Wait until your first attempt at the alley dock skill test.

Our docks were uphill, which was always hilarious in the winter.

That's where they got the expression "what's up dock"?

IN just has strait line,offset and parallel then road + pretrip

I think you're mistaken, unless perhaps you're never going drive outside Indiana. The elements of the CDL test are DOT mandated.

to get a CDL in Indiana its just pre-trip, strait,offside,parallel then road test.

Huh, weird. Maybe they changed things since I was teaching. But, you know, dropping the alley dock (a skill you'll use pretty much daily) and keeping parallel parking (something you'll probably never use again once you pass the test) makes very little sense.

When i took my cdl test back in '91, we had to drive a 10 mile route with both 2 and 4 lane roadways, use turn signals properly, proper following distance, proper mirror use etc. I had to perform a straightline backing maneuver, parallel parking and drop/disconnect at the end of the test.

This was in NYS. Don't know what the test is like now.

Had the cutest darned tester too. Short, blonde and she filled out her uniform top quite nicely.

yeah its crazy, but for IN just the 3 range tests, pretrip and road.. pretrip don't make much sense ether... like the coolant reservoir tank its mounted with bolts/nuts but yet you don't have to say its mounted securely no missing nuts/bolts... but the damn lines better be mounted securely...

yeah idk about other states but IN is really simple. but to get the permit pain in the ass. the damn road test could be as little as 5 miles or as much as 20. I think they just want to see you can drive the fuckin thing without hitting anything.
