This course will introduce students to the sight side parallel parking maneuver. Using three basic steps, the students will intentionally maneuver the tractor and trailer in reverse from a parked position into the 100 x 12 box on the left side (driver’s side or sight side) of the vehicle. The students will further enhance mirror usage skills and develop a professional level of competency in the various set-up positions and maneuvering techniques (pull ups & steering adjustments). Students will also explore “Skills Lessons” with an emphasis on stress and organizational management. In addition, students will continue “Transportation Industry Awareness Lessons” with a focus on the procedures to drive a tractor trailer with hazardous materials over a railroad crossing.
