For me it's swing her wide.

Driving on the highway is a cinch because the trailer does what it's supposed to do: trail behind you.

But anything less, like streets, parking lots, alleys, you do swing w-i-d-e. The easy way to do this is to drive around the longest, farthest path possible with your tractor, and the tandems will take their natural short cut. But this will avoid any cut-ins where you meet another truck's fender with the back half of your trailer.

Even late at night in a truck stop, where you end up in a narrow maze between parked trucks, this will keep you safe. (Do not forget to watch the mirrors in any case, though!)

Posted on all our mirrors..G.O.A.L. "Get out and look", saved me already from hitting something I didn't see...
