To pass your Parallel Park Skill test, you must know how to FIX an error. That is when you may have One or Three cones.. Fix IT! You need the Middle Cone ,
That’s is very well explained by breaking it up in to 3 easy steps for beginners( unlike my instructor who does all in 1 go). Saw other videos with images on what one needs to check for each step. Video is very comprehensive but would like to add one extra validation step at 5.35. Driver would be looking in his right mirror trying to straighten his trailer. He would risk hitting cone in his left mirror. Examiner whistled and I stopped during my exam . Later pulled forward. So please add validation instruction to look at left mirror also at 5.30 to avoid hitting cone with left forward trailer wheels
@@truckerstevecdlinstructor hey how u doing thank u for your great videos I love your training my brother for years been watching u I pass my cdl road test manverevers and brake test thank God is good to me and without him I wouldn't be here I pass Steve
Maryland does not require an alley dock. Check out my Playlist. CDL College Alley Dock and on you tube there are more. I will try to put on my own by Sunday if possible. Thank you and referral are appreciated.
Some people say that we must pass the two cones before starting the maneuver. Other people say that we should put the rear wheels in front of the two cones. So what is the best option?
You should be one yard off the cone. This driver was one yard off and center in the lane. I like to be a little pass the cone. Give me more room to work with after the set- up. If I have the room, I may make the connection going backwards instead of using a pull up. The tester may ask you to pull just past the parallel space. So your tires will be pass the cones. Check your CDL state driver manual for the test rules.
I have a 53 ft trailer for that same upcoming test. I keep clipping that front boundary cone when trying to get the tractor in the box. @@truckerstevecdlinstructor
These type of videos are not very helpful because you are referencing "double lines" & "lines" that other people don't have in their training facilities
Yea, if you are at a school with no Lines. Now when you go for your test, there should be lines. Even on dirt, lines can be sprayed on. Best to you on your training.
Please share with viewers. What I’am trying to do is keep it simple and helpful for students who may have trouble doing any range skills. When a student learns how to maneuver their trailer, I take them to the next level of their training.
Driver after a poor set up did pull up number 1. He needed to make another pull up- But: the driver didn’t change direction. So it doesn’t count as a second pull up. Once he backed into the alley, he then made his second pull up. No encroachments and the two pull up-/ o points. Also if he came into this skill with no points the driver could have made More pull ups if needed. A pull up is a change of direction. Not a fail.
@@scalywag the first two pull ups are free - no points. The third pull up starts the points. What is your state.? I have fail five students because they thought they had only two pull ups. Talk to your instructor and give me the state. Like to check it out.
Thank you so much.
Best.~~~
You have a wonderful day.~

My mistake was after i got my left turn, i back a little & i would put my wheels straight which sometime push the trailer out but these instructions 🔥

Thank you for sharing very good information. All students should have an awareness of the trailer MIRROR use.
Excellent video! I like it.
Thank you! sm🔥🔥🚀

Thank you , Hopefully, I will be able to add more and improved videos ASAP.
Thank you. Best to you and always be a safe driver. Trucker Steve

@@truckerstevecdlinstructor Great I will make sure I will this side to all friends and families. I will send any referral I got to you.
Great School.

How long is that trailer? Is it a 53ft trailer?
48 feet

All these lines. I see none here in NYC lol
All good CDL schools, should have their range set up with lines The same as your DOT or MVA testing sites.

They don’t have that in my state . You have to freaking imagine them
There is easiest way you can do by not pulling forward twice.

@@truckerstevecdlinstructor I got you but I was taught simple I can do it personally. I can’t write the procedure because of my English.
This is a failure with too many pull ups /:
No it’s not.
@@truckerstevecdlinstructor you're allowed two pull ups in my state

@@truckerstevecdlinstructorwhat do you mean so I can pull up as long as I don't turn my steering wheel while going forward?
