Well I am going to add my two cents here if you guys don't mind, These truck turn remarkable well. Out West there are alot of what they call "Truck & Trailer Combinations" as opposed to "Tractor & Trailer" they are in all types of configurations.(Flatbed,Vans,Tankers,etc.)The newer ones are alot better turning and steering.Having setback front axle,Less radius from the wheel lock to lock,Cab height,Hoodslope and Visibility. The main thing to remember is it bends 30+ feet behind you instead of 8-10 feet behind you. No matter what,it has to follow you. The approach is modified but it still has to follow you. Well that paragraph wasn't even worth $.02. My simple mind is tainted with useless information.
