Welcome and congratulations on completing CDL School! I'm pretty new here too but wanted to wish you a warm welcome. Maybe you can find said maneuver somewhere online, at least a diagram or maybe a video. Sometimes even just telling yourself "you've got this!" even if you are scared works wonders. Testing can be rough. Hope someone else can lend better aid but this post might be better off in the CDL Training Diaries section or even the general section. Based on what I've seen the ladies section doesn't get too much attention, for somewhat obvious reasons.

Hello, how is everyone? This is my first post so please bear with me. I just finished a private CDL school and am headed to my first company Paschall Truck Lines. I'm very nervous about their road test. I've been told that it's all backing and that they don't actually take you out on the road. I read on another forum that a gentlemen had to back in a serpentine type maneuver. I've never done that before. Now I'm second guessing my decision to go there. I leave in 4 days. Backing has been my biggest struggle with learning to maneuver these large vehicles. I welcome any and all advice, criticisms, words of encouragement, anything, lol. Thanks in advance.
