    Watch your wheels because they're the only thing that counts. Just watch your trailer wheels and adjust accordingly.

    I thought you can position the rig wherever you wanted to begin then get 2 pull ups

    Depends on which cdl school what they call it. Beyond that video, there are a bunch of others on their page that may help her along.

    I just never heard it called that.
    Just thought it was a dock move.
    Thought she was referring to more of a blind side parallel alley park.

    Nope, the phraseology comes from backing off a street into an alley, which is sort of what it kinda looks like if you squint your right eye and lean to the weather.
