Lesson 03: Straight Line Backing

Straight Line backing is the foundation for all backing maneuvers, it's the first thing you'll do on the state backing test. Make sure you can straight back with NO errors. Your straight line will set the tone for the rest of the backing test.

Lesson 04: Off-Set Backing

You will be asked to maneuver your truck into a space that is to the right/left of your vehicle. You are to drive forward then back into that space with-out striking the side or rear boundaries marked by cones. You are to place your vehicle completely into the space.

Lesson 05: Parallel Parking

Steer HARD RIGHT to force your trailer to the left and begin backing. STOP when the left front corner of trailer is above the left truck frame rail (use the rear window in a daycab. In a sleeper, look for 3/4 of the landing gear in your convex mirror. STOP.

Lesson 06: Alley Dock

Today I'll be explaining the Alley Dock maneuver using the Faster-Slower method which I created from stardust. This explanation is very straightforward, so stick around.
