[QUOTE="MaceFremonti, post: 1371315, member: 36696"] What worked for me was this..... This was with an old Mack and a pup parallel parking to driver's side. Pull up straight until left rear tire of the pup is about a foot in front of and a foot to the right of the cone marking the forward right corner of the space. Turn wheel all the way to the right. Back up SLOWLY until you just see the trailer's landing gear come into your driver's side mirror. STOP and turn wheel all the way to the left. Back up SLOWLY until tractor and trailer are perfectly straight. STOP and turn wheel halfway to the right so front tires are straight. Back up SLOWLY until right rear trailer tire hits the right outside line of the space. STOP and turn wheel all the way to the left. Back up SLOWLY until you can just see your landing gear again but in your passenger mirror. STOP and turn wheel all the way to the right. Back up SLOWLY until tractor squares up with the trailer. STOP and you should be good. Sounds complicated but it's pretty easy once you figure it out. Been in Feeders almost 18 months and have yet to have to parallel park. I have had to back doubles up tho!
