How to Parallel Park a Bus

Thanks to your video I was able to pass my cdl test today! Now I can drive a bus for my church! Thanks so much for sharing!

I watch this every night before I sleep. -Jose Mourinho

I just received my class b this yr and I did my pre trip and all the good stuff with a school bus !! I was very proud of myself to get them....

We train people to make sure that they are completely confident that they know everything that is surrounding the bus--especially behind the bus. When we get tested (where we live in western MA) the state troopers like to see that you are taking every precaution you can, which is why we use "get outs". Even on route, if we have to back up, we encourage drivers to "get out" and walk around the bus to make sure there is nothing and nobody in a blind spot.   For your road test you are given a max. of 3 get outs per each parking job. We've had state troopers fail drivers because they didn't use all 3--it makes them look cocky (so I've been told). Yes, yes, I know it sounds silly. Even as an experienced driver I still used "get outs" for many things (parking the garage), but It beats paying for any damages or injuries.  I hope this sort of helps. Thanks for watching my video!

He should have shared his pevet points and the formula with the viewers. This is the pevet points people. 1. Align rear axle w/middle of cone...Stop 2, turn steering wheel all the way to the right then start to back until you see the 3rd cone come into view 3, stop 4, turn steering wheel left 1 1/2 (make sure tire is straight) 5, turn hard left. 6, turn hard right put in drive then straighten the front of the bus up. If ANYONE HAVE A DIFFERENT FORMULA PLEASE SHARE....

I remember I had to do that with Disney buses and got that on my drive test. It was either parallel park passenger side (like this), parallel park driver side, or alley dock.

Uploaded 7 years ago, so I guess "an oldie but a goodie". This is a great video; I've bought a 40 ft. coach to convert into a motorhome. Bought a stack of little traffic cones from a discount shop, and will do some manoeuvring skills in a parking lot.

In California, they would not allow you to leave the vehicle amid parallel parking. It is a traffic hazard.

This is what I'm doing right now and it's a lot more difficult than it looks.

ah yes, mourinho's tactic

Thanks for posting this helped me pass my dmv test

Very grateful for this video. I am from NJ. We can get out two times. Unless they changed it. Thanks again.

Very good job

pretty close to school bus procedure. After angling the bus slowly you watch for that one cone going by your front door; then YOU whip that steering wheel counter-clockwise to get situated as this driver did with the transit bus. Another difference with school bus is we are not allowed to get out of the bus to see how we're doing.

I remember back in 2010.I took class at Parker Avon, MA they are very good CDL school

These video's help a lots

Not bad, the driving school i went to only allowed one 'goal' and one pull up. And the box to park in was way smaller.

This is what Chelsea be doing.
