The third of the advanced manuvers. Read ahead for the points system and other rules. Remember during the CDL test you'll only do ONE of the advanced manuvers, you'll do either PP Conventional, PP Sight side, 90 Degree Alley dock. It's a random selection made by the examiner. When I tested and many other examiners do this is we roll a dice labeled with the three manuvers.
You're allowed two free pull ups, you can take as many as you need up to a point. Pull ups are the least amount of points "1 point after the two free" so do them to get in a better position. The G.O.A.L. is limited to only Two. Get out and Look, You cannot take a third look.
Encroachments are 2 points for any part of the vehicle that crosses or touches a boundery line. On a Class A vehicle both vehicles, tractor and trailer are scored separately. You could have part of the tractor and part of the trailer encroached and that would equal 4 points. If you encroach you'll be stopped and required to clear the encroachment, which means an additional pullup or reverse in direction, whichever applies. You cannot finish an exercise encroached. You can finish outside a boundary line for your final position. The final position has to be adhered to or there is a 10 point penalty.You'll be allowed up to 12 points total for a pass. The 13th point is a FAIL.
Ask questions if you're unsure about anything.
