When semi bow wave reaches rear of trailer, tow vehicle zigs a bit right.
When bow wave passes trailer axles, zag to left begins.
When bow wave reaches front of trailer/back of tow vehicle little zig right again.
This motion is ocillation at the hitch so I call it "sway" even though it is not severe.
As you know depending on wind, road, and differential speed of the overtake you may or may not have to put in some rudder this way and that... it is more of an annoyance and is tiring on long days on the I road.
I would prefer the normal "single push" you get as the bow wave reaches you.
Thanks for the replies
