    The real kicker is that you will practice for the next 6 weeks parallel parking and the next test they won't ask you to do it. Usually the testers do either or, like straight line back up and alley dock, or straight line back up and parallel parking. Make sure you practice all of the possibilities and not just the one you failed.

    I was an instructor in Fontana we used San Bernardino Comm DMV test office. Appointments were really far out, but they were made thru the school. An individual is different. Also, you can use a different DMV office, if you can find one less crowded. In Ca. not all DMV offices do Comm testing. I would check out Blythe or Needles offices.

    Well I did pay for a certain number of classes, and I took them, so I don't blame them for that. More time practicing in the truck would have been nice.

    No it was not enough at all. Looking back, my set up was wrong. Back of the trailer needed to be past the line. I thought the tires needed to be lined up. This incorrect set up made the backing impossible.

    Thank you. It is good to know that a permit holder can still get hired.

    I appreciate your reply. Getting some more sleep would have been a good idea. I just had to be there very early and I live an hour away, so I did not bother going to sleep that night.

    Heh, I am sure that is what they will do as well. I will practice all of them.

    There has been some good news. I have been working with the school, and I think they moved an appointment of another student who was not quite ready and gave me the slot. I guess the student agreed to that. In any event this is a huge break for me, I take the DMV test again July 27th instead of in 6 weeks. Whew. I bought 3 1 hour sessions to practice with their truck in the lot next week. I should have these backing moves down already, I just forgot how to set up the parallel correctly, but they for sure cannot hurt.
     
    MBAngel and Chinatown Thank this.

    Thanks. Thankfully there is no need now, the school called and managed to get me in on Jul 27th.
