Any TOM Team members have advice about offset manuevers?
Hi friends, I've been a hostler driver for a year and 8 months. Amazon cut the CDL program shortly after I started and then just decided recently to send me to get mine.
I have everything down, pre-trip in and out, straight backing, I've even already driven on the road. I don't know what it is about offset but it is killing me. It doesn't help the school they've sent me to is awful, you're basically fighting to get in the day cab all day. Not enough vehicles, not enough instructors, half the time they'll start coaching you to do a maneuver and then walk off to help someone else. The instructors are teaching two separate ways and then arguing with each other about it.
I'm just feeling alot of pressure because I have this week and next week to get and down and pass, otherwise I get kicked off the TOM Team regardless off the fact I've went this long without a CDL. Any and all advice would be appreciated, I'm really just struggling to understand when and where to turn. The place I'm driving is literally just a gravel pit so I have no other visual markers than the cones.
