How to make a truck move realistically?

Hello, I have a model which I added a task executer, and then double-clicked on it, went to the General tab and changed the shape to a Semi Truck.

Now, I have a semi truck, but the movement of the truck is very odd and moves sideways.

How can I make it as if it was a real truck loading and unloading and turning right and left?

In the attached model you can see what I mean.

Thank you very much in advance! :)

The typical direction of travel is x-direction (red cones). If you highlight an object, you see the drag cones. Please edit the shape factor settings for rotation on general object tab to rotate 90 degree in z positive or negative. Please try.

But before you change the object size to x = 30, y = 4, z = 6.61, clear the reset position of the context menu of the taskexecuter object. Otherwise the resized object is reset to your settings.

@Jörg Vogel I thank you very much for your answer.

I played a little bit with the shape factors like you told me, and it worked!

Thank you very much again!
