I too haven't parallel parked since schooling. Its mostley part of the CDL exam more than anything..

CDL:

Commercial Driver's License (CDL)

A CDL is required to drive any of the following vehicles:

  • Any combination of vehicles with a gross combined weight rating (GCWR) of 26,001 or more pounds, providing the gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) of the vehicle being towed is in excess of 10,000 pounds.
  • Any single vehicle with a GVWR of 26,001 or more pounds, or any such vehicle towing another not in excess of 10,000 pounds.
  • Any vehicle, regardless of size, designed to transport 16 or more persons, including the driver.
  • Any vehicle required by federal regulations to be placarded while transporting hazardous materials.

I myself have used it quite a bit since school. It's always at the rest stops in mass though. There's not usually any pull through spots left but there's always a spot song the guard rail which I parallel park into. It's really not that bad after a while, you just get used to how the trailer moves. Don't sweat it you still won't use it much but it pays to know how.

Well, I'll just add that it was not part of my schooling and also not part of my AL state exam. I would like to learn, though.

Learning is hard, it just takes practice. I think there's some YouTube videos on it..
