turning radius
(OP)
I am a stuctural guy trying to help someone with some drafting standards. I have been tasked with finding the turning radius of a HS-20 truck. I can't find this information anywhere, but I have found the turning radius of several vehicles. All I can find about HS-20 trucks is the load pattern. My question is this, is a HS-20 the name of the load pattern that develops from a truck, not the actual name of the truck?
