The side you cross, all the training videos have a reference line for when to turn but I don't think there is a line there during the test. I asked someone who's been there and they said no.

I did some research. First I found a list of Texas state CDL testing offices. Then I used Google maps Satellite View to look at Dallas CDL range.

If you look closely you can see the cones, but I don't see any lines. Just a quick idea.

CDL:

Commercial Driver's License (CDL)

A CDL is required to drive any of the following vehicles:

  • Any combination of vehicles with a gross combined weight rating (GCWR) of 26,001 or more pounds, providing the gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) of the vehicle being towed is in excess of 10,000 pounds.
  • Any single vehicle with a GVWR of 26,001 or more pounds, or any such vehicle towing another not in excess of 10,000 pounds.
  • Any vehicle, regardless of size, designed to transport 16 or more persons, including the driver.
  • Any vehicle required by federal regulations to be placarded while transporting hazardous materials.

When I tested in Nacogdoches, TX we had no lines and no cones. We had a curb with two parking signs. We were instructed to park near the curb in between the two signs, and they showed us where they wanted the truck sitting to start the maneuver. That parallel parking was done prior to the road test. If we messed it up we were done for the day. If you failed it you didn't move on to the driving portion of the test. We tested in this order...

1) Pre-trio

2) Straight line backing

3) Parallel parking

4) Driving
