[@jamesleyseance1418]

Tank you sir, to help me passed my parking test. Specially, the technic you utilized for the offset maneuver while you count "one to five". Thank you one more time 👍🏿 i wish i could leave more thumbs up but you still have it in my heart❤💙 Thank you!

Doing my cdl training now and have a week left and the 90 is killing me. Got pretty much the rest down and ready for test.

[@ShantiD575]

Dude, same here! 😔 I hope you passed. Did the video help you? Do you have any advice for me? I’m stressing out so much about the 90. It's beyond frustrating to see almost everyone else get it, but I can't seem to execute the maneuver.

[@teonmccoy633]

The 90 is killing me too! Failed my CDL test on the 90 twice!

[@ShantiD575]

@@teonmccoy633 I finally conquered the 90 after getting a good feel for maneuvering my trailer and how to fix my mistakes when I don't perfectly nail the maneuver in one shot. Learn how your trailer moves and how to correct your mistakes, and you will pass. And have faith in yourself! My initial problem was following my instructor's bogus directions to a tee. His method wasn't honest or accurate. So, for a few weeks, I repeated the same bs method thinking there was something wrong with me without learning how to maneuver my trailer; I lost so much confidence in myself and grew frustrated! I practiced learning how to handle my trailer A LOT during the weekend course with a different instructor and finally mastered the maneuver. Now the 90 is my favorite maneuver. I passed my test on the first attempt and had to do the 90 on a course with gravel. My trailer moved so much faster on that course, but because I learned how to maneuver my trailer so well, I was able to complete the maneuver successfully. So many students have failed to do the 90 at that test site because of the gravel. I was pretty proud of myself for passing.

[@ShantiD575]

@@teonmccoy633 I like this Gentleman's teaching method, but I also like the youtube channel “My Trucking Skills.” I found the app “My Trucking Skills-The App” helpful in learning how to maneuver my trailer.

[@johnnybgood7442]

@@ShantiD575 congrats man. I'm thinking of getting into this as a new career. Is there any advice you would give someone like me that has NEVER driven in this type of capacity? I've looked into companies like CR England (companies that pay for CDL training) but they sell you on a 17 day training class which seems awfully compressed for a beginner like myself.

our alley dock course at the school im attending is much smaller. The hole you gotta get into starts at the bottom of the 4th yellow line. You barely have any room to turn your truck around. They say its the 72 feet from the entrance of the cones to the top.... means i gotta make a much tighter turn

[@cubbybutler84]

Show backing in tight spots like old truck stops when we had 42' trailers

[@ChillSosa412]

I didnt start alley dock but i nailed straight back first day but im stuck like chuk on offset i kinda wish u described it more , i see what your doing but it seem more like u just did it using the skill u learned over the years in the truck instead of explaining the moves

[@martymartin2894]

Is it not ok to stick your head out the window and look behind while backing up?.

[@toufikb1972]

Something i want to tell is that every truck is different on how much you can steer. Also it depends on the space you have.there are many ways how to park that why see your mirrors and the space given to you.

[@Midnight-Ranger]

is a student allowed to stick his head out the window while taking a backing test?

[@roninsixx3541]

Unfortunately for me the boundary line at my test site is literally the top yellow line in the offset lane. It is so tight that it demands 2 free pull ups and an extra and you only have about 10 to 15 feet to pull up to get the alignment right to back into the box. I know this because I have done it 30 or 40 times practicing and it is the same every single time. Additionally the cones at our test site are placed inside the white lines reducing the inside width by over 1 ft. Fail rate for the tester on 90 degree back maneuver is over 60%. I do not understand why the area is so small but it is what it is.

[@jacquemartinez8333]

I think I would contact someone who is way up on the command chain

[@jacquemartinez8333]

Maybe ask that they " re measure " that area ?

[@jacquemartinez8333]

Remember....you pay for it, so ask & if they say no, contact a local news reporter ????

Alley docking like that , you might hit another truck. Also you need reference points on where you need to break the trailer and where to catch it.

Is not true when u do back backing just moving leftw and right don’t work like that did not work for me thanks

[@mk72196]

Is it the same with a shorter trailer or do you have to make certain changes?

[@Gary-ld6ht]

Yes, it is the same, but the shorter the trailer the quicker it responds to your inputs.

[@jacquemartinez8333]

After looking at mirror, its to late, its before that

[@edwynmann3666]

My instructor want u to use one hand on all the backing

[@mrsunshine9948]

At counter 0:18 You might should have said something like: "While looking in the mirror, when the truck goes left, turn it just a little to left, then when the truck goes right, then edge it right, some." And then you might could have brought in with how you should do it just slightly, just a tad, and then the viewer would then know how to back strait.

COUNTING DOESN'T WORK!!!!!! This is exactly how so many CDL mills put dangerous drivers on the road. They're sitting in the cab counting instead of looking at what the trailer is doing and end up flattening a car. I[ve see it too many times. This guy is dangerously unqualified to be teaching.
