Mooney CDL Offset Backing to the Left

This video demonstrates the Commercial Drivers License requirement of Offset Backing to the Left. Mooney CDL Training videos cover pre-trip inspection, backing and driving skills identical to what you would learn at a truck driver school.

best way to take the test is to rent a flatbed trailer with a small daycab tractor, LOL

This driver has a whole football field to drive forward. In our yard, our set up is much tighter.

You make this look so easy.it’s taking me so long to learn 😫

[@FreiEternal]

Confusing. Directions don't match actions.

I just wanted to say thank you. You helped me with my offset more than any of my instructors and I was able to get my CDL. Some people can do the offset with one revolution but I never make a big enough maneuver.

[@R-BURQUENO]

In New Mexico the course is ONLY 140 feet long. And if you fail the driving portion or maneuver portion of the test you have to do the PRE-TRIP, MANEUVERS, & ROAD PORTION ALL OVER AGAIN!!! N.M. is the HARDEST state to get a C.D.L. license!!! N.M. SUX!!

[@sophia_jane]

Whether this maneuver works for you really depends on the dimensions of the range you're testing on... if you are on a shorter range (like I am for my class, maybe only 150 feet tops) most of these tips are moot and you have to do the offset back completely differently.

For the people that's left-handed, look for the cones in you drivers' side mirror, when you line the truck and trailer back up. Just graduated CDL school last week

I wish he had kept showing the hand movement

[@Fleshn2spirit]

The instructions are not lining up with the trucks movements idk

As someone taking the first steps towards entering the trucking-industry, i greatly appreciate the info you provide!!! I just came across your channel and, after watching this vid and taking a glance at your video-list, i became a subscriber. Really glad i came across this golden-nugget channel prior to applying for CDL-school

This backing is the most difficult one for me

[@RoadglideDad]

Great video! But, to avoid further confusion please replace it with a new one with correct steering instructions after the tractor is straight with the trailer. Thanx!

Very good video today when I go to school I’m gonna try this. Thanks bro.

I was so confused about the 90 degree until I stumbled on your video a masterpiece

[@euneique]

Currently in truck driving school and learning this maneuver, I like the way it's taught in this video with hard turns. I taught that once you pull straight out the lane to turn the wheel 1 1/2 turns then reverse to create a 45° angle and after the angle is created, to make a hard turn the opposite way to get back in front of the trailer, etc.. I'm going to try this way with doing hard turns immediately and counting to 3 and see if that helps me better. Thanks 🙂

Love love love this video ❤️❤️❤️

[@themgroup6145]

After watching this video I realize I have been taught wrong and that's why it's been so hard for me.... I think I got it now THANKS
