You learn to drive smooth. No sudden throttle no sudden brakes. You plan all your moves way farther ahead then when you just have a 50ft with freight behind you.

In fact when i drove semi the load most guys hated was hanging meat. Since they hang from the top of the trailer when you go around a corner they swing like a pendulum. Very easy to end up wrong side up.
