    Hello again all!

    Just received that call I am testing this Sunday at 8am..HOLLA!
    I should clarify, re-testing that is. I blew the sight side parallel 2 weeks ago. My nerves got the best of me. Good news is it is not the Statie testing me!
    Any last minute tips (I am testing on a 28 pup). There is no way for me to get a practice run, and like I said.. I have been out of the truck for 2 weeks.

    I prob should stop 2nd guessing myself.. I know my marks, and just need to slow down and focus... So my tip question should be.. any tips to keep the nerves at bay?
    Cheers ~PJ

    Is the parallel before the alley dock? It was when I took the test 10 years ago.

    Anyway, good luck. MA is testing on Sundays now!? Hard to believe, lol.

    them pups will get away from ya. Dont get to staring at it..turn the wheel the way you want the trailer to go and get the wheel straight again. Back slow, and use minor adjustments. Especially true if you're using a single axle tractor.
