Hello Mooney,
I know this is an older video but the information doesn't run out of date. I wanted to thank you for this video. Today I passed my backing and road test and got my CDL. I failed my first two parallel attempts using the skills my school taught me. Using their method I was coming in too sharp an angle and had a hard time getting it in the box without using my pullups and get outs. Since this was my final attempt and I didn't want to fail again using the same methods they taught me, I used your method of counting to three, moving the steering wheel all the way in the other direction while moving and noticed I came in at a smaller angle to the box, which is what I wanted. I then placed my tandems on the left white line, turned all the way right, then left, and was in the box with no whistles from the examiner. I then pulled a bit forward and right to straighten up. Stepped out of the cab, my first time, walked around the truck, gave the examiner a grin, stepped in the cab and pulled the highway horn.
I had several people watching me and they said I looked like a PRO, and I felt like one too. Guys I didn't even know standing there saying DAMN. I want to thank you for helping me get past the parallel and getting my CDL.
Take care,

My instructor made us stop the truck each time we turned the wheel. I wonder if thats a Pennsylvania requirement or if its just how the instructor insist that we do it.
