Trucks have tandem drive axles, meaning that the front end is only doing part of the job. While the front tyres do the turning and absorbs the side forces that go along with negotiating a turn, it’s important that the drive axles be properly in line as well, if the drive axles are even slightly misaligned, they can cause a ‘trust’ angle or a ‘scrub’ angle problem, either pushing the vehicle away from the centre line or trying to turn the vehicle in either case. This could accelerates wear on the front tires, fatigues the driver from trying to keep the truck in a straight line and consume more fuel.

Although wheel alignment on light vehicles and trucks' consists of basically the same concept; trucks have a bid more cause for concern around misalignment. Trucks uses trailers which are loaded and some trailers may wary between a single link (2 axles) and/or a link (4 axles), meaning that the load and weight type is different in comparison to light commercial vehicles. Based on the dangers with misalignment on trucks lets explain the progress. When your wheels aren’t aligned (in a straight line) it may cause your truck to pull or drift out of a lane. Proper wheel alignment is necessary for handling the vehicle easily. Maintaining straight trajectory is difficult which can also cause driver fatigue and strain as a result.
