Parallel park Conventional, The first of the advanced maneuvers. Remember during the CDL test you'll only do ONE of the advanced maneuvers, you'll do either PP Conventional, PP Sight side, 90 Degree Alley dock. It's a random selection made by the examiner. Before you do this you've already performed the straight line and one of the offsets.
You're allowed two free pull ups, you can take as many as you need up to a point. Pull ups are the least amount of points "1 point after the two free" so do them to gain a better position. The G.O.A.L. is limited to only Two. You cannot take a third look.
Encroachments are 2 points for any part of the vehicle that crosses or touches a boundary line. On a Class A vehicle both vehicles, tractor and trailer are scored separately. You could have part of the tractor and part of the trailer encroached and that would equal 4 points. You cannot finish an exercise encroached. You shouldn't finish outside a boundary line for your final position. The final position has to be adhered inside the boundary or there will be a 13 point penalty just for that and you'll fail. You'll be allowed up to 12 points total for a pass. The 13th point is a FAIL. It's required that you exit the vehicle using three points of contact at all times. Failing to do this properly could result in a automatic failure for an unsafe act. Leave a comment please.
