Section 2. Operating Hazards
Long and Wide Loads / Rear Swing 2-3
Long and Wide Loads / Rear Swing
With long or wide loads, you need more room. So slow
down and watch your clearance.
A long load reduces the capacity of the truck. Know and
understand your truck load rating.
When extra-long material makes it necessary to travel with the
load elevated, do so with extreme care and be alert to load end-
swing when turning.
When turning, be sure the rear end of the truck does not
swing into racks, posts, etc. Watch for pedestrians beside
the truck.
