Kenworth W900 is awesome truck, with one big flaw...
...It is turn radius. Seriously, it's like large boat!
Man, how to well handling this monster? Any advice here?

Still I love it so much. This huge block looks/feels like tank (minus no cannon, that is).
If this machine runs in my tiny country, road must be filled and no one can passing by lol.

I wonder if it's still used irl. Looks quite old model so...

Turn early and do the turn slowly.

The turning radius is the price you pay for it looking cool.

The turn radius is not really that bad.....if the game decides to spawn long trailers in a way which makes it difficult for you to get the trailer...

No idea how long it took me to get the trailer out of that place....

Shouldn't have taken more than 5 seconds. This game doesn't simulate trailer swing or tire blowouts from spinning in place. Go in at a 90 degree angle and pull right out.

It was not the problem to pull it out of that.....but the narrow housing at the back of the salt mine ;)

If the trailer had spawned in the other direction there would have not been a problem at all.

Yeah that second pic angle makes a lot more sense now.

I tend to go as far as I can before turning so the back of the trailer doesn't take down that sign when it cuts the corner

On some places it's impossible to precise parking, fortunately you can skip that

The W900 is still in production today and the design has remained largely unchanged for years. Its classic design appeals to many truck enthusiasts despite the wide turning radius it has.

If you want to learn, check Mike Pett's ATS vids on YT. Personally, I learned a lot from his vids.

I wish the same on cars, unlike the current trend that every car is a boring egg-shaped crossover suv.
