Raro and sin cal thank you for the info... I don't remember reading about parallel parking, my trailer and truck are a little over 50 feet, that one might be hard to do. Need to find a big empty lot and get some practice in
This test is a little easier than you think. To practice, get 4 cones set them up 10'w by 60' in lenght. When you start pull the trailer past the first set of cones on the p/s of your rig as you clear the the truck past the first set of cones start angling away from the cones slightly. Just enough to see the rear most left cone in your d/s mirror. As you back into the spot use that same mirror to guide yourself to that cone. Trust me it works. Once you get the trailer bumper inside the "parking space" crank your truck slightly and park your truck like you would without the trailer. Back the trailer to the rear most cones and pull fwd a little. DO NOT back your truck bumper over the imaginary line on the p/s cones. That will loose you points.
