Skills Test Next Week
Topic 13898 | Page 1
Surprise! You need to practice all of it!
The fact is the test differs slightly from state to state. Basically the test has the same tests. First you must be able to master a full pre trip. In Missouri where I tested every does the In Cab and Airbrake test and randomly gets chosen to do one of the other portions.
Next phase was the backing portion where you must perform a straight line back. After you finish that at random they select one of the following alley dock, left or right side parallel backing maneuver.
The idea is you never know which one you draw at test time. So you need to be prepared to do all three. My guess is that you are trying to do this without the aid of company sponsored school or a traditional truck school otherwise you would know this already.
We generally do not recommend students go this route. Without formal training or a certificate from a recognized training program it is almost impossible to find anyone to give you a fair shot in the profession. Good luck

In Indiana we do a full pretrip (outside, inside & 4pt), skills (straight, offset, parallel) & finish up with a road test. My CDL School (C1) is built into the same building as Driver Solutions & an Indiana State testing site (it's kind of a strip mall setup).
Luckily C1 stays in constant communication with State & updates material & curriculum as needed. If you pass state they give you a coin that you bring back to the school to certify you've passed.
I was a but surprised to learn that 90 degree backing wasn't a requirement.
