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!
Definitely appreciate you…just remember to take your time so it’s easier to correct your mistakes quickly before it’s to late and you will pass…good luck to you!!!!!
Bruh you the goat I passed my test today I was having problems with my offset parking watching your video made me more relaxed I passed it with just one pull up I could of backed it straight in put I just used my free pull up appreciate the video 💯💯
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!!!!
@@thelifeofmerckid this helped so much, got my offsets pretty well down now maybe one pull up if I need to. Now the challenge is the 90 or alley dock…. THAT STUFF IS TOUGH hahaha
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!!
@@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 :)
Awesome. We only do offset to the left in Wisconsin. Now I know the right! Thank God for you my man. I’m Chad. 2 weeks from graduation. Green on straight back , off set left , and 90.
This is week two of CDL school for me, and my second day in the cab. I'm comfortable with straight backing, so now my instructor is going to have us do offset tomorrow. I'm studying this video like crazy.
Just make sure you look for that first cone…if you don’t see the cone then that means you didn’t kick the trailer out far enough…take your time and you gonna get it…good luck 🙏🏾💯…let me know if you need any help
This is the only video I found that's actually helpful. I'm currently struggling to do offset backing both to the Left and to the Right, I haven't had a chance to try the 90 degree and 45 degree alley dock backing yet. I really need to get better as soon as possible.
Glad I could help you out…just keep trying and take your time and it will definitely come to you…when it’s test day your gonna ace that test so don’t stress it 💪🏾💯 hit me if you got any questions
Good video my Brotha God Bless you I'm actually studying for my CDL DMV tests I will give me a month to know majority of everything Gods will I'm studying this whole month before I take the test honestly but thanks for the help
For those seven who gave the thumbs down you other reasons that these videos continue to go up. of yourself that was a pretty decent video very detailed and the instructions on how to do the maneuver I don't see where there should have been a thumbs down but that's just my opinion
Thanks for sharing this. I'm struggling because my instructor hasn't been able to explain it in a way that makes sense. I'm going to try your way at school this weekend. Thanks again!
Wow that was a great video bro I am close to take my road skills off set was giving me a har time but after watching your video now I understand the concept of it
I’m really having a hard time to do my offset but after watching your video I am now understanding it also is there a way you can give me a few pointers
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 TH-cam, 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
Wow thank you sharing this! He who laughs last laughs best. You will excel and I hope the negativity towards you will be used as motivation for you to pass everything
All I can say it just take your and watch for those points that I mention in the video and always remember to stop before you start turning your wheel…never roll and turn at the same time…it won’t leave enough time for error
I've been taught to turn 1 full turn away, 12 to12 on the first turn yet when I come out of the first turn I'm covering up cone and have to pull up to adjust. I see that you turn all the way left on your first turn...is that correct?
I'm doing my offset this week. I can get it set up but get turned around after that. I always mess up on my pull up, why I haven't figured it out yet 🙈🙈
Could you tell me how u make sure you don't putt too much pressure on the throttle?I be driving steady and then all of a sudden I start going hard , I'm trying to understand how to know how light tl put your foot on the throttle
If your in a automatic…it definitely takes a little bit to get use to the pedal but you would just have to keep continuing to just lightly press on the pedal
I am struggling with this now. Like the person below me stated, one of the main problems is figuring out which cones I am gunning for. When I look at my mirrors, all I see are orange cones lol.
Lol I fully understand where your coming from but I always look for the first cone that will be on your driver side after you cross over to the other side ( the opposite side from where you start at)
The best way I can explain is to always move slow so it’s easier to correct your problem…while looking in your driver mirror, always turn to the problem but remember you got to turn the wheel back to the other side to get the truck back in front of the trailer and then continue to roll back
I see Trust God in your back, great encouragement! Meanwhile I am a little bit confused, in the first step make a hard left until you see the fifth wheel or drive axle in the middle of right bottom convex mirror? Then make right turn, is that correct?
@@Holytonex definitely appreciate you 🙏🏾 but you want to be looking at your axle…once your outside tire hits the middle of the landing gear then you stop and turn the opposite way
Very good I wish I would look at this I failed my first test on this twice I think because I was not turning it all the way on the landing gear enough I test Tuesday or Monday and I want to be able to get it in there without pulling up to much no more then one time if needed thanks please feel free to contact mayGod bless you for showing us this Videio

Great video for offset! My main concern is why aren’t you wearing a seatbelt?
I’m seriously struggling with this maneuver. I’m hoping this helps me. 🙏🏽

Good job brother. Nicely done. I wish you much success. 😄
What was your distance between end cone and first box cone?
140ft?

Aye big bro, does this work with any size trailer? (Hopper bottom) Mainly
I’m not to for sure on that one
Ok I appreciate you boss
How do you straight back? Please answer. I think imma get kicked out the program on Monday if I don't get it by then
The best way I can explain is to always move slow so it’s easier to correct your problem…while looking in your driver mirror, always turn to the problem but remember you got to turn the wheel back to the other side to get the truck back in front of the trailer and then continue to roll back
Always come to a complete stop before you start turning your wheel

Thanks for sharing, I will try it tomorrow !
so what does it mean if i dont see the center cone with i turn my wheel back to the right?
That means you didn’t kick the trailer out far enough to the right
Can you make a video the offset going to left and alley dock please. Thanks
I can definitely try my best to make those videos for you
That's very good. Less reference points to watch for.
