Defensive Driving · Driver Training VideoRollover Prevention

A loaded truck rolls before it slides, and a rollover is the crash that most often kills the truck driver. Drivers learn to cut speed before ramps and curves, hold the wheel when a tire drops off the pavement, and avoid braking mid-curve.

What drivers learn

A rollover is the crash that most often kills the driver of the truck. It happens to experienced drivers, on routine runs, at speeds that felt fine. Your weight rides high.

Rollovers cluster in two places

The first is ramps and curves. The advisory speed on that yellow ramp sign was calculated for a passenger car, not for eighty thousand pounds with its weight in the air. Loaded, you belong well under it.

The second place is the shoulder. Drop your right wheels off the pavement and every instinct says yank it back. That yank is what rolls trucks. Hold the wheel. Ease off the throttle. Stay off the hard brakes and let the speed bleed down.

The load decides much of this before you ever move. Heavy freight belongs low and centered, not stacked high. Federal securement rules are the floor, not the goal. Your tiedowns together must be rated for at least half the weight of the cargo.

Your company standard: you take ramps and curves under the posted advisory speed, loaded or empty. You slow before the curve, never in it. You never jerk the wheel, not on the shoulder, not around an obstacle, not for anything.

Nobody plans to roll a truck. It happens to drivers doing exactly what you will do tomorrow, only a few miles an hour faster than the load allowed.

Sample quiz questions

3 of the 10 questions drivers answer after the video. Quizzes run in the driver's own language.

Why is a loaded truck more likely to roll than slide in a turn, compared to a car?
  1. Trucks have narrower tires than cars
  2. The truck's center of gravity rides much higher above the road than a car's
  3. Trucks have weaker brakes than cars
  4. Trucks are heavier, so friction holds them in place
Show answer

The truck's center of gravity rides much higher above the road than a car's

The advisory speed posted on a ramp or curve sign was calculated for:
  1. An empty straight truck
  2. A loaded tractor-trailer at highway speed
  3. A passenger car
  4. A truck with stability control
Show answer

A passenger car

What is the correct way to handle your speed before a curve?
  1. Brake hard mid-curve if the trailer starts to feel light
  2. Maintain highway speed and only slow if the trailer starts leaning
  3. Speed up slightly through the curve to keep momentum stable
  4. Get your speed off before the curve, in a straight line, then come through steady
Show answer

Get your speed off before the curve, in a straight line, then come through steady
