I’m not one for the easy way out, but the driving took me almost all my weeks of training to get the hang of it. I’m usually good at everything I do and am just a natural at it. I have autism, and I got my CDL, so if I can do it, anyone can. My biggest advice and this is what made me go from all over the place to nailing every move with no pull-ups is to plan your first move, do it and then stop. Bring tractor and trailer straight and stop. Look out window and evaluate your situation. Then make your next move and stop. Re evaluate again and back it in. Physically look out your window, I sometimes reversed my plan of execution because I wasn’t looking at the corner of the trailer and was only looking on the mirror and got myself all messsd up. There is no rules in the CDL test that says you have to do the maneuver on a single motion. Stop as many time as you need to. You only get points when you pull up and or hit a boundary or cone, so take your time

This was really helpful thankyou for showing two different views

This is the most useful video I’ve seen so far about learning and understanding angles. I knew there had to be a formula to this and I was right. The driving school my job sent me to is a joke and just keeps telling me to “ feel for it”.

After watching 50 videos this is the best explication that every student is going to need. Thank you so much I really appreciate this video.

This was the most helpful video I saw on the parallel parking maneuver. You gave a method to the madness.

Keep in mind, if your instructor is using lines or marks on THEIR training course, it’ll do you NO good on a different DMV course!! You must use the truck/trailer as your means to know when to make your steering wheel moves.

This video was awesommeeee!!! Good refreshers for those of us that took some bs course that stalled us out from going to dps to test!

Thank you, Safe Ride Driving Academy! This video provided awesome instructions that helped me successfully complete my CDL maneuverability test. Your guidance was invaluable!

This is exactly how my instructor thought me.

So glad I was in the last round of the old test, straight line, offset, and alley dock. The new test seems like it would be harder

I back up pretty good with one pull up on the parallel parking. But the truck that I use is short, so it definitely Jack knives. Really quick, but this is a great demonstration. Great video

this skills is awesome ,I really appreciate

Thank you I've been practicing and doing it exactly like I see it in the video, works every time. ...Now for that alley dock 😑.

Nice that you use three points of contact!

Great learning skill. you mentioned left but turned to the right,great video this has been helpful. Thank you🤔

You are very good at this. Thank you for the video

Thank you for this video as I’m about to start school in January

Excellent experience

I have only backed like this about 2 times in 37 years over the road driving, and it was at a rest stop. Don't know why they want this on a test.

Very helpful video thank you so much for sharing this

Matthew 6:19-21 NKJV 🔴 "Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal; [20] but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal. [21] For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.

Amazing video have two cameras made clear 🎉

Have to do this later this week with a long side dump trailer and a heavy haul spec 389 that dont turn for nothing lmao

Very Good example 😎😎

Thank you, I'm really appreciate this video.

Outstanding!!

Great great great video

Thanks great video help me a lot

Great video 👍

Helpful video.

I know the struggle, I have ECDL.

Thanks you for your advices Big yes 4 fou from morocco تباركلا عليك best jobs ❤❤😊

perfect. so informative

This was very very helpful but where’s the alley dock?

Simplified skill 👍🏻

I'm in cdl school now and for the life of me I can't get straight back and offset down. I'm at such a low point smh

Thanks

Can you do a alley dock video next?❤

I didn’t do parallel for my CDL just 90 , straight and offset , my offset was terrible I just pull all the way forward and back straight after the initial setup , I wish seeing this video before good explanation, I got cero points in the offset anyway but look awful 😂 , I don’t remember doing any parallel parking at anytime for now but good to know

i have issues with my left N right any pointers

u guys have the same cdl skills exam as illinois good luck to me this week testing out

CDL's should be just like pilot certification

Is this effective for the changes the dmv is making starting July 10th?

I just watch the first part of video straight if i did everything exactly same i would have failed when he turned on hazards im not allowed to switch hazards through the sterring wheel as wheel can jar and hurt your arm and second when finishing we have to set the brakes before we take out of gear just little things like that seem ridiculous to get deducted points right away but driving technique is nice

U said turn left and now i drove off landed in the ocean 🤦‍♂️

This is a great video I watched it so many times I still failed I did better in practice then on my test 😞 and I failed on a straight back to make it even worse and I usually do good with straight back and offset parallel is what supposed to be the hard one for me guess 😞

Left in right out

Im having trouble setting up my cones ro practice,hiw do i get then even?

Please make a video on backing up doing the 90s this KZfaq page is so helpful but our test requires a maneuver doing 90s backing

Do you have a video regarding how to do alley dock? Need to learn that.

How many chances do you get?

quiero aprender esto

Most vids I've seen show setup between tandems but i was taught between ICC and last tandem. You nearly went out of bounds. What, if any, is benefit of mid-tandem setup?

I wish my test was on a smooth road. Mines gonna be at a yard that dirt and gravel and unlevel

I hope my question makes sense but how deep do you go into your 45? Do you split the V in the landing gear or do you go a little past it?

This test to my husband is going to be like 1+1=2 is big truck driver with so many years of experience but no money to move from Africa 😭😭

❤❤

You said left but turned to the right 😢

Respected sir, can a indian truck driver will get a truck driving jobs in canada ? If it is possible then what is procedure & how to apply. And i need some information about visa processing. How I'll get truck driving job?

Urigusha neza brother😅

it sucks that the examiner told me I have to get of the truck 5 times 2 4 parallel 2 4 offset 1 4 strait back

Peace of cake ! Lol 😂

1:35 how can you even tell if you're goin gstraight while you are turning slightly on the wheel.

😮

Naic

On your first GOAL, you exited the truck without the 3 point method. Automatic Fail.

👀

Instructor will tell you do what's the purpose of thos video

Doesn't look like a 53' looks like a 48?

Easy Peasy L R R L and opposite would be R L L R

At 5minutes 5 seconds you exit the truck totally wrong! That's an automatic fail for would be truckers that's trying to get their CDL. If you're going to teach, teach 100 percent correctly.
