When entering a curve vehicle will wander over either center line or right line or roadway. Sudden right or left shifts in rear tandems. During dry weather driving and worse in rainy weather. Have addressed this with company and fmcsa and iowa DOT enforcement. Very dangerous to drive these tractors in this condition.”
