I don't know, I think that's pretty stupid. In all my years, I don't think I ever had a call to parallel park my semi.

took mine somewhere in dallas. had me pull behind the DMV building. it was tight. lol i stopped so i could do my pull up and the tester climbed back in the truck and said lets go. i wasn't even close to where i needed to be. she took off 3 points. so get close, DON'T TRY TO GET IT PERFECT!!!!!!! keep in mind ONE pullup and NO CURBS. hit it and your done. I"d focus more on getting your static air brake part memorized than stressing over the parallel parking. just my 2 cents. good luck future Driver.

Judging by most trucks parked in rest areas, you need to have the trailer about 3" off the bumper of the truck behind you making that driver WORK FOR IT when it comes time for them to leave, then leave about 90% of your truck length between your front bumper and the truck in front of you, JUST enough so that no one else can get in between.
Ok ok, I kid, carry on. -
Seriously, can someone tell me of a fer instance where you would parallel park a semi? Maybe bobtail at the courthouse or the club downtown, but with a wagon?
