    That should give you more of a reason to pass then.

    Good luck

    That's unfortunate cause I've paralleled parked about 4 times in 14 years.

    I guess they don't do the serpentine anymore?

    I'll have to make note next time of wear my wheels are or reference point when I start to turn.

    It depends on the dmv you go to but mostly they make you do first is straight line,offset to the left and then parallel to the right idk why not the driver side and def need to find a way to set up for my parallel

    They don't do it on the driver side because traffic travels on the right unless you are on a one way so if you need to get the truck over that's the side you will be using. I back and watch my blind side mirror until my trailer wheels get a few inches from the curb and then cut until it looks like the trailer is almost parallel to the curb and then straighten truck out. I'm in a day cab so it's a lil easier because I have the back window to look out too to see where the trailer is. Depending on what you end up doing from work it can be a necessary skill to work on. I probably parallel park five times a day on most days.

    DMV in California picks a random combination of parking skills.

    As @Dave_in_AZ said parallel isn’t often used in daily trucking life. If the OP is looking for setup info I’d go to YouTube and search.

    I honestly can’t remember the setup. I think I set the tandems in front of the space and then turn the wheel the correct way into I’m in the spot. LOL
