- This is day 2 for this student learning new range skills. Most important is a good set-up. Backing up one to two yards to the rear cone. Will post better training videos in the weeks ahead. For this range skill
This guy is an absolute champ of an instructor. Doesn't immediately give up on his students but encourages them to get it right 💪💪💪🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Thank you for your kind words 😄
At times, I may not be the easiest instructor for a student to learn from but they can expect a full day of CDL training from me. Hopefully 🤞 that is why with the help of my co instructors, we have a very high pass rate.

Yeah he did amazing, I passed my test the 1st time as well…I’m telling you all future drivers, your mirrors and GOAL is your best friend
Thank you for your comment. You are right, the mirrors and GOAL is your best friend when driving or during your CDL Range Skills testing. Get Out And Look
GOAL.
I was wondering what GOAL was. Thank you trucker Steve.
@@davidcampos7243 GOAL -
G.-Get. O- Out. A- and. L -Look
MAN! I need someone Like this Guy as my Instructor! He doesn't BULLCRAP! I need this type of Training!
Keep them coming, I'm loving the pov. Exactly what I need to see! Thanks Steve. Especially those full tests, show them all.
Not only did he explain how to do everything he showed and explained how to fix your mistakes which is a huge key with driving because not everything will ever up perfect and you need to be able to fix ur mistakes before they start to overlap great job man absolutely fantastic !
Most of my videos are not perfect backs. Even I, may need a pull- up. CDL Students must learn how to correct a mistake or how to make adjustments.

@@truckerstevecdlinstructor thank you for this video I recently took my test and failed on my offset tracking but this helped me allot I realized I was not pulling out to the left enough to bring my trailer tires out and I would hit the Cone i retest this week wish me luck! Thank you again
@@Offasan May you pass your CDL test and thank you for visiting my channel.
What a great instructor! Good job for 2nd day.
Class size- ratio between instructors and students. Having good passions instructors.
This the best parallel video I came across yet ! Thanks for dummying down and making sense out of each step 💯

I'm in the state of Nevada and the test has just official changed over to this one test. We started yesterday at the school I'm attending and had trouble with it. I'm in my fourth day and well I'm struggling the students are basically on their own to figure stuff out but this video will surely help, thank you.
Why are you on your own? To many students or not enough instructors for the class size? Keep notes and records of going on. Show up every day- start to end of class. See my videos on bad CDL schools. The CDL school has a responsibility to make sure students are proficient in all skills. Please 🙏 join my Facebook site: CDL Students and New CDL Drivers training Tips.
@@truckerstevecdlinstructorI'm 66. I got sick and between the flu, weather and car troubles I missed a month and my test date. Shoutout to NNCT CDL Training in New Mexico for being great sports and letting me come back to training. Great instructors and the owner is a Saint. Test date is April 18 2024. Wish me well.
@@GeneralSulla I wish you well 🙏. Big 👍 for your CDL School.
great job man, love this.
Thank you. Where is your CDL School?
I really like this vlog, thank you Sir your a very Good instructor
Great job!
Great advice and teaching..
Thank you, Rahim
Steve, again I'm thoroughly impressed. You instruct your students step by step, to follow directions to a science, correct them and explain why, all while allowing the student just enough freedom to think for themselves to better internalize mentally what they are doing each step of the way. I wish our school had a more designed approach to learning this craft. There's a lot of things you're doing here, and a lot of markings and cones that I'm assuming most schools aren't using. There's many good truck drivers at these schools. I'm learning more and more that there isn't nearly as many good instructors. Maybe their own school administration is holding them back from acquiring the neccessary TEACHING skills that should be required to instruct students properly. Either way, the student suffers for it, and the instructors will have tougher days in being successful with what they teach, more than is neccessary. Lastly, you're encouragement is genuine and your student corrections are direct, yet professional. Very impressive.
Cannot thank you enough for your kind words. Please keep me updated on your progress. Was you able to do the offset to the left? Mirrors properly adjusted.
Do your setup- turn the steering wheel to the right fully. Backing up looking into the left mirror stop when the tractor is about at a 45 degree angle. Your instructor can help you with this. Also in your left mirror, you can see the trailer heading to the left. Next follow up with the right and back up until you can see the left trailer tires .
You are now straight. If needed, make any adjustments going backwards. In the right mirror, you should be able to do the left line. Back up until the left trailer tire is just over the line. ( also once again, if space between the cone and the line is large- make the needed adjustments. Now the left tire is a little over the line - hard left to bring the tractor trailer into the left lane. Use your pull up If needed .
@@truckerstevecdlinstructor Oddly enough, I performed the best today on my 4th lesson than before, and my instructor was only a 5 year experienced Class A driver. She got her Class A at the same school, and during the same time I was going for my Class B. Now she's an instructor on the side when not driving trailers full time every week. You can't teach something like proper driving if you yourself aren't also a good driver. But just being a good driver won't guarantee you'll be a good teacher. She had a gift for teaching. A gift that most truck instructors don't have. You have that same gift. I hear it in your explanation and the way you instruct your students. You would've made a fine school teacher. Fortunately for us, you found your heart in truck driving and found an untaught skill in being naturally good at teaching others. Keep it up my friend. My class went better today, and although I have to leave for work soon, I picked up some graph paper today, and when I get home, I'm going to start visually and geometrically draw out my offset maneuvers with the aid of the graph paper. I've also asked my wife to help me find a proper toy truck semintrailer on Amazon. Does it matter if the front tires don't turn like a real truck? The truck I found at Walmart had fixed front tires, so I passed on it, figuring if the front steer tires don't literally turn, it wouldn't be much help in understanding how the tractor controls the trailer in backup maneuvers. Is this true, or it doesn't matter for a toy truck? Thanks.
Great job
This was helpful in showing me what I am in for.
Thank you so much for posting this very helpful
I'm a student in northern California,Thanks for your great videos Sir,you 'very been very helpful to me!
Thank you Susana ! Best to you and GET YOUR CDL.
Other states are following next year.is what my school instructor said. Great video. Like i said in other video Massachusetts has started this October 10th 2023.
I love this teacher
Love the video bro 👍🇯🇲😎
This video is great! Thank you!
This is of great help. Thank you
Glad it was helpful!
NJ Student, great video👍. Ty
Thank you 🙏. Please refer my channel to your CDL Class.
He’s doing an awesome job for only being out there 2 days 🎉🎉🎉good job
Some students run as fast as possible to train with my co trainer.
I sometimes demand my students to be dedicated to the task. This class was one of my favorite CDL Class
This so helpful. The best and simple
Glad it was helpful!
10:22 easy to know when bumpers in the box the left cone near driver door should be a few inches up from the rear opening of the door
You guys have so much room in that facility. I'm jealous. Had to do mine with a highway tractor and a 53 triaxle in a space just barely big enough for 2 full lengths of the unit. There was no room for error, however we were given the luxury of getting out as many times as needed to look and assess so long as we finished that section in 20 minutes or less.
Lots of room to practice. Are you now a CDL driver? Be safe and thank you for checking in.
beautiful I just heard you say..he`s lined up his landing gear and his tractor back tires are on the line... that was the indication to turn the wheel one and a half turns to the left. Whoo hoo. that is the skill I am looking for and now got. Thank you. will be applying it in my next class.
If the rear left most tire goes past the line, when the student backs in the trailer will most likely encroach on the right side. Stop just before the line or close to it. If the tire is just off or very close to the cone , the tire will need to be on the line. Where are you an instructor at?
this is gold I am being taught in Brampton. The instructors are second-language speakers. I need to figure this out for myself. Absolutely gold. Furthermore, they tell us we do not have to learn offset. 5 students failed because they were not shown offset.
keep writing...keep making videos. My dad was a great truck driver. Super save and could back a truck up a 1/4 of a mile IN THE DARK. no problem. I saw it. I was to be as good as him.
@@sherrieleemalisch8700 most likely, you will not be doing the reverse offset. You will be doing an offset; parallel park and alley dock. I have videos covering these skills. Also click onto my playlist for more great stuff
@@truckerstevecdlinstructor i Will Thanks.
I’m gonna start school soon and feeling pretty nervous. I have O experience with driving big trucks, vehicles etc but really want this to work out.
Try to relax, most of the rest of the students also have never drove a tractor trailer. By the seventh day on the range, you will start to see yourself improving on the skills.
Please check all the videos on my playlist and videos. Click onto each one at the top of the page
Referring other to this site will be appreciated.
Good job sir
Good video
awesome
This look like parallel backing, with an alley dock twist. Saint Louis Mo doing it now
Yes, you can do it at the top of the lane or just back up to the left cone. Now it’s a blind side parallel park. They just call it a reverse offset.
7/27/23 Sacramento CA dmv examiner told me i had to have all right rear trailer tires inside the white line and cone and no touching the white line. Here he/she said one tire and can touch white line. 🤔
Yeah that offset backing is no joke lol
Best.~
Thank you so much.
You have a wonderful day.
From: Hawaii.~~~
Steve the 🐐 with this shit! My instructor was on the fuckin cell phone for 15 mins and I had to go home and find videos to watch! I had to ask him how to setup my offset. Not to mention his English sucked bull ball juice‼️Thank you Steve!!!
CDL Students need to complain to whoever is charge of their school. You are the customer and expect to be trained professionally. Document everything and let them know you may be requesting a refund or a partial refund.
I’m not a trucker, but I would love to take a coarse like this. I drive a pickup and trailer often for work and feel like I have become pretty proficient, but I wouldn’t pass up some actual training.
On day one, I ask if anyone ever or knows how to back a small utility trailer or RV. Those students will learn all skills in 5 days. After that more advanced backing skills.
@@truckerstevecdlinstructor wow 5 days sounds fast. My dad taught me how to back a trailer on the job. First time I ever tried was at a property we were working on in the sand and around two corners. It took me while to get it in lol. Ever since I have been driving a trailer at minimum 2 or 3 days a week.
Trucker Steve is the goat
Are you supposed to be looking at the big mirror or the small one on the right side(passenger side) when swinging back in to place your far right trailer tires on or in between the line and cone?
The big mirror- but still, a driver uses all mirrors if necessary. There is a video on why students encroach on the right side of the alley ( that is only 12 feet wide). See the overhead view.
nice teaching well done
Horrible job blurring the training school name and location.😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Yes, you are correct.
Lmao it’s for a purpose good job guys 😅
🤣🤣kept me laughing 🤣
Yes, we all need to laugh. Best to you on your training.
Right? I wouldn't have made note of it except that they tried to blur it, so now I *have* to look, helpful preview of the test though! Ours is slightly different but it's still helpful seeing the maneuvers
Great skill,how can I get to that school?
Carroll County Community College, Westminster, Maryland. Or also Woodlawn,md. No longer teaching. Google these schools and add CDL training. North American Trade Schools.
1:00 I like the blur out of the school names and then the blur out is missing lol
I have been struggling at school getting the truck straight after I come out the box and get up to the green cones. My trailer always ends up crooked to the left then I’m not lined up properly to do the reverse offset. At the MVA test, do they let you straighten out your trailer before you back up to do the reverse offset if you are crooked?
If you are not straight, you will have to back up Then pull up straight and you will get a point. That skill, there is no free back-ups. When your right tire goes between the cone and the line, go a little to the right then start straightening out. Where are you testing at?
@@truckerstevecdlinstructor Glen Burnie MVA on Ritchie Hwy.
I have issues with getting out the box and being straight as well
@@sheilacooper8190 right mirror is properly positioned. Right most rear trailer tire is between the cone and the hash mark. Now steer to the right getting the trailer almost straight then steer back to the left and get straight. Many students pull out to the left and can see the cone and the hash mark before the rear right tire has crossed the hash mark. As soon as see the cone and hash mark, the student is already moving to the right and by the time they reach the cone and hash mark, they are almost straight.
@@markmiller8853 very good Mark! Thank you
9:43 "come on in do it!" Omg mean!
He left his door open
GET OUT AND LOOK - Tractor in NUTURAL - Parking Brake Applied - Door open, OK Also safely exit the tractor.
Bro we got the same first and last name
That’s a 2 point 😂 or auto failed
I'm three weeks away from finish training school and ....We have one instructor named Brian and I just can say ....three more weeks ,three more weeks !
Best to you on your journey to becoming a CDL driver
0:49 it's easy. Just stop when the left 12" white line is in driver side triangular window
It’s your time and money. You deserve quality CDL training from your CDL School. Talk to the owner or director for help. Fight for your rights as a student.
6:37 are you supposeto passthe first set of cones before or after you begin to give a hard left??
I assume you are referring to backing into the alley. After you do your forward off- tracking skill, you should be straight and parallel to the outermost boundary line (to your left). You blow your horn and the examiner explains the final skill. You can do your setup where you can at. A true offset back. Or you can back up until your right trailer tires is aligned with the cones. Don’t go to far past the cones. ( just near it).
@@truckerstevecdlinstructor thank you for the reply I test on the 23 my manuever is what I fear screwing up but have it pretty down so far thanks again.
This is exactly how California DMV changed their test to July 11th 2023
What did you mean by center of the trailer?
When the student was doing the set up ( for the offset) backing into the lane to the right. He needed to backup At until the tractor was close to a 45 degree angle. Few ways to do this, one way - turn the steering wheel to the left. Backing up until he sees the center of the front of the trailer. ( we may place a mark on the front). In the left driver mirror.
Wow 🤩. Thank you for your comment.
Hi Steve
Good job done always
Hi Joel. Facebook site- CDL Students training Tips. Joined?
Is so nice good great thanks I'm their my is Douglas Arthur
❤
Whats the proper way to setup my big mirror and my convex mirror?.
The convex mirror should not have to be adjusted. The big mirrors on the right and left side, you should be able to clearly see the side of your trailer walls and the right/ left tandems. Also you should see the areas to the right and left of your trailer.
so i guess new york is the easiest place to get cd. no controlled stop. one random section for pre trip and coupling. in cb inspection. just the pressure test for brakes. then just backing off set to the right and parallel park to the right. then done. off to the road
The easy way may becoming to every state. MAY?
Just show the frontwheels if the truck reverse
Just got an email today about these maneuvers being implemented in our state next year. It’s gonna be a headache to teach lol
What state? Just three states are involved - Md; Va; and NH.

@@truckerstevecdlinstructor Im an instructor from Pa and we start the new skills July 28th 2023!!
@@HEMI345375 thank you for the update. New Jersey also will be starting in August. If you know of any more states, please let me know.
@@truckerstevecdlinstructor KS 2024
Was the last left to get in the box a hard left? Also if the right turn before the last left turn a hard right will it still be ok?
As you are backing in, you will have a left on: BUT entering the alley your trailer is going to the right! React with a right (trailer move to the left) quickly back with the left. Use your pull up when needed.
@@truckerstevecdlinstructor awesome thank you. I noticed he stopped,turned the wheel to the left,and then started going in to finish. I guess that works too?
If you in the left lane to get to the right lane you fully turn your wheel all the way to the left to start the process on getting the trailer in the right lane.
@@petter215jones yes- you are going to right. Start off with a full left. Back up about at a 45 degree angle. Day cab- look out the back tractor window. If the trailer is facing the alley, that enough. K
Forward stops are 2024’s test that replaces alley docking. Nothing difficult about it.
Reverse offset. Backing back into the alley. ( looks like a blind side parallel park). The driver will put the rear bumper into the three feet box. That will be test number four.
You will be fine
Nice to know this school is close to my home 😅
The school in the video is located in Westminster, Md. There’s a school in Woodlawn, Md also.
At around the 9 minute mark. He said 1 and a 1/2 to the right. I just want to make sure. That’s the amount of spins on the steering wheel?
If close to the cone- yes really it’s about the trailer. Students need to react to the trailer not so much about turning the steering wheel.
@@truckerstevecdlinstructor I had been struggling my first week with this maneuver. Saw this video over the weekend and got it 3 times already today! Thank you so much ! God bless you
Certain instructors at the school that I'm currently at just leave it up to us to do it on our own then certain ones tell us step by step what to do which pretty much teaches us nothing. I'm really struggling badly with this and wish I had found a school with instructors like this cuz I think I would grasp it much easier cuz right now the way things are going I'm not sure I'm even going to get my CDL A at this point.
A good CDL instructor will teach - let the student try a skill on his own - if necessary more instruction. Telling a student every turn of the steering wheel is not teaching. If a student drifts to the left and does not fix it, I say STOP 🛑. Ask the student What went wrong? How would you correct the drift on your next try? Now take a deep breath and let’s do it again.
@@truckerstevecdlinstructor yesterday my instructor told me this may not be the career for me completely discouraging me. I'm not giving up but I'm starting to feel hopeless. I'm having so much trouble with straightline backing and parallel. Sometimes I get the backing then I completely screw it up the next time. The parallel I completely screw up though. All the instructor does is blow his whistle the whole time messing me up even worse
@@rondyhenderson2696 not sure if you paid for training or if you received a grant. The CDL school may suggest this may not be for you ( with good reason). When I was teaching- We had a road instructor and myself teaching the range and road. Both of us in our 70 years plus. Many times other instructors would say this student cannot do anything right. The two old farts never failed to teach these students how to be successful and get them a license. Yes it was hard for the instructor and the students who needed extra help but that is what we are being paid for.
@@truckerstevecdlinstructor I have a good instructor today so I'm starting to get it little by little
@@rondyhenderson2696 how many days or weeks have you been on the range? How many days or weeks left?
Good money 🤑
No free get outs lol. In Missouri we get 1 free get out & 1 pull up on straight line back, and 2 free get outs and 2 pullups on the offset, parallel, and the 90
That is correct ✅
Massachusetts change it over to this October 10th 2023
Thank you 🙏
You're welcome.
This is Where I'm having my problem. I can't get in that Box the correct way. I need help. I wish I knew someone that lived in the DMV that could help me. I take my test on may the fourth
Please read all comments on all alley or reverse backing. The video on your comment is for Maryland; Va and N H. Where are you testing? ( what state & is the testing at your school or mva :dmv).

1:12 why does the driver have to look like a typical truck driver?
I am a professional Moroccan professional driver, and I have been working here in Morocco for several years, but unfortunately the price in my country is very deficient, as we do not exceed 700 euros per month, even though we work day and night and we do not have time to rest except for a few hours after we are completely exhausted, for example we sleep from 24 hours Only three or four hours and we work for the other 20 hours. I know that you will be surprised by this and you may say that it is impossible, but it is the truth, gentlemen. I have been searching for work in Canada or America for three years, but no one answers me. I hope to find someone to help me move there.

I really don’t know why you are trying to hide the name and DOT when we sow it 50 times every time you will hide when we already sow the full name
The school was not for the videos with their name. So just made a small attempt to hide it. You are right, the name of the CDL school is on many of my videos.
The censorer for this video is a little bit lazy, he isn't?
I have all the time in the world to read what I'm not supposed to be able to read.
Reverse a semi-truck is not easier though.
😂😂😂😂😂
Have you received Jesus Christ inside of your heart?
Have you received the daily bread ?
Block the name ,
anyway i seed
Course lines and cone layout kind of sucks and this makes the trainer have to explain too much was just confuses the driver.
Trainer needs to stop talking and just watch and blow the whistle if necessary. Leave the driver alone so he can do his thing. Thumbs down on this one.
The examiner's accent 🙉👎
This instructor sounds is like “ I cant hear you!
