Im over at a school in buffalo, ny called buffalo tractor trailer insitute. After a month of my lazy trainer reinventing the wheel by making the parallel and offset box cones 10 ft, ive had enough. New guys are struggling for up to a half hour for each manuver. The test is 12 foot, and his theory is 10 ft will make you pros! Some things work better in theory then in practice.
Today I moved the parallel box to 12 feet compared to the 10 to see how good I was doing “knowing the instructer would never allow it”.mind you I’m the top of my class and get in in a 10 foot box in under 2 mins everytime with no encroachments. After my manuver, the students that are testing tommorow followed suit and began messing up there parallels because they were so used to a 10 foot box that they had to readjust their procedure. After a whole day of it the instructer goes to show a student who is testing tomorrow how to do a parallel. He JUST gets it in The box by a hair, and comes out showing off. One of the students made a remark that he “just made it in and its a 12 foot box”.. he began to lose his cool. He starts #####ing to all the students, asking “who moved the cones”. He approached me and I told him I did.. he blew his lid!
He starts telling me “I outta send you home” and “i’m gonna move your test day up another month because of that”..oh and “if any of the students fail tomorrow it’s because of you”.. mind you this instructer has a petty dislike for the other instructer who wants the cones set at 12 foot (which is how wide they are at the testing site)so he wont give up his power struggle. Eventually it got moved back to 10 feet. And I was left bowing to the king, and asking for forgiveness. Welcome to btti folks!

So you are whining because instructor wants you to graduate with skills enough to face real truck driving life? Or you think you can move walls, fences, poles to 12 feet. Or we should watch your #### show trying to park for 40 plus minutes? That for what training is for.https://www.thetruckersreport.com/t...achments/pxl_20210304_063639601-1-jpg.382851/ Try this first.

For OP it sounds like your instructor is on a power trip but if you've already invested time and money into this then just try to stick it out. You won't ever have to see your instructor ever again once you pass the test, don't make things harder on yourself than they need to be (and I say this as someone who agrees with you that it's stupid to make the backing harder than what the state test requires).a.paul, Trucker61016, Doylee4693 and 1 other person Thank this.
