Trucking: Backing, steering wheel, straight line

Question
When straight line backing how much should you turn the steering wheel to keep the tractor and trailer moving in a straight line.

Answer
Hi Tony,

Only move the steering wheel very little. If you start fish tailing the tractor trying to correct, stop and pull forward just enough to straighten out. Try to think about following the trailer. Look at your target, aim your trailer and follow the trailer.


I hope this helps, Israel
