There are a couple of ways, and it all depends on how many other cars are waiting at the intersection. If I approach the intersection, it's a road with one lane going each direction and there's no one there, I get all the way over in the far left edge of my lane. I watch my trailer tandems as I enter the intersection, and when I get them within five feet or so of the corner, I start turning.
If I get a road with two lanes going each direction I do the same thing but it doesn't matter so much who's at the intersection.
If there's someone there, I do a "button hook" turn--wait until the tractor's drive wheels get to the corner, then turn left, then right.
If things are really tight, there's a far easier way. Drive PAST the intersection and make three left turns--lefts are always easier than rights, because you've got more room to do them.
