Are you having a hard time backing into a dock? or parallel parking?

 

unless they have changed something in GA the parallel park is a joke. they just set up two cones and you ut it between them. and to be honest all you have to do is get the back of the trailer in it. if you end up with just the trailer in the zone and the truck outside it you are better off to leave it just like it is. you loose more points doing a pull up to try again.

I got my cdl in GA and that's exactly what I did and was told by the examiner

 

I do it all the time what do you mean????

you have to do it at rest areas that only let you park on the side of the drive, you have to do it in town. it's easy once you get it done the first time or two

 

i've done parallel parking in rest areas when all of the other places had been taken, and i watched a driver pull out of his spot on the side.. i dont like parking on ramps so i took the one he left.. wasn't really all that hard, just have to be conscious of the drives and front of the trailer.

 

parallel parking, even if you don't *have* to do it very often, can be a VERY valuable skill. For instance, maybe the only space left at the truck stop is up against the curb, between other trucks. Your ability to parallel park may be the difference between skipping it or being able to go to bed soon.
Then again, a lot of folks without the skill will go ahead and try, pretty much shutting down that part of the lot until they either succeed or give up.
