Home › CDL Practice Tests › Combination Vehicles Questions › Question 109
In a sharp turn, roughly where will the trailer wheels track compared with the drive axles?
- A.Well inside the drive axle path, closer to the inside of the turn
- B.Exactly on top of the drive axle path
- C.Outside the drive axle path
- D.Ahead of the front wheels
Correct answer
A. Well inside the drive axle path, closer to the inside of the turn
Why
Each axle behind the steering axle cuts the corner more than the one ahead of it. The trailer tandems, being farthest back, take the tightest line of all.
