Basic Methods for Reversing a Semi-Trailer

[StMorgan]

Reversing a semi-trailer is different from reversing a car. Here is a related introduction to reversing a semi-trailer: 1. Adjust the position: Before reversing, adjust the position of the truck head and the trailer, trying to keep the truck head and the trailer in a straight line, or tilt the truck head toward the target parking space. 2. How to reverse: Follow the basic reversing process, and have someone guide you from behind. If you want to reverse to the left, turn the steering wheel clockwise; if you want to reverse to the right, turn the steering wheel counterclockwise. Note that you should not turn the steering wheel all the way at once. 3. Precautions: Adjust the reversing angle while reversing. If you cannot reverse successfully, move the vehicle forward slightly. Be careful not to let the rear of the trailer hit other objects. When most of the vehicle body has entered the target parking space, straighten the steering wheel and then adjust the position of the vehicle body appropriately.
