here try this. Choose the 18 wheeler not straight truck and have a go at parking anywhere. You can even type in the location of your range and try the ally dock there

parallel isn't required for the CDL is it now? It wasn't when I tested in 2010. Not saying that its not helpful, just pointing out that he shouldn't worry about it in requirement of passing his test.

Youtube also has some fine videos. Search for "alley docking tutorial". -

Actually once you learn how to parallel it is pretty easy.. I was told that when doing the initial backing with the wheel all the way to the left, look at your landing gear in your right mirror. Once you can see the paint in the middle of your landing gear, stop, turn the wheel to the right and straighten out your tractor and trailer. At that point you should be able to see the rear cones in your left mirror.
