    I practiced all day Friday and did all the maneuvers perfect. I will get at least a couple hours tomorrow before I test.

    Went to the DMV today for my Second attempt and failed at skills again because of alley dock. I had a hard time trying to get the tractor and trailer Straight with the red line and do back it up and do pulls because the DMV examiner told me that I could not start the skill if I am not straight by the line. That kind of through me off because I was Focus on that and was going back too much. The thing that kind of sucks is the school I am in only takes you to the DMV 3 times. They tell me that after you pay them not before......

    It's easier in my opinion to just reset and not pull up

    Great work! Just remember when you get out on the road in a truck, TIME and SPACE. Don't worry about getting it done quick, focus on getting it done safe. The quick will come later.
     
    SingingWolf and rbgtag Thank this.

    Yes sir. I already realize that I just know enough to pass a test. Now I get to learn how to be a professional.

    Well if it makes you feel better I failed twice before maneuvers and my school only lets you take it twice but I'll still get a cdl one way or another
