I am a triaxle driver with 8 years of experience hauling stone and dirt, the company I work for took a job hauling asphalt to a shoulder paver on the Interstate at night. We are in our first week of the job and I can't for the life of me figure out how to follow the paver and stay straight in the machine. The operators have been helpful, trying to tell me which way to steer but, a few times I've had to lower my body and reposition in the machine. I always get jammed on the left side of the paver. The stretch of road we are working on has long sweeping curves, with a 2ft x 2ft ditch milled to my right and the traffic lane on my left.
I know the operators have better things to worry about than telling me how to drive, and the other drivers have been of no help. I just want to get through the night without breaking something or pissing the crew off. Any help would be very much appreciated.
