tanbuddy Posted September 8, 2011 Share Posted September 8, 2011 (edited) Im going for a new job next week, the test isdriving a 48 foot van with a daycab. Ive never driven something this long before, just a tandem dump with a 30 or so foot long tag trailer and excavator. How different is it gonna be, if someone has experience with both that woud be helpful.

slpwlker Posted September 9, 2011 Share Posted September 9, 2011 Daycab and a 48'r should be a cake walk. If the axles slide maybe try sliding them up alittle. It will help in the turns. I don't have alot of tag experience. Just feel it out and maybe take a few real wide turns till you get the feel of it. also you can turn tighter with a 5th wheel Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/20514-tag-trailer-vs-5ht-wheel/#findComment-85417 Share on other sites More sharing options...
