Testing Soon, 90degree Backing Question: Encroachment.
Topic 19592 | Page 1
Think of the lane marker as if it was the corner of another trailer and you have your answer. Once solo, this will be your reality. If in doubt, GOAL
Good luck.
On the alley dock, if you are to tight, drive forward with steering wheel all the way to left. Then turn the wheels straight and drive foward to take some of the bend out. Then back up with the wheel hard left. Adjust accordingly. Ifb you're to wide, drive forward with your wheels straight, then continue forward with a hard left to put some bend back in, turn your wheels straight and back up. Adjust accordingly. Good luck.

I have my dmv CDL test soon, my instructor has given me lots of opportunities to wear out the testing area on the alley dock, but the goal is to nail it, one and done, no corrections. I got it twice yesterday but other times felt pretty inept. "A broken watch is correct twice a day" My concern is the lane marker furthest from the alley . Is that a fail if your tires cross it? Or points ? I asked but it's apparently not a subject for discussion. I have lots more opportunities to practice today. And each day for the next few, on Saturday the hope is to come in and hop on the DMV pad. My city driving seems ok enough , Standards are being held to a high level,and I knew that when I committed. Will be sooooo glad when this is behind me,. There are many other things to do in the training program. I don't sense the the other hires usually have to test and learn the flatbedding ropes. So I'm motivated to get it together.
