Alley dock is where pull-ups go to die

Too close to the hole and the math is over.

Pull past far enough to get the angle. Aim the rear at the mouth. Idle. Watch both corners. Follow with the tractor so you don't fold. Hitting the dock is a fail. We burn Saturday nights on this at 900 TX-183.

What is alley dock on the CDL skills test?

A 90-degree backing into a dock or space. Setup angle matters more than speed. Hitting the dock is a fail.

Also in Spanish

Pásate lo suficiente para agarrar ángulo. Apunta la caja a la boca. Idle. Mira las dos esquinas. Sigue con el tracto para no doblar de más. Pegarle al muelle es fallo. Los sábados en la noche esto se trabaja en 900 TX-183.
