    It's much easier to miss trucks than it is little cones on the ground so long as you use your eyes and your brain. You'd be better getting out 40 times second guessing than taking someone's hood.

    You get a certain amount of points and GOALs are only a minus 1. Just do them. It won't hurt your score very much and a pass is a pass. Curious why you would choose Swift. The world is your oyster. Maybe aim higher. Unless that's what you really want.

    Im allowed 12 points and i already know my parallel parking if i have to do it will most likely take 2 maybe 3, if i get alley dock instead then i know it will take about 5 from pull ups and goals. My offset will take about 4 or 5 as well because i have to goal every few feet to know when to cut the wheels to turn the trailer into the lane. I do good on the first half where i angle the trailer towards the lane and then bring the around to straighten up the trailer and tractor its everything after that

    You get -2 points for every encroachment on any maneuver.

    Straight line you get one free pull up, after the first pull up they are -1.

    All other maneuvers you get 2 free pull ups, then -1 for all additional pull ups.

    Straight line you get one GOAL, and you get no more, none!

    All other maneuvers you get 2 GOALs, that's all, you get no more NONE.

    Out of position when you signal any maneuver is complete -10 points.

    If you fail to complete any maneuver "in good faith" test is over you fail.

    Maximum of -12, the 13th point fails.
