2 feet is talking about the back of your trailer should be parallel to the cone and about 2 feet(about shoulder width)on the side of it. Pretty much the back corner of the trailer should be on the side of the cone about shoulder width from it. When you get out and look. You should be able to stand between the back of your trailer and the cone. I haven't did this in a while but that should help
When you're backing, you can kinda tell where the trailer is gonna go by paying attention to the trailer tires and the back of the trailer. The trailer tires determine where the trailer is going and watch the back of trailer to make sure you don't hit anything
@@ReachingNewDimensions I'm always too far away, maybe 4 feet, so I am out of the lane when I done. Is there any way to keep that distance just at first by driving straight ahead?
The problem I’m having is when I get out of the backing and have to go into offset I can’t never get my truck back straight and I’m taking to much time getting the truck straight I run out of time how do I get it straight when I don’t have enough room to get it back straight because when I’m practicing I can pull up as far as I want to get it straight
Remember you're getting you're trailer straight not the truck. Try to look at trailer tires when you pulling up and turning the wheel. Do it slowly and once you're trailer tires are close to where the should be turn the steering wheel the other direction to straighten back up. I think this should help.
@@SlamminRDixon I just passed the pre trip this Friday. Not enough time for the parkings. I wonder if you have to perform all them parkings or just depending on the card you pull.
@@TheYellowBastard76 well I'm scheduled for my skills and road test this Friday. I purposely made the appointment on Friday at the latest in the day(when everyone wants to go home) so hopefully my examiners will rush me out and get my cdl lol
Why does this only show the parallel? I failed my skill test last week I pass the straight back and off set. How did you only get to the the parallel? Do you know if when I go back I’ll just have to do the parallel or will I have to do all three again?
Thank you well I guess it won’t hurt to mention to them I already passed the other two backing so can I just do the parallel. I had trouble getting my truck straight after the first two. Thank you for responding I appreciate it I go back in a few days hope goes well have a good day
@@ReachingNewDimensions Ok. Yea, I just finished a 5 week CDL training program class and we were practicing in a 10 speed transmission this same maneuver. We went through some herky jerky with pressing and releasing the clutch just right getting into the parking cones without any parts of the vehicle crossing boundaries. Training was all good in the end. I see you did a good job, nice and smooth and in the space. Keep it up. 👍
@@waguillon95 that’s pretty cheap, what all did they help you guys with ? In HTX it’s 1500. They gave me (and prolly everyone else) all the knowledge to pass the computer test to see obtain a CLP, and then 6 hours behind the wheel with an instructor. You can take your test whenever the truck is available
People get nervous when testing !
Right because I did a week ago on my pretrip at this location
Yes is called being a human being kid
I got my Class A with cdl Connections now .Sky is the limit 🤑
Congrats
How much did they charge you
Can you teach me how to keep truck and trailer straight stop when trailer tire is 2 feet away from the top cone?
Thank you!

Could try to look for references on the ground such as a concrete line or stain.

Almeida is the company. They're in forest hill. Really good trainers.
Mi hermano disculpa..me puedes regalar esa información
Fort Worth Texas?
Get a 53ft trailer and see how well he does.
53 footers are easier than these short trailers
@@jamesm573 53 footers are a beast on that tight driving course they take you on
@@jamesm573 I totally agree
Your dum
My name is Tommy. I am serious about get my cdl license. Can you help me?
The only person who can help you is your self bro
You did pull up when you were in the box…. That’s considered a pull up. But still nice maneuver, title is just misleading.
Dang I gotta do that tomorrow 😕
Good luck 👍
@@tonyflores7712 thanks! I passed it all with no problems
@@ayayron2202 good job👍
@@ayayron2202 congrats man im going soon im nervous 😓 😬
@@jamesm573 hey you got it! Just make sure you're thorough in explaining your pretrip and you'll do great!

It really depends on what your examiner says . could be either or

How much was the truck rental
about 700.. I don’t recall the exact numbers
, kind of expensive I heard CDL Express charges $ 350
Are they always on the right side or can it a driver side as well?
Either side
@@ReachingNewDimensions thanks
What location was this? I'm testing in two weeks in Carrollton Tx. I've been training this whole time in a 53 but testing in a 32. Nervous as hell
Dallas TX I -20
Eso esloque busco amigos
Do I need to use the turn signal when backing up?
No use 4 way flashers aka hazard lights
@@ReachingNewDimensions I forgot to turn on the light and came out to look once. I don't know if that's why I didn't pass at here.
Getting out and looking once should still be good enough to pass as long as it's before starting to back. It's best to g.o.a.l. at least twice though
Gotta use the lights and horn before backing up too.
@@ReachingNewDimensions did you pass the entire test?
Are they parking a manual or automatic?
Automatic
