Make sure that you always use the turn signals even if you are parked at a curb, I do not know if they will make you park in reverse to the right and the instructor stands at the curb watching if you run the trailer tires over his or her foot, and makes you stop at an imaginary line so that you do not hit anything going in reverse and yes you can go over the line into the on-coming lane to make a right turn so that you do not have the trailer tires on the side walk, always watching for traffic of course, take your time and go wide and use the mirrors, and pay attention to the road signs, specially around schools and fire stations, and be very vigilant for pedestrian cross walks, when coming to a stop sign, stop the truck before the white line and count one thousand and one, two thousand and one, three thousand and one, do not say this out loud but in you head, this gives you the 3 second count for a full stop and not a rolling stop, at the same time that you count to your self scan the left, ahead and to the right before continuing, the stopping before the white line also applies to the a signal light at the street corners, if the person giving the test engages you in conversation DO NOT TURN to look at them and answer, that is an immediate fail, they want you to keep your eyes on the road and not them.
I had a California commercial class "B" license for many years.

Thank you for the information. Since my truck has all sorts of cameras, and I plan on installing the reverse camera on the back of the trailer, does the examiner allow the applicant to use all the technology aids available to help with the reverse and parking? IOW can I use all my cameras during the test?
