CDL · Passing and lanes
A heavy load is keeping your truck slower than the traffic around you. What should you do?
Correct answer: Keep to the right-hand lane.
Answer options
- AMove to the left-hand lane
- BKeep to the right-hand lane Correct
- CTravel along the shoulder
Why
A slow, heavily loaded truck belongs in the right lane, where faster vehicles can get around it without being held up. The left lane is meant for passing, and the shoulder is not a travel lane.
