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.

Melissa Karlen that cocky bullS....man as long as somebody passes their Test so what if they are cocky. They spent sooo many hours prepping. In OH u get 2 get outs.
Melissa Karlen Don’t get what you mean by “state troopers doing the road test”, it’s usually an instructor at the driving school that administers a road test
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.
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....
We dont doing this during exam... It's not possible to leave the bus during parallel parking. We can doing corrections like go back to starting position and trying again. Here in Slovakia, Europe. I will make final exam at the end of february. Wish me luck
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.
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.
The bus should be at about a 45 degree angle. The trick is to line the middle cone up in your mirror (in this case, the left mirror). Just like so: The 3 asterisks are the cones and the front slash is the angle of your bus. Hope this helps. \ * * *
+eventide55 Good to know--I'm not familiar with rules and regulations in CA. Thanks! Also, a get-out is rarely used. Only in case of an emergency. Hope that helps!
I imagine parallel parking a bus is easier than a car. Simply because I know doing that in my semi truck and trailer is easier than parallel parking my dually pickup truck. I am closer to the edges of vehicle in a semi and with mirrors I see down whole side of vehicle unlike cars with all the blinds spots. So from easy to hard for me after 28 years as a long haul trucker across the USA and Canada, 1. Bus as it has no trailer. 2. Tractor trailer semi as trailer can bend in middle higher up, and more side to side visibility of the vehicle in relation to curb. 3. The car, tiny mirrors and non flat sides affect depth perception as bumper is not exact width as side of car plus being low to the ground adds to complexity compared to semi truck or bus.
During a walkaround, any nearby observer could board the bus, close the door, and drive away. If a walkaround is deemed necessary, shouldn't the vehicle be disabled or secured in some way?
+Steve Haflich Hi Steve. Thanks for watching my video. My reply to this is: 1. These walk arounds are specifically for trying to pass your CDL test. You should RARELY use a walk-around in real life driving. The only time you would, would be if you make a mistake and need to reverse or fix a bad turn. By the time you pass your CDL test, you should be confident enough that this wouldn't happedn; however, shit does happen. If you ever get caught in a pickle and have to reverse on the road, always contact your RO (radio operator) for their advice. They should tell you what to do in specific situations. 2. The bus should always be secured (parking break on and gear in park) when you are leaving the vehicle. Worse comes to worse, if your bus is operated via air, you can let the air out and control your doors manually. I don't recommend this because you bus SHOULD be off when you do this...and if you are reversing, your bus couldn't be off.
No. At first you get all three rear cones to your driver side mirror. Then reverse until you can see first cone from the front mirror, then turn steering wheel all the way to the left and you are in. No point of going out.

Hello, I am Hongik University in Korean student. I am finding a bus parking clip for my video clip for contest, and I found ur video. It's very suitable for my video clip. So..do u mind if I use this video (just 3 secs)?
So I have a question. How does the get out apply in a high traffic area? Also what is the driver looking for as far as cone positions etc to know when to turn the bus. i'm kind of new to driving buses. I've only been doing it 10 months and I feel like there was a lot they neglected to teach us. Kind of hard for me to judge distance in the mirrors.
I have driven buses for a number of years, firstly you might like to know some companies teach their drivers to drive better than others. The driver in the bus is getting out simply to find out how much room he has behind the bus though why he did it twice iam not sure, (once you know the distance behind it is simply a matter of estimating the same distance when moving as you look out the passenger door next to you ). Other things I learnt over the years when you approach a stop do it nice and slow I have seen a number of drivers destroy bus stops this way and lastly the most important thing in driving any large vehicle, the length of your turn will be determined by the length of the wheelbase in other words the rear axle is the pivot point on the bus, if you turn to early you will cut corners (kerb riding). In time you will get it automatically the best way is look in the wing mirror when you turn, if the kerb or gap closes to fast steer less when the gap opens in the mirror steer more into the turn. It takes a good twelve months before most drivers become proficient though for me I dont do it anymore the hours and fatigue get to you in the end.

Uhh.. any way you can do an in bus demonstration of a successful parallel park? Unfortunately yours is now the only transit coach video on RUclips that goes over this manuver; the rest (like 99.9% of them) are all school buses. And good luck trying to get other Transit coach manuvers results... They're like non existent
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!

@Oakley Lewis it’s so obviously a scam 🤣😭
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....
Were they picky about the slack adjuster and shock absorbers? Did you locate that and point it out to the examiner?
Gregory Alan Bailey yes, you will have to name all the parts on the axle front and back.
Aaron Porter, as well you should be! Congratulations!
I see you posted this about a year ago. Has the year gone smoothly? Are you enjoying the job?
Congratulations

MA allows "get outs"? That is so generous! When I trained in California 10 years ago no such thing was mentioned.

Exactly, it's all about ur reference points, in this case what cone 1
,2 or 3.
It's basic offset skills and using your mirrors
In California, they would not allow you to leave the vehicle amid parallel parking. It is a traffic hazard.
But during the test it's ok right?
We dont doing this during exam... It's not possible to leave the bus during parallel parking. We can doing corrections like go back to starting position and trying again. Here in Slovakia, Europe.

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

I remember back in 2010.I took class at Parker Avon, MA they are very good CDL school
Very good job
I’ll try remember this prior to my skill test
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.
Nice I plan on becoming a bus driver. I have my cdl A and did these test on a 53 footer. It must be so easier on a bus
In Ohio the 3rd get out will fail you... only use 2. Blow the horn to indicate the maneuver is finished before you get out the 3rd time.
This is what Chelsea be doing.
Dry steering is insane
Piece of cake!

Melissa Karlen did you mean the 3rd cone.
Can you post a video on this technique love? Would be much appreciated
that looks easy
I want to get bus drivering licence at Dubai and I learned a lot of this video clip
koj keej kawg lawm mas lov
In California you have to back to the curb only traveling backwards. Getting out of a running bus is insane at best....
+eventide55 Good to know--I'm not familiar with rules and regulations in CA. Thanks! Also, a get-out is rarely used. Only in case of an emergency. Hope that helps!
Do it all the time at Golders Green in a double decker if a 183 driver parks. Bad 😂
Try parallel parking with an articulated bus :P
FastCarsNoRules220 I have! And...it's wicked!!

Would be nice to see a video of one being done :) We don't have one at our Transit :/
Try a set of double trailers on a semi, I did it many times, not hard once you learn the pivot points!
Very good
Parallel parking a bus.
Step 1: don't
Best parllel parking of a nabi bus out there
*_•iiconicResVy•_* I did exactly like this vid demo'd and passed like I was the maker of this vid. Lol!
on my class I just took out the rear cones and that's only a couple points

01:13 ... if that rear center cone had been on the line, it would’ve been hit.
Our cones are set up different it is called a skill's test and it goes in three different section's We are in Reno Nevada
Why so far away from the parking line?
That distance would be a fail for me.
Chelsea did it last night exactly the same...
In California they don't do it this way at all
G.o.a.l (get out and look)
And I'm sitting here stressing that I'm gonna fail parking a Toyota Corolla on my drivers exam......
The tires need to be 2-6" from the curb

It’s alley dot that I hate
He crossed the rear threshold twice and should have failed. Plus, he is more than 18 inches from the "curb". I can and have done better in one shot!
You parallel park the bus just like you would your own car. There's NOTHING different about it.
I can do that...with out getting off the bus
