WHAT ARE THE SIGNS OF A POOR TRUCK OR TRAILER ALIGNMENT

Signs of a Misaligned Truck or Trailer Include:

Toe Misalignment: Uneven tire wear, a noticeable vehicle pull to one side while driving, or difficulty keeping the vehicle centered in the lane.
Caster Misalignment: Unstable steering, difficulty maintaining a straight line, or increased driver fatigue due to constant corrections.
Camber Misalignment: Tilting of the wheels, uneven tire wear, reduced stability, and compromised handling during turns or on uneven surfaces.
Vibration or Shaking: Steering wheel or vehicle vibrations, especially at higher speeds, which can indicate alignment issues.
Irregular Tire Wear Patterns: Feathering, cupping, or scalloping on tire treads that reduces tire lifespan and affects overall vehicle performance.
Increased Fuel Consumption: Misalignment increases rolling resistance, leading to higher fuel usage.
Noise While Driving: Unusual squealing or grinding sounds coming from the tires, particularly when turning, can be a sign of alignment problems.

If you notice any of these symptoms, it’s crucial to have your truck and trailer alignment checked and corrected promptly. Addressing misalignment early prevents premature tire wear, improves safety, enhances fuel efficiency, and ensures a smoother driving experience.

PROPER AXLE PLACEMENT FOR TRAILERS

Proper axle positioning for trailers is essential to ensure balanced load distribution. Typically, the majority of the load should rest on the drive axle, while the steer axle supports a smaller portion. It’s also crucial to adhere to Alberta’s regulations regarding kingpin-to-rear-axle distances, which must be between a minimum of 20′ 6″ and a maximum of 41′ 0″. For semi-trailers, the total weight must not exceed 31,000 kg to avoid fines or penalties. Maintaining these standards not only ensures compliance but also promotes safer and more efficient transportation.
