turn from division to Elston in Chicago☹

@@OtherworldlyTV haha! Most streets in Chi-town is not semi truck route. Any can best believe that. The company I drive for is Connors Transportation, with the Central American account. Shultze and Burch at 35th & Racine is where I usually drop and hook. The trailers we pull are mostly pieces of shit. Most of which cannot have the tandems slid back and forth.. The right turn from 35th S to Ashland W is very challenging when your tandems are all the way to the back.

Nice informative video💯,@13:30 my bad😆😆

Ty

God love you

They better back up. Who has time to look back. It takes 2 and half lanes to pull off clean turn. Be a beast. They will move

6:03 I’ve encountered this in Phoenix,AZ & Porterville,CA

To make a right turn its best to use a Jug Handle turn... the trailer will block the four-wheeler from getting between you and the curb.

Stay straight turn late...and get all the real estate you can in setting up before you turn and when you see the opportunity...also if you see you're blocked sit still with your signal on honk and motion that guy stopped across the intersection to come on out, you have to wait for him in tight situations sometimes, no other way to make some of those right handers especially in older cities. I've gotten out with the hazards on before to splain it... everyone can wait, or you will twist metal and really screw up everything.

I know you hit that last car on purpose. Hilarious!

Hmm,I think maybe aiming for the nearest curb or just before the curb for the left hand turn and just following it makes sense to me rather than going straight past and then adjusting for the curb. As for the right aiming just before the yellow line in the left side could be good enough. The trailer from a certain point of view ends up where you are looking but just in a delayed manner.
