Hoping this helps me, great video. I seem to be getting lost in what set of cones I'm shooting for
@thelifeofmerckid3 жыл бұрын
Always look for that first cone on your left side…and stay close to it because if your close on your left side. Then you will have plenty of space on your right side. Let me know if you need any more help!!!!

Just took my cdl class A test, and passed everything except the reverse offset! I love that you said when you turn the steering wheel don't roll! I think that's what messed me up! I lost 10 points hitting the cones, and 8 was the limit!

I LOVE your clear explanation (best I've heard), 2 views (in-cab, then outside from rear), AND your calm, sweet manner. I feel soothed and encouraged. I've been so stressed because I failed the 90° alley dock on my first test, and my retake is tomorrow. I'm now going to spend the evening giving gratitude to the Divine for the miracle, then rise early and watch your video several times before 9:00am test. THANK YOU SO MUCH :) Peace, Love, Respect, Joy, Gratitude, & All Good Things to You!!

@lisacarnicom8339 Жыл бұрын
@@thelifeofmerckid I failed the 90° again (successfully did it both times, but with too many pullups). Had only 30 hours behind the wheel! My forward-driving skills are very good for a newbie, but still no CDL. I have to buy a whole 'nother student package for more windshield time. Will do some other work to make the $. Time to shift gears & move on in life. Failure & disappointment doing pushups outside my door cannot harm me when I walk in Grace, my Almighty Divine at my side :)

I had a teacher laugh at me when I messed up. The first turn he told me to look at a crack on the head more. Then turn right to get straight Straight back until my rear tires are outside of the boundary line then Hard left until my foot of landing gear pass the boundary line then Hard right, but I kept messing up and he laughed at me, said I wasn't listening, would tell me to get my tires straight and when I did he would say, no turn it right and I would then he would say no turn it right and I snapped. I was frustrated because I felt like he was mocking me and not actually helping me. I told him it was disrespectful because it was like insulting my intelligence. He told the boss then came to try to talk it out with me then said I had an attitude. I said it's easy to say the black woman has an attitude when she expresses her dislikes and boundaries after being violated. How was I wrong ? I still don't see it. He also left me to figure it out and a few students laughed at me for messing up because they think I'm a know it all because I suggested we all study and test each other with every section, and suggested that we name what we're looking for before learn the CDM,ABC, CDB words. Name it like, This side I'll check my alternator and this side my power steering reservoir, coolant , etc so we know we won't miss it. But I'm a know it all ? So they gloated in my downfall. I never said I knew how to do everything. I made suggestions. I never said I remembered everything. I said I studied five years ago but didn't pass the parking. But they still laughed when I didn't pass the parking in training. I really want to just go home but at the same time I don't want to do that to myself. So here I am on KZfaq, learning the parking with much reluctance. I am literally alone now. To myself by myself. Teachers are even recording it now. Happened yesterday and today So I was pulled into
