- B.Stop in a safe place and check for problems such as a shifting load, a flat or soft tire, or a coupling or suspension defect
- C.Ignore it if the tractor feels fine
- D.Turn the trailer brakes off
Correct answer
B. Stop in a safe place and check for problems such as a shifting load, a flat or soft tire, or a coupling or suspension defect
Why
Persistent sway is a symptom, not just a driving problem. A shifting load, low tire, or worn component will keep feeding the swing until it is found and fixed.
