hes talking about like when your trucks constantly turn slightly to one side (usually the heelside), or "drifting" to the side. all trucks will do this, think about it, your going to have more weight on your heelside because thats just how you stand so your bushings just get more compressed on that side. if they're new trucks, then just wait a week or two until you get the bushings broken in. basically the only thing you can do it just try to stay as centered as you can and maybe do some heelflips and stuff to balance it out. if you only doing fs 5050s, then learn some bs 5050s.

By hold drift, do you mean drift less? If so, yes.
