Just failed offset backing manuever...help

Thanks Rhino, I will try it tomorrow.

Here’s what I was taught and at the end of it your lines up and all u have to do is back straight into the lane. So if your in the right lane pull up as far as u can. Now turn wheel all the way to right back up till your right side landing gear post is lined up with your back tires. Now turn all the way to the left and repeat it and do same exact but with left side landing gear and then once your done straighten up and back in.

Hi everyone, My name is Dollie, I'm 55 and have spent my life in business management but recently decided to change careers and become a trucker. I'm wondering if anyone has any tips to help me with backing maneuvers? I just completed a 4 week cdl school and took my skills test today. Backing has been a struggle for me as I have never even pulled any type of trailer before much less back one. The alley dock was what I was afraid of getting as I thought I had the offset and parrallels down but instead I failed my offset so I'm feeling pretty poorly right now. I know the setup but did something wrong cause I went into the lane too crooked. I tried pullups but never could get it to straighten out enough. Any help would be appreciated. I retest in 2 days. Thanks !!!
