I passed my cdl A with this new test . Your mirrors are your best friend . Look up videos so that you can properly adjust your mirrors the same everytime . I liked 90-10 version but that’s just me and adjust your seat the same way everytime or close to it .People in your class may be moving them in all sorts of directions so it’s best to stay consistent.

Also when you’re adjusting your mirrors . Make sure your truck and trailer are straight with eachother and not crooked

For the reverse offset- you get two free pull ups then one point there after. Straight line back- one free pull up. A pull up is a change in direction. So if you do a pull up stop and pull up again, that is still one pull up ( no charge in direction). Pull up then back up then do another pull up- that’s two pull ups. Best to you on your test.

Check out the Video from ground level. The student on his SECOND DAY on the range. Same video, but ground level.

Good stuff. Would you share the exact dimensions for the parallel parking? I am in training and my trainers literally told me that they don't know the measurements. I hope you can help. thx

It should be in your CDL State Drivers manual. I will try to get it for you.

The solid line on the right side is 100 feet ( rear to front). The solid line on the left side- rear to the hash mark- is 40 feet. The outer boundary line is 28 feet ( from the left line going 28 feet to the left).

This is not reverse offset backing…. This is parallel parking conventional

The parallel park is smaller. 15 feet more then the size of the vehicle. But I said what you are saying. This is to me a parallel park. Then alley dock the rear bumper into the three feet box. I didn’t come up with this name. You will see this in the updated driver manual. I’am with you , thank you for your comment.
