taking my test soon ,, been in school 2 weeks 2maro we go on the road the first time , im kinda nervous seems like almost as many come back failed as passed ,
I take some training with Adam in SMG. he teach me good techniques. . after all this training I pass the tests . all the trainers and people that work there ,SMG , are professional and fantastic
Christopher Sewell i have a question when you doing the offset and you see more space on the right and a little bit on the left what do you have to do next?
Thank you for this video. I'm training somebody to get their CDL so we can team drive and this helps me explain the process and how the test will go. I've been doing this for a while and am a little far removed from when I took my skills test.
Need more step by step instructions like what to look for in each mirror which mirror to focus on...how that trailer reacts turn left to swing it right
Wow ,,this is so much harder since I took my test ! All I had to do was an off-set from the drivers side and stay 3 ft from 3 cones with truck and trailer !
Great information,thanks! I think that if anything is gonna get me,it'll be my nerves... hopefully starting class within the next few weeks and I'm trying to shove as much info into my head as possible.
What part of Maryland are you in? Did you take the test yet? And if so what videos did you use to help with parallel parking as I live in md and have a test coming up soon
When I was a kid my dad would pull into the lot , get out , go inside and start making a pot of coffee. It was up to me to get it in the dock, no help or direction. How I learned
Hear very good reviews from this school. Was going to go to another we'll leave the name unnamed school but they two they have are in the dangerous ghettos or Orlando and tampa. This seems very good reviews
It isn't about how much weight you haul, it is whether or not the Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) of the vehicle is 26,001 pounds or more. If the dump truck is rated at 26,001 or more, minimally, you would need a Class B CDL. If the GVWR is 26,000 pounds or less, then you do not.
Wow they are a lot more lenient than they use to be. I passed my CDL in 1995 and had to do it again to become a state certified instructor in 2001. Use to be a point every pull up and you could only encroach one time, second you failed. Hit the back cone on the 45 degree alley dock you failed. No free pull ups and you were not allowed to exit the vehicle. You were allowed 6 point, 7th was failed.
Great video but please, use your four way flashers while backing the commercial motor vehicle. In many jurisdictions not using flashers while backing is an automatic failure on the CDL test.
Doc, We have had folks travel from out of state. For tuition and class info, you should be able to find what you need on this site: icdsflorida.com/tuition/ I highly recommend calling the number listed for even greater details.
At the time the video was produced, parallel parking was not a requirement in Florida. With ELDT, it is now required, but it is expected the entire maneuver process will be changing this upcoming summer -- when we have the approved specifics, we plan to make an updated video..
@@alyssalynettesierra317 Passed the first try. Going to school might be worth it though, it was hard getting a job without a school certificate and no experience.
The state does not want the specific dimensions of the maneuvers public. Yes, we will be offering the Entry Level Driver Training requirements so that CDL applicants can take the Skills Test when it is mandated by FLHSMV.
The video demonstrates the courses used for the CDL skills tests in Florida (parallel parking is not required in Florida for the skills test, but is required for completing the Entry Level Driver Training Behind the Wheel Range maneuvers). The entire process of backing is a fluid movement that requires adjustments to steering based on the alignment of the truck and trailer at the time. These skills are acquired through practice; not memorization of how many turns and when to turn, etc.; those will vary depending on length of the trailer and many other factors.
And when you get your job, and you're backing and need to get out a 3rd time to make sure you're not going to run over the Lexus parked near to your path, your boss will thank you. GMAFB.
Parallel parking is required for ELDT (which we do train to in our ELDT course), but it is not required for the CDL skills test in Florida. This video was made before ELDT went live. Nationwide in the near future, the backing requirements will be changing, and when that becomes official, we expect to make a new video to demonstrate them.
@@flatsassassin2034 Yea it varies each state i think i got it now,I tried to do on my own but failed so decided to get private lessons,Have you taken your road test yet?
I did not hear him pull the parking brake before he blew the horn at the end of the straight line lol. Currently getting ready for week 4 of CDL school and I am on here desperately seeking any and all knowledge on my alley docking as the instructor they have put me with for this is complete garbage and does not even know how to set you up to begin the move, does not engage me to correct what is wrong but rather just guides you into the box with enough points to damn near fail out of that portion of the test.

Super Nervous but also very excited. I just started training today and I’m excited to see where this CDL license can take me and my family 👍🏾

I passed
Trucking squad
i do pass my spection but i did not pass my driving next time retaking the test where do i start do you know?
Christopher Sewell i have a question when you doing the offset and you see more space on the right and a little bit on the left what do you have to do next?
One of the best videos I have watched so far... I like the way u explain.. I’m going to start my training program this weekend in a school
Thank you for this video. I'm training somebody to get their CDL so we can team drive and this helps me explain the process and how the test will go. I've been doing this for a while and am a little far removed from when I took my skills test.
Today I’m taking backing test . Wish me luck
This's one of the best videos I have watched for Alley Dock, Offset, Straight Line Backing, I like the way u explain. God bless you.
Need more step by step instructions like what to look for in each mirror which mirror to focus on...how that trailer reacts turn left to swing it right
Very nice with one exception, the last time before the driver blew the horn he used only 2 point of contacts.
Wow ,,this is so much harder since I took my test ! All I had to do was an off-set from the drivers side and stay 3 ft from 3 cones with truck and trailer !
I can back any of my trailers amd put them anywhere. However In a semi it is way different. It takes practice. I am taking my test Thursday
You got this! Good luck!
I have my test in two weeks, best video ive seen so far with great detail.
Great information,thanks! I think that if anything is gonna get me,it'll be my nerves... hopefully starting class within the next few weeks and I'm trying to shove as much info into my head as possible.
Uncle Rico found his calling...
He has! lol
You have the best videos to learn, I have ever seen, I learn a lot. thanks/ from Bronx New York
Great video boss. I have a
test tomorrow. prob the last person in the country that got a permit before the new federal law.
Passed my test I would recommend to go here very good school….before taking the test I would advise to pay for a day or two training
I love u man, this was brilliant information, I from other country, to find this information I asked too many dummy guys told me too much garbage
Wow that’s a great driver excellent driver
You gotta show how to use proper steering that’s one of the main thing people fail at.
Turn right to have trailer go left. Turn left for trailer to go right
I worked st glenray industrial on a lr truck now I’m driving a MR axles truck
God bless you really needed this for my test
Can we get the maneuver steps on the offset one of them
You're gorgeous
Hans G. You’re a simp
Do you have a video showing parallel parking? They test for that in MD
What part of Maryland are you in? Did you take the test yet? And if so what videos did you use to help with parallel parking as I live in md and have a test coming up soon
Loving the 1993 mack truck
Going for my b tomorrow!
Good backing maneuvers videos I love it
Make trailers SMALL
When I was a kid my dad would pull into the lot , get out , go inside and start making a pot of coffee. It was up to me to get it in the dock, no help or direction. How I learned
How many points is a fail?
My test is 11th but looks like it’s easier with this smaller truck am using a 53”
Great video! Thanks!
Tomorrow is my test and I’m so nervous and scared to do the skills
Excellent video and explained
Help me a lot .thank you
Can you fail with to many (4+)pull-ups counted as errors
Yes, you can fail due to too many pull-ups.
The offset Can I pull up before in side the cones?
No
Hear very good reviews from this school. Was going to go to another we'll leave the name unnamed school but they two they have are in the dangerous ghettos or Orlando and tampa. This seems very good reviews
Nice video.
Thanks!
Very helpful, thank you.
I, OWN A 1973, FORD F-700 DUMP TRK. WITH AIR BRAKES. DMV. TOLD ME THAT I DONT NEED A CDL. AS LONG AS I KEEP MY HAULING WEIGHT UNDER [26.01] 🙏

10:45 was not 3-points of contact. Fail.
100% true unfortunately. Since 2018 states including indiana you can fail the test by not using 3 points of contact to get in and out.
Are you allowed to look outside your window during alley dock test?
It's been more then 10 years i haven't done it
Cleaning my system I can't wait.
I just decided to start detoxing to get my life right for this opportunity. How did it go for you
Aren't the amount of looks you have different from state to state when taking the test?
Great video. That trailer is a baby though compared to a 53" foot
This is a good video
Thank you!

school doesnt really seem necessary, as a mechanic i drove these things like this in the parking lot all day. bout to wing it lol
how did you do after you winged it?

Why do U in the USA fine it hard to reverse a truck I do not under Stan
We can't understand your English. You don't see us complaining
@@MoMoneyMoProbz come to the UK and U will find so serious tight reversing OK
Frank Mlchael Glasscock this is for the beginners license test
Which ones are your last cones? The front cones or the last cones I’m a little confused js. Please explain, you have to many last cones.
whats the measurements on the dock and distance to the barrier up front? are you starting Mandatory ELDT in February 2020?
The state does not want the specific dimensions of the maneuvers public.
Yes, we will be offering the Entry Level Driver Training requirements so that CDL applicants can take the Skills Test when it is mandated by FLHSMV.
Is this for class A or b
Yes, the skills test, and the follow-on driving test, is required for Class A, B, and C CDLs.
Just be aware that in the real world you will never have that much space to do any of these maneuvers.
rob1958bc don’t give them any ideas !
You also get unlimited fucking pull ups so there's that 🤷♂️
Yes, very true..
What happened to parallel parking?
Florida eliminated the requirement two years ago.
Any info on the menvours for Illinois
@@smgtrucking So 3rd party testers in Florida do not have you do this now? My test is tomorrow and I have been practicing:)
@@ashleyhulsey142 As stated, parallel parking for the CDL is not required in Florida.
Parallel parking is required in Missouri.
No explanation how to do them,

When looking out you forgot about closing the door
No parallel???
No longer required in Florida.
I’m going for class b. Would I still have to use a truck and trailer combo for my test?
You will not use a trailer for the Class B test.
And when you get your job, and you're backing and need to get out a 3rd time to make sure you're not going to run over the Lexus parked near to your path, your boss will thank you. GMAFB.
Very good information
Good worked
There's no parrelell parking

Is parallel parking still a manuver that we have to do if chosen by the examiner? Or is it only the there manuvers in this video? I'm in Utah
Jose Barajas it might be. Here in New York you do straight back, alley dock and parallel parking
Indiana is straight back, parallel and offset.
Is the Alley Dock a 90 degree or 45?
The rig would start its backing toward the dock from a 90 degree angle.
I was thinking too if is 90 or 45
What’s the sq footage of the wall in front on the alley dock? And how long is this truck and trailer?
The state does not want the specific dimensions of the maneuvers public.
So I failed because I put the truck in neutral,I was told by the trooper to leave it in first gear. I guess it varies by state.
@@flatsassassin2034 Naw,In Mass you can't even start your maneuvers until you complete air loss check.
@@flatsassassin2034 Yea it varies each state i think i got it now,I tried to do on my own but failed so decided to get private lessons,Have you taken your road test yet?
Make sure you shut the door i got failed in 10 seconds
Lot of these videos on UA-cam don't show the right way
Care to elaborate?
@@smgtrucking so what if you stop and change the direction of your wheels with no pull-up like alley docking
Don’t follow this in New York. You can only get out during parallel parking. Straight back and alley dock you have to stay inside
That's a lie!
I had to reverse a trailer
James Hartey
It was Christopher powered up the car
When getting put to look je didmt close his door . its an automatic fail.

This didn’t help- didn’t explain when or which way to turn the wheel which is my biggest problem

👍
it's hard enough to maintain straight line, this video doesn't teach you that, it only demonstrates the results.
Learning how to make adjustments during any backing maneuver can only come from real world practice. Each vehicle combination can be unique in the way it responds.
Someone get this guy some tissues. He sound stuffed yp
Close your damn door!
This test is total BS however, I've seen so many drivers pull and correct themselves like 15 times out in the real world
What's your point? Just because people cut me off in traffic all the time doesn't mean I should go DO that on my test.
@@The_Eastbound_Hyena the point is people just practice for the test then never implement it at all in real life, especially those walk arounds
And in the real world, you should get out as many times as you need so you don't hit or run over something.
You didn't close the door when you got out, thats a fail
Also supposed to honk the horn every time you back right?
A.L.Y.
That's cheating that is 2 vehicle length, do it with 1.5 vehicle length 😢😢😢😅😅😅
heh

You're not even using a 53 foot trailer!! USELESS!!!
There’s other videos with 53 foot trailers I’m going with a 42foot trailer
There are plenty of semi videos out there. I am driving a straight truck and this is nice general knowledge of how the testing goes. How obnoxious
