Thanks I've never backed a trailer not even one for a pick up but I understand the mechanics about never tried it

The key with any backing maneuver but especially ally dock is set up. Getting the proper set up meaning having your trailer far enough away from the pivot point so you don't clip it but also not push the trailer to far to the outside edge either. The other thing I would say is don't be scared to get that trailer jacked over. You really need to allow that trailer to turn into the spot. Lastly is all about timing. Learning the right time to start chasing the trailer in order to get the trailer even with the back cones but having the tractor still slightly angled can take practice.

I have had a class B cdl for 10 years now Friday I had some extra time I when to the dmv took my combination and tanker test only missed one on each test easy part out of the way now I'm scared about the skills test 90 degree ally docking never done it with a trailer any pointers??
