CDL parallel parking - Mooney CDL Training Online

This videos shows another Mooney CDL Training video on how to parallel park a truck. The Mooney videos cover pre-trip inspection, backing and driving skills identical to what you would learn at a truck driver school.

I've been driving for 45 years and I can count the number of times I have had to do this manuver on one hand .

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I know this is an older video but the information doesn't run out of date.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,

Paul

I passed my CDL-A drivers exam today. This maneuver was my 3rd maneuver and this video helped me pass. Thanks

At the driving school my job sent me to, they paired you up with 4 different instructors and each one had a different way of doing this exercise. When the moment of truth came at the test I used THIS technique and I completed the exercise. Thanks for posting!

This video here just solved 4 weeks of my parallel parking struggles. I had the maneuver lost, got it again and than lost it again. This video gave me what I needed to master the maneuver and the confidence to pass my test. Thank you for posting this. Your appreciated.

I passed my CDL today in Illinois thanks to your video. I had to make small adjustments because I don't have a sleeper cab and I was using a 40 ft hopper bottom. If it hadn't been for this video I would have failed

Mad respect for all of you big rig drivers! True skill!

I am an experienced trucker, but, on occasion, I hire guys who recently were trained/got their CDL, so, I look for video's on YouTube that I think will help them. I must say...I LEARNED SOMETHING in this video! I love the way you have set up your camera's...great narration, and, within 2 minutes, you get the lesson. You guys rock!

I watched a lot of parallel parking videos and this one was the one that did it for me. Most accurate one of them all. Made a few small adjustments and i passed my test. Thank you so much.

For those new drivers out there, it is rare that you will ever do this maneuver but not impossible... for example. You will find that in some rest areas there is no pull through or even back in lot parking, but side parallel parking, and there will be a spot that you can do this maneuver on. Other than that ive never had to do this at all. This was a perfect example though. Well done on the video 👌

Back in 1979 when I took my (then) Class 1 triple Tractor Trailer license road test. I had to parallel park between two parked cars. I was in a truck with a box trailer and no looking back allowed and no do overs. We also had to stop several times on an very steep hill. No rolling back allowed. Plus back up perfectly straight for a block. I have used all those skills schlepping heavy equipment around NYC. When I worked for the Park Dept. My small Trac loader was kept on a large 12 wheel tag trailer attached to a crew cab dump truck. Every time I used that machine. I had to parallel park the rig against the back wall at the end of the day. The large Track loader was kept on a drop neck lowboy trailer. Sometimes you have a nice place to park. Sometimes you have to parallel park and side load. The first time you drive your rig down a Manhattan side Street, weaving around parked cars and delivery trucks. Only to find out that the street is blocked off at the end. So you have to back all the way back down the street and into a major street like 5th Avenue. That's what will test your skills. LOL Been there, done that.

thank you a lot! I just practiced few days backing up, and I had a lot of trouble with it. even backing up straight. I watched this video, and I had to back up to the left and right. I had trouble backing up to the left, and pulled up 3 times. but I did park correctly. but parrarel parking to the right i did it this way. and backed in properly l, with 1 small pull up. I passed the test. couldn't do it without you!!! thank you!

[marcosablan]

Probably the fastest/helpful video I've watched on parallel parking
Tomorrow I get to practice on 3 sets of backing for half a day
