I always go straight out as far as I can, and then cut to the right. If its a sharper turn I will sometimes get the tractor all the way over i to the lane to my left whether its an oncoming traffic lane or not to make sure my trailer will clear any ditches/signs/power poles
What if you have to turn sharply enough that you can no longer see the trailer in your convex mirror? I drive a daycab so I can cheat and look out the back window but you can't do that in a sleeper.
If the left hand turn lane is blocking your right hand turn. How would waiting for them to have a green allow them to get out of your way to proceed forward? They'd be stuck, because their opposite traffic(who has the right away before they do) would no doubt pull up behind you, waiting for you to move. And they can't make their left because now those cars are blocking. The only option at some intersections is to wait for them to back up. Especially if they're beyond the white line, like we all know they do.

@Josevatz293 If its a 1ton truck by its self, whitout a trailer then no. If you are pulling a 40 foot goose neck or 5th wheel trailer then yes. It also depends on the truck wheelbase configuration such as short bed, long bed, or long bed with 4 door. For example I have a chevy 3500hd dulley flatbed. Short wheelbase allows a very tight turning radius unlike a ford king ranch f350 4door long bed.
Great video! Thank you for sharing these important tips on how to safely complete a right turn in a semi-truck. It's crucial to be aware of blind spots and use proper signaling to ensure the safety of yourself and others on the road. I also have videos on my channel (@CompanyDriver) that cover similar topics, so be sure to check them out too!

Should have showed the turn from a above angle.
Y? You got a drone when you drive?
@@moroteseoinage what you mean ?
@@moroteseoinageit helps in the learning process, and they showed one but cut it off halfway through the turn for some reason.
Does the same apply in the state of Texas ?

Make sure you have enough room on the right to complete a button hook maneuver
Do these apply to one ton trucks such as a Chevy 3500 duramax
Are you pulling a trailer?

This video didnt show how far to go out into the yellow line.. the most important part
I was told in trucking school that when the yellow line hits your wiper blade, cut the wheel hard to the right
Wes sounds like he downed a pint of jack before recording this video.
