Lug nuts missing

The reason why I come asking here is for advice , because the next truck service is at 62 miles and I ending up call mechanic. I know it not safe.

NO NOT SAFE!!!

Knowing you need to ask this question is rather scary.

Haven’t check pre trip when we switch last night , I don’t know how just two missing

If these were torqued to 350 to 400 ft lbs, how did two suddenly just disappear?

I'm thinking a 53 inch trailer might be hard to see behind your tractor :)

Well, the rigs I posted 'were' (almost) 53" .. LoLoL.. NOT!

Didn't anyone else learn, by backing up a toy? This set of 4 has almost ALL set ups covered; various wheelbase, condo, l/w, daycab, reefer, etc! Just 'google search' the image; I'm not here to 'sell' anything. It 'may' be on Amazon, but that's not where we got ours!

Best always,

ps: I think Tom bought this for the kiddo(s) and Mommy ...

needed em' more, haha! confused.gif rofl-3.gif confused.gif

Thank you for your advice

Try to find reference points to help you know how far to let truck turn/when to start your counter steer.

Examples: when your wind wing on tractor hits the DOT tape on trailer between the 1st red line and 2nd white line in my spot mirror, its time to counter steer and straighten out.

When my tires are even with the center of my landing gear in mirror, time to turn, ETC…

Also, ask your fellow students what they are using and find what works best for you and adjust those general areas to how your seated in the truck.

It an automatic and 53 inches trailer

It's hard to say without knowing what equipment you're learning on.

My advice would be go slow, steer slow and react when you see what you need to see.

It's vague, but it's how I learned.
