Cdl A instructor here. What I do is walk right next to the truck the first few times until they are comfortable. Look for land marks around you for your set up. In your twists for the 45, I tell me students to judge the angle of the initial twist but using the glad hands as a guide to tell you when you should go all the way right. This is hard and I hope that your instructors come with endless patience and support!

Driver and former recruiter here, we get so many application and unfortunately when we see hits all over the DAC we have to pass. For my company it is an insurance issue, they simply wont cover someone with a low safety score. Have you considered the other sides of trucking like dispatch and recruiting? Hope you found something.

CDL instructor here. I hear this all the time about CDL instructors. Our job is to be tough but also understand that this is a skill and you don't learn it overnight. I am here in South Alabama. I make strong, confident and safe students with patience and commitment. We cant scare you into learning. I hate this for you, did you get this resolved and pass your CDL exam?
